Good luck!
Thank you for the welcome!
Week 1 Update:
Daily: 559 (+0) - I've been playing one game, so there hasn't been a change in my ranking, but I am winning the game I'm playing by quite a margin.
Blitz: 379 (+52) - I've won 3 out of 4 games played online this week, but my rating has gone up by so much because I've been playing a lot more games with friends outside of the study plan. I probably won't gain as much rating in the next week since my opponesnts will be harder, but I hope to get to 400 by next week.
Rapid: 695 (+10) - I've won 3 out of 5 games played this week and an important take away was to take my time when playing these games. I rushed too much because I'm used to playing blitz, but playing 15|5 games gives you lots of time to think, and I need to fully utilize that. Another takeaway is to look at the whole board and not get tunnel vision on one plan.
Puzzles: 1354 (+558) - I did WAY more than the 5 puzzles per day because it was kind of addicting. I really started to take the puzzles very slowly and analyze the position well. I used to just make a move as quickly as possible, so my rating was very low, and I've gotten to a rating where the puzzles are quite hard for me. I don't expect to gain this much next week, but I will try to get to at least 1400.
I'm pretty happy with my results in the first week, I'll update again next week!

That is an awesome improvement on your puzzles! I thin it will really pay off in your rapid games.
