try to become an A-class player. going to try to do tactics until Im blue in the face, and then do some more. decided to change my opening repertoire yesterday.. tough decision as I know my current one is 100% good, its just the growth isnt there with it.
hoping to read a lot of chess books and maybe do 2 tournaments or so when my 3d chess stamina improves

thankyou Ajuin my friend but that's without knowing anything about chess really, just tactics, nothing more, and as you can see i have made no progress since. How often do we get in positions and think, my goodness how did i get here? what is more, how do i deal with this position? what are the elements that are evading me seeing this position clearly? thus the more chess i have played the more i have realised that i actually know very little.

agreed. everyone is this way.. you go play a friend how might be 800 and never play, and you ask him if he is good.. they will say "yes" they will ask the same question and in reply I say "I am terrible at every phase of the game"

Yes,it's a chess paradox,the more you learn the more you realise you really know nothing yet.

To be a regular top ten at chesstempo standard.
reach a respectable chesstempo blitz rating.
learn my new opening repertoire to the point that I'm not clueless anymore.
get to 2300 on chess com.
start having games without a ?.
become a top quality chess blogger.

do these without having to give up everything else in my life, which is probably the most difficult of them all.

it's rather hard to acheive those goals while all your opponents are using fritz.
