Goals Thread

Now that I've switched from CFOP to ZZ, I now have new goals for probably the rest of the year.
-Reduce my EOCross moves to 8-9 moves
-Average sub-15 on ZZ
-Average ZZ with similar or better times than my CFOP (I'm currently faster with CFOP)
-Learn a good chunk of ZBLL
Update on this:

-Reduce my EOCross moves to 8-9 moves
Not quite there yet. I currently average ~11 moves.

-Average sub-15 on ZZ
Shockingly reached this feat after around a month or two.

-Average ZZ with similar or better times than my CFOP (I'm currently faster with CFOP)
I kinda reached this since practicing ZZ made me worse at CFOP lol. But are my ZZ times similar/better than my former CFOP times? Not exactly, but the gap is only ~0.5 seconds apart.

-Learn a good chunk of ZBLL
Currently only know around 32 cases, so that's progress. My focus isn't all on ZBLL, so this won't be fulfilled until way later.

New & Current Goals:
-Average sub-12 on ZZ
-Average 8-9 moves on EOCross (do EOCross exercises daily)
-Quit bad habits (unnecessary U moves and x x' moves)
-Refine F2L (learn keyhole, multislotting, better algs, etc.)
-Learn 2 sided PLL recog
-Learn more 2GLL cases (maybe even full 2GLL minus S/AS)
-Quit using some COLL cases
 
My current goals are (All related to blindsolving):

  1. Reach annotating 112k letter quads (I am currently at 111460 LQs)
  2. Reach 18k verified UF5 algs
  3. Do lots of 4/4 3x3s one passing to get better in one passing for 5BLD
  4. Try couple of sighted 8BLD solves, and eventually a 8BLD solve with a success.
  5. Get a 5BLD ao12 (I still dont have one)
  6. Get 4BLD ao25 sub-3
  7. Drill all the UFl wing comms, uf+ center comms for bigBLD.
  8. get one 15+ TPS 3BLD solve
 
Goal: Receive my Custom Speedcubes from the Cubicle. Start a video/streaming series showing my progress to sub 20/15 average.

Shorter Term Goal: Relearn all the PLLs and the basic 7 OLLs within 2 weeks of receiving my cubes.
Bonus: Get Sub 30 Average in 2 weeks.

Old Previous Best Average was 21 seconds. Done 8 years ago
 
Here's my summer goals:

3x3: globally sub-15 with full OLL
2x2: sub-4 with CLL
4x4: sub-1
5x5: sub-2
6x6: sub-4:30, maybe sub-4
7x7: sub-7:30, maybe even sub-7
Pyra: stay sub-10
Mega: sub-2
Skewb: do a solve
Squan: sub-40, and maybe learn some more algs
Clock: sub-10 would be awesome
OH: sub-30 (kinda ambitious, but definitely doable)
3BLD: get at least 3 more successes, with at least one of them being sub-4
 
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 :)

wow loosing momentum more and more with the monthly goals.
idk life is happening yeah. I'm going back to uni soon and I've only got so many years of collegiate athletics before I graduate so I want to be able to perform my best. Running and getting back in shape is taking a lot of time so I didn't get to do as much sessioning last month and going forward but it's alright

May goals:

3x3:
1k solves
do actual first pair practice in a session (I can do it sometimes when im solving casually on the bus and whatnot)
sub 10.5 ao100 plz (pb is 10.6, last month had a 10.8)

OH:
1k solves
be fast

zbll:
drill sunes

Mega:
400 solves
get good at black ll plz

kilo:
400 solves

videos:
recons x2 i think? might be able to do 3
unboxing but its not gonna be good
sub15 ao50/25 OH
sub10 ao12 3x3
minesweeper
typing handcam
hurdle??
animationss?
From what I remember I didn't solve much and then got addicted to minesweeper. oh well, that was really fun while it lasted. Haven't spedrun minesweeper in a bit and I probably won't pick it up until I need to procrastinate on my homework once school starts.


ZMS is doing a 10k solves in August challenge and I've got a good start to that already (~2k so far). Therefore:

3x3:
Complete the challenge
Sub 9.50 ao1k I don't think is unreasonable.
Sub 6 single
wrm2021???

OH:
sub14 ao100

other things:
run: cada dia
spanish: por lo menos treinta horas por favor quiero dominarlo tanto y tendre clases en septiembre

wrm2021???

only hit 6009 solves. Some serious personal things came up about halfway through the month and then I moved back into the dorms an uni so I just ran out of time. I was on pace until things happened though
Last ao1k was 10.14, but I was my current session of 700 was at 9.97 when the challenge ended. I'll finish that average up this week and see where it puts me
I got at least 3-4 6s, but no sub6. Probably somewhere around like 100-150 7s though
I haven't bought a new cube yet but I'm leaning towards it. perhaps a backup rs2020 as well


OH:
sub14 ao100

I only did like 200 solves
14.06 ao50 and like 14.48 ao100
but now that august is over I can focus on that more


other things:
run: cada dia
spanish: por lo menos treinta horas por favor quiero dominarlo tanto y tendre clases en septiembre

casi sino por los ultimos semanas cuando habia los cosas personales :/
yo conte las horas y tenia cuarenta horas y diez minutos :) (lo mas fue escuchar cuando lave los platos o comer o resolver, pero tambien habia un poquito de estudiar y hablar)
Overall a solid month, or at least solid half month. Not gonna let it bog me down

Goals for September:

OH:
4k solves
sub 14 ao1k
sub 13.3 ao100 (idk. be fast)
record and recon sub14 ao50

3x3:
500ish solves or whatever who cares anymore
sub10 ao1k
