Goals Thread

Finished learning my new algs for 5x5 BLD. Need to get used to them now. Goals:
1) sub-4 single on cam;
2) sub-4:30 official solve.
Deadline: Euro 2016.

holy ******* wow

Goals for Slow n' Steady 2016:

1) Win Megaminx
2) Get into 3x3 R3 (finals would be nice!)
3) Redeem myself and get a 5x5 average

To secure these goals:
By SnS Spring 2016: (Jun 18)

Sub 11 3x3
Sub 1:50 5x5
Sub 0:57 Mega
 
Forgot to post my goals for atlantic open 2016, but I achieved 14/22 of them. Not the best but some of them were pretty unrealistic (Sub-2 megaminx average after doing like 2 solves every couple weeks, I mean come on XD) and at least its more than half. Also I completely smashed my OH and 2x2 goals.

Here are my goals to be completed by my next competition (At home PBs), whenever that will be.
Megaminx: Sub-1:20 Single, Sub:1:30 Average
Pyraminx: Average ~4 seconds consistently
3BLD: Learn M2, get decent (Sub-3?)
2x2: Average ~3 seconds
3x3: Average Sub-11 seconds
4x4: Sub-35 single, Sub-45 Average
5x5: Average sub-1:25 consistently, get sub-1:10 single
6x6: Sub-2:30 Single, Sub-2:45 Average
7x7: Sub-4 Single, Sub-4:30 average
3x3 OH: Sub-12 Single, Sub-18 Average
MultiBLD: Get a successful 2/2 lol
Fewest Moves (If at next competition): Practice writing moves down before competition, then dont DNF all attempts and waste 3 hours of your life -_-'.
3x3 with feet: Try it, see if i can get good at it
 
So I got some comps coming up in the next month: Severna Park Spring 2016 and ODU Big Blue Spring 2016
Goals for ODU: 3x3- Sub-10.5 average, sub-10 would be nice, and at least beat 8.14 single
4x4- Sub-45 average, sub-42 single at least, really hoping for sub-40 though
5x5- idrc, but sub 1:50 average and 1:40 single
OH- sub-19 average, sub-15 single (so actually get an epll)
SQ1- lol i signed up? oh well.
Severna Park: 3x3- better than ODU, make 3rd round (or finals woop woop)
4x4- better than ODU, top 10
OH- sub-15 single, top 12
SQ1- make sure my squan survives that long
Skewb- actually practice before hand, sub-5.5 average (maybe sub-5?), and convince the organizers to have a second round
 
Learn full ZBLL in the next 2-6 months (I'm a quick alg learner). Just need to focus and stay motivated... Which I suck at.
Get sub 20 on 3x3 by summer vacation.
 
Goals for VA
2x2 win and sub 2.2 avg
3x3 finals and more 10 avgs and sub 9 single
4x4 sub 50 and not 49.99 again
Oh 25 avg
Bld finals sub 2:30 single and break my 3:00.00 mean

Serverna goals
3x3 finals and sub 10 avg.
Skewb sub 7 avg.
4x4 sub 50
Squan sub 40
Oh sub 25
 
I'm going to spend the next month practicing a new method.

Ima memo 100 algs and see what happens.

Goal: Sub-15 average with a new method in a month.

Finish 3-style before the end of the month. I only have a few edge comms left and I've been putting it off for way too long, might as well get it done now lol

LOL this didn't really happen... did make some progress though :p

Goals before North London Open:
Megaminx: Sub 1:10
Square-1: Sub 15
Clock: Sub 10
5x5: Sub 1:30 maybe, depending on how good the bochuang is compared to my aochuang
MultiBLD: sup 20 points, preferably an n/n attempt
 
Well, recently I had a lot of progress in 3x3 just by doing tons of timed solves every day (I think I got from 21 seconds to 17 seconds average in ~1.5 months and for now I seem to keep going). That's really nice but along with the start of my semester I want to get back into learning new things. Because even if I don't need it for now, I will in the long run.

For that I prepared a real schedule.

until Sunday, 2016-04-24: re-learn full OLL for the 3rd time and use it in solves
until Sunday, 2016-05-01: become dual CN (white/yellow) once again (in theory I already am but I always go for white), spam yellow crosses only during that week
until Sunday, 2016-05-08: use some basic edge control (sledge to avoid dot or to skip EO), get familiar with using some LS technique at all instead of brainlessly inserting
until Sunday, 2016-05-15: be able to solve the cross blindfoldedly and plan in inspection (yep, I avg ~17 and plan 3 cross edges max ._.)
until Sunday, 2016-05-29: be able to track my first F2L pair in inspection and sometimes do xcrosses
until Sunday, 2016-06-05: exchange some inefficient F2L cases (there are only a few, it should be fine)
until Sunday, 2016-06-19: learn full WV and use it in solves

A tough schedule, but it might be good to stop learning new stuff one month before my next comp (Euro 2016).
 
Goals by the summer:

Sub 16 ao100 on 3x3 (I took a break from cubing, now I'm slower)
Consistently average sub 6 on 7x7
Consistently average sub 4 on 6x6
Consistently average sub 2 on 5x5
Consistently average sub 1 on 4x4
 
Goals for Melbourne Autumn 2016:

2x2: sub 5 avg way overdue

3x3: Sub 16 avg

FMC: I'd be happy with a success and happier with a sub 60

Sq1: Sub 25 avg and sub 20 single? Wishful thinking probably

Pyra: idc just don't do badly
 
Welp Hamish did it so I might aswell

Melby autumn 2016 stuffs

2x2: SUB-4 AVG WOULD BE NICE FOR THE GABILLIONTH TIME GAH
3x3: Idk, haven't practiced in ages. Maybe a sub-12 avg would be nice.
Pyra: HAHAHHAAHH UR FUNNY
Square-1: Sub-22 avg
Megaminx: Maybe make the cutoff? Pretty unlikely though
FM: Sub-40 single would be pretty awesome
Multi: 4 points+
