Goals:
Megaminx:
Focus on efficiency this week + practice F2L until sub 25.
2x2: Practice efficiency for layers + do 200 solves.
3BLD: Do 20 solves. Aiming for sub 1:50.

Progress:
Megaminx:
I did ~50 untimed solves and 30 F2L only solves. Still need to practice F2L until I'm consistently sub 25.
2x2: 200/200 solves. I still have plenty of room to improve layer efficiency by watching example solves and I need to work on getting inspection consistently under 15 seconds
3BLD: I'll work on the same goal this week. I only did a couple solves last week.
Goals:
3BLD:
20 solves. Aiming for sub 1:50
3x3: Going to start a three week plan to focus mainly on 3x3, starting with efficiency this week + Do 100 FB solves.
Megaminx: Keep doing untimed solves and do some focused practice.

Progress:
3BLD:
Didn't do many solves so I will do this goal again.
3x3: More than 100/100 FB only solves. I did plenty of untimed solves while using the FB solver tool on csTimer and hopefully decreased move count.
Megaminx: I wasn't timing many solves (I did 25+ untimed) and I still need to work on F2l.
Goals:
3BLD:
20 solves. Aiming for sub 1:50
3x3: 50 slow turning solves + sub 13 Ao5
Megaminx: Sub 25 Ao5 for F2L only + sub 1:20 Ao5

Progress:
3BLD:
0/20. Will try again next week
3x3: 50/50 slow solves. Didn't get a sub 13 Ao5 so I will try again.
Megaminx: Getting closer to sub 25 F2L (~28 on average) I think I'll take a break from mega and when I come back I will analyze/film some solves to work on efficiency. Still going for that sub 1:20 Ao5 tho
Goals:
3BLD:
20 solves.
3x3: Sub 13 Ao5
2x2: Review CLL + 100 solves

Progress:
3BLD:
0/20 solves. I will have to set aside time this week so that I can focus and do a solid session.
3x3: Will keep pushing for sub 13. I learned/smoothed over a handful of SB cases and I did a few Mo10Ao5 sessions.
2x2: 32/100 solves. Only had time for a quick session but I was able to review most cases.
Last Week's Goals | Progress
3BLD:
20 solves | 0/20. I will focus primarily on getting back into 3BLD this week.
3x3: Sub 13 Ao5 | 12.91 Ao5! Also did a Mo10 Ao5s session and a Monkey League format match with my brother, so got lots of solves in.
2x2: Sub 3.5 Ao5 | 2.96 Ao5!
Last Week's Goals | Progress
3BLD:
20 solves + Do a session with a focus on memo/creating letter pairs quickly | 0/20. I will focus primarily on getting back into 3BLD this week.
3x3: Sub 13 Ao5 + go through all SBLS cases and get bad cases in muscle memory | 12.91 Ao5! Also did a Mo10 Ao5s session and a Monkey League format match with my brother, so got lots of solves in.

Previous goals || Progress
3BLD:
20 Solves || ~10/20 solves. I think I’ll hold off practicing bld for a while now; maybe until comps come back.
Sq1: Touch up on algs + Grind until sub 20 Ao5 || 20.11 Ao5 was my best average from the last two weeks. So close but I think I’ll get it next week. All algs back into memory and I got a 15.31 PB2 single!
Kibiminx: Sub 30 Ao5 + Experiment with blocks in slow solves || 29.90 Ao5 was my best average for kibiminx. I can definitely get faster than this so I’ll keep messing around with blocks.
Progress:
5x5:
Sub 1:45 Ao5 | DIdn't practice much 5x5 besides untimed solves.
4x4: Sub 50 Ao5 | Did ~25 solves but the lookahead wasn't there. Got mid 50 averages.
Sq1: Sub 20 Ao5 | 24.69 Best Ao5. I did a bunch of grinding but I guess it will take some more time.

Honestly there should be a sub-forum or something else for personal progress threads because there are so many...
@pjk we need a quest sub forum and ability to filter what sub forums you want to see, quick!
We don't need a sub forum for personal progress/quest threads.
Instead of doing a step in the completely wrong direction we should actually go further and get rid of all of those unoriginal and lame progress/quest threads with unambitious/slow goals nobody cares about which were only created to have one and because it is "in" on the forums nowadays.

