From where I am now, Roux seems to be the easiest method to get sub-10. My splits are all roughly a second higher than what I think they should be for sub-10, so I'm going to focus on them one at a time.

Goal: Take one second off my FB. Aim for ~2 second average, and be able to plan it in inspection at least 90% of the time. Total average solve time sub-13.
Deadline: November.

Been very busy, not done any practise for two weeks. Got down to mid 13, but I've slowed down again.

Same goal, new deadline: 2016.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Haha good luck. I don't know full OLL either

ZBLL Pi finished by Xmas.

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

My lone goal finish before the end of the year:
-Get my long-awaited sub-40 3x3 average in comp, like I've been capable of at home for some months, and yearning for in multiple comps now.

..And I have only one comp left to achieve this goal.

Cmon, I keep letting nerves get the better of me in comp, my past two averages have been utterly attrocious. Next comp is going to be smaller and hopefully quieter, this is good of a chance as any. Let's do this!

I might need a list of algs though, or is every ZBLL learner generating them by oneself?

I use simon swansons PDF of all cases, so I can keep ticking off the ones I know, however a lot of his algs are not nice so use Algdb and BindedSA's ZBLL sheet for nicer cases

You can do it! I get nervous a lot a comps too, but the best advice I can give is try to NOT focus on a specific goal (sub-40 in your case) that psyches you out. Try to just go and solve the cube.
Your sig actually describes my advice quite well because I'm horrible at controlling my nerves in comp and for me, adrenaline dumps are like the hard counter to lookahead

My first comp I had major nerves (my second one I did too... But because I was the organizer. Not because of my solves) How I combated that (and got really good times for me at both) was to breath deeply and be, for lack of a better word, flippant about it. Move and get it all out.

Insert Tyler's sig here

Skewb: To learn how to solve it

One word... Sledge. Now you know how to solve it! JK, JK. It only took about 5 minutes for me to learn though.

Not JK at all. Spam sledges for days
(Hey, Sarah's beginner method got me a 12-second official average, so it can't be that bad, right?)

 

[OkinawaSolver]

Sub 20 cfop

 

[NewCuber000]

Atlantic Open fall 2015 is less than 2 weeks away so I'm going to make some goals.

2x2: Sub-4.5 Average and Sub-3.5 single (1st place, but I don't really care for 2x2 honestly I just want good times))
3x3: Sub-12.5 Average and Sub 11.5 single (Podium)
4x4: Sub-52 Average, Sub-48 single (1st place, but 2nd is more realistic )
5x5: Sub-1:35 average, Sub-1:28 single (1st place)
3x3 OH: Sub-23 average, sub-20 single (1st place)
3x3 BLD: Practice before the comp and get a decent sub-5?
Pyraminx: Sub-6.5 average and 5.5 single (Podium)
Skewb- Sub-10 average, sub-9 single (Podium I guess)

Other goals:
1. Make it on NAR top 300 sum of ranks
2. Win a new 4x4 by winning the 4x4 event so I can stop using my dads XD.
