Goals Thread

I'm averaging about 18.5 seconds on 3x3 right now, so I'm hoping to break
1. sub 17 second average by june
2. sub 16 average by end of july
3. sub 15 by september
 
I thought it would be interesting to look at personal best (PB) improvements in competitions. Here are my personal stats. I only included averages on events with averages, since I generally don't care much about singles. When counting the number of competitions since the last PB, I only counted competitions that actually hold that particular event.
Code: 
Event         # of competitions since last PB        # of competitions where I got a PB (# of competitions where I competed in that event)
=====         ===============================        =====================================================================================

Anyway, I have two goals:
1. Get a PB on the events where I've gone too long since my last PB, in particular 3x3x3 BLD and Magic, at my next competition. (That means actually practicing Magic with two hands for a change. :))
2. Make all the cutoffs for combined finals at US Nationals this year.

#2 will be particularly hard for me on 6x6x6, 7x7x7, and megaminx, but even the others are challenging for me. It's almost like all the lines were drawn just to maximize my personal drama at trying to make the cuts. :)
 
By mid-July I want to be at these times:

2x2x2: Sub-7 Avg Achieved!
3x3x3: Sub-15 Avg (Almost sub-20, so is possible)
4x4x4: Sub-1 Avg
5x5x5: Sub-2:30 Avg
Megaminx: Sub-1:30 Avg (This is my main goal, will try and get this first.)
3x3x3OH: Sub-40 Avg
3x3x3BLD: A Success would be nice
Square-1: Sub 1:10 Avg (Stuck at 1:30 for 2 Months now, only been doing it for 4!)
Clock: Sub-15 Avg

Get a Magic and sub-2 consistently, (I don't know much about Magic, is this goal hard?).

Depends how much you practice it, I've been doing it for about 6 Weeks with little practice and I'm at about 1.6 seconds

Lol :P

Some goals/wishes/hopes for TOSp:

New PB 3x3 single (wildly unpredictable. Could smash it by 4 seconds, might not even beat it).
Sub-23 3x3 average (although I know I'm capable of sub-20. Don't want to mess up and get 21, 21, 30, 19, 34 like last time :P).
Second round 3x3 (would be awesome, but highly unlikely).
New PB 2x2.
Final round 2x2.
Sub-6 2x2 averages (a sub-5 average would be nice :)).
Sub-7 pyraminx single (although a sub-6 would be great. I can has top 10 in Canada?).
Sub-9 pyraminx average (although I know I can get sub-8, or even sub-7 if the scrambles are nice. I can has top 10 in Canada?)
At least 2/3 BLD successes.
Sub-2:45 BLD (although the lower, the better, of course :3 I can has top 10 in Canada? Probably not).

Forgot I made this post, but I accomplished 3x3 and 7x7, they were easy once I actually tried. Screw the rest of those for now.

New goal:
Get sub-16 color neutral avg50 on 3x3 by early May. Yes I'm serious.

New goals for..starting May 1st.

Sub25 OH average
Have at least 6/6 multi
Sub13 average of 12 on 3x3x3
Finish learning CLL and become sub5 easily
Become comfortable using BH/Turbo in BLD solves
Sub 1:10 average 4x4x4
Sub4 average Master magic

Click to expand...
Ending early

All successes except for master magic and CLL/BLD

New goals for June 1st.
Sub21 OH average
13/13 (or more) mult BLD
Get NAR in multi BLD (only 1 chance to do this by June xD
More sub12 ao12s
Sub1 average 4x4x4.
More sub1:30 BLD solves.
Practicing more comms in BLD.
 
So, I'm nearly consistent sub-40 Roux now, though I'm aiming for sub-30. My Fridrich times are 30 - 35-ish, and I want to surpass my Fridrich with Roux.

I also want to learn full CMLL (I know headlights, all oriented, and chameleon CMLL so far. The rest I do two-look). Would like to know full CMLL By the end of May LATEST.

Primary goals (in semi-order):
Get sub-40 Roux
Learn full CMLL
Get sub-30 Roux (<-- Will probably take a while)

Secondary goals:
Multi-BLD at least 3 cubes successfully. This will take a while, since I haven't even normal BLD'd in over 2 weeks, as I'm focusing on Roux at the moment...
 
New goals by the end of Juneish

sub 15 3x3 average
sub 1:05 4x4 average
sub 2:05 5x5 average - DONE
sub 10 3x3 single
sub 55 4x4 single
sub 1:55 5x5 single - DONE
Sub 6 7x7, single or average - DONE
Get a core or some screws for my 6x6 for once
