[Humble Cuber]

My main goals for summer are only for 4 events.

Clock - Sub 5 (Current Avg 5.7)
4x4 - Sub 45 (Currently Avg 53-50)
5x5 - Sub 1:25 (Currently Avg 1:35 -1:40)
Megaminx - Sub 1 (Current Avg 1:15)
I plan to practice a lot during summer and it seems that comps might be coming back in my area soon

Update to my goals:
Clock average is now 5.4 -5.5
4x4 I achieved sub 50 but still not quite sub 45
Megaminx average is currently 1:05 -1:10

Didn’t end up achieving most of my goals but I’m still pretty happy with my progress

get more ambitious, im pretty sure that you can reach most of these goals much well before the dates you listed here

Good idea, it’s not like we’re getting out of this lockdown for a few years months

 

[GenTheSnail]

Join the sub10 2H and sub14 OH ZZers before the end of 2019

lets go boi

hmm its a bit past the end of 2019 but hey at least it's done

3x3
9.58 ao100
9.999 ao1000

oh
13.94 ao100
(yeah it's not global but it's close enough I just wanted to complete the above post)

So now that feet's gone, I can focus solely on OH and Mega:
OH sub 12
Mega sub 45
3x3 sub 9 maybe? idrc

I've still got a lot of work to do whatever these goals are. Megaminx on hold for the moment; I'll check back in at the end of the year ig
Although it is looking like I could realistically be sub12 oh and only be mid/low 9 with 2h which I think would be really funny

[Scollier]

Main Goal: Learn 3BLD. I seriously want to learn it, but I'm struggling with it

Goals for 3x3:

Become sub 2
Optimize full PLL
Learn better F2L

I may or may not add to this, but I'm keeping this realistic, I don't want to be overambitious or overwhelm myself.

 

[Flowkap]

I actually just enjoy puzzling right now. anyway these would be cool to achieve:

Sub 30s on 3x3 with both CFOP and Roix

Sub 1:30 on 4x4

Sub 5 on 2x2

Getting a 5x5, Megaminx, Skewb and potentially a lot more puzzles.

 

[CubeRed]

As I only do 2 events (3 if you count superflip solves) mine is pretty simple.

Short
Sub 15, full OLL (half way done) 3x3
Sub 2 4x4

Long
Sub 12 or 10 3x3
Sub 1:30, yau 4x4

 

[hellocubers]

short: sub 38 Roux 3x3
learn full OLL and PBL (Ortega) and sub-9

Long maybe: sub-20 and then world-class roux 3x3
sub-4 2x2

 

[Triangles_are_cubers]

short term:
learn dual CN with roux
continue learning CLL on 2x2 (stopped last year december)
sub-5 on pyra
sub-6:00 on 7x7
sub-3:30 on 6x6
do 5x5 again lol

long teerm:
eventually learn full CMLL and get sub-6 with roux
get faster at OH
start doing blind
sub-40 on megaminx

 

[Garf]

Well, we can all have goals, right? Some good long term goals, some short term goals. Well, what is a reward for achieving that goal, to keep you motivated in every single solve that you do? What will push you? How will it push you?
Okay, Imma stop. Just some thoughts to have.

 

[Eli Apperson]

What is a reward for achieving that goal

Getting good comp results, getting to win, and podium at comps, getting sponsored, ect.

What will push you?

Being $20,000 in debt because of cubes. I need to make it back, quick.....

How will it push you.

Self explanatory.