I see your point in that people might just make one because everyone else is doing it/just to have one, but I would have to disagree on one thing. Yes, it might be boring for other people but that’s not the point. Personal progress threads are made for the creator of the thread, not necessarily for other people. So it would be a good point to say that it doesn’t contribute to the forums much, which is why we could put all of them in a sub-forum that nobody even has to see.

And if you don’t like them you can choose to not see them if this was implemented. Regardless, I do feel there are a certain few progress threads that I feel are rip offs, or not inventive at all.

Got 5x5 PB Ao5 and single! (Updated OG post) I was kind of at a roadblock in my progress and what helped me get past that was to (1) watch some example solves (2) do a ton of untimed solves and work on steps separately. It usually happens like this to me (especially on big cubes) where I improve a ton in a short amount of time. So I would suggest learning new stuff and getting rid of bad habits if you hit a wall in your improvement.

Updated. More 5x5 PBs this week including a 1:34.25 single, which was part of my C@H 1.1 avg! As an update on 3x3, I have a couple more CMLLs to learn and probably at least a week or two to get everything in my muscle memory. My 3bld progress has stagnated a little and I don't know what to work on next other than doing more solves to be more consistent (sub 3:00). I use M2/OP and my bld splits are ~1:35 for memo and ~1:15 for execution on an average solve. If anyone has an idea as to what I should work on next, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

We don't need a sub forum for personal progress/quest threads.
Instead of doing a step in the completely wrong direction we should actually go further and get rid of all of those unoriginal and lame progress/quest threads with unambitious/slow goals nobody cares about which were only created to have one and because it is "in" on the forums nowadays.
I kind of agree with this. Some goals don't really add anything to the forum. There are plenty of ways that you could keep track of goals besides cluttering a forum. That being said, I am all for making a sub forum focused on cubing goals because it would keep the forum from being a mess and it would give a place for people to post their individual goals as well as looking at other's progress.

Three megaminx PB singles today (almost back to back.) 1:22.62, 1:19.33, 1:17.70. Practiced just F2L for a couple sessions and it was totally worth it. I can now plan first pair in inspection which is very important.

I also practiced skewb a lot using this practice technique, it helped me improve first layer efficiency a ton so I felt like sharing it:

Alright this is a semi-major update about where I'm at with my events/improvement. First off, I have been updating the OG post regularly but not bumping the thread each week because I don't think it's necessary (at least for me). The current week is week 9 and I've made decent progress in most of my events.

Clock! I got the ShengShou recently and my goal is sub 14 global average and a sub 10 Ao5. (by the end of the year) The rest of this month I will be doing mostly clock and we'll see how much I can progress. Along with clock as a new event I'm thinking about getting into OH sometime soon when I have a better 3x3 foundation or avg ~13-14. Any other opinions on when to start?

An update on 5x5/4x4: I won't be focusing on these events as much because I don't see myself being able to get even semi-fast. (My cfop times are not reliable at all (13-20)) Don't know if that reasoning makes sense but I'd rather focus more time on the events that I enjoy more. I'm honestly not very interested in these events. I'll be doing these for fun (Even though all events are fun imo) of course but probably just not trying to actively improve.

Finally, my goals for this week:
1. 3x3:
Sub 14 Ao12
2. Clock: Do at least 100 solves
3. Skewb: Do at least 100 solves and sub 5 Ao12

Imo you should bump the thread because I want to see your progress, but it's gets covered by the other posts.
Sort of like @Nmile7300
He bumps his thread saying week 8 is out, and I can see it because it is at the top. Also, if you're watching the thread, it doesn't give a notif.

Updated goals for 5x5/4x4 and added clock goals.

Progress for last week:
1. 3x3: Sub 14 Ao12 | Best Ao12 was 13.85! Also got a nice 10.94 single.
2. Clock: Do 100 solves | 67 solves this week.
3. Skewb: Do 100 solves | Exactly 100 solves.

Goals for next week:
1. 3x3: Sub 8.5 mean for only blocks + work on getting SB cases down.
2. Sq1: Sub 25 Ao12 + do at least 100 solves
3. Megaminx: Sub 1:20 Ao12
