Goals for a semi-newb

I'm asking for a friend.

Let's say you're approx 1000 Daily and 600 Rapid and you've hitting 7 months of play/practice but still pretty much suk at it. This friend still doesn't have a goal so does following seem reasonable outline to help them land at 1500 Daily and 1000 Rapid by January 1st?

1. Puzzles twice daily, 30 minutes each 1 hour/day
2. Opening principles (solidifying their chosen few openings and learning difference between Openings and 'opening principles.' 1 hour/day
3. Play bots at slightly-stronger level (makes no sense since I have two levels). Suggest 1200-1500 level bots. 1 hour/day equal to 2 games ?
4. Endgame study 1 hour/day
5. Analyze game of top player 3 hours/day
6. Play Daily game and go SLOW and study each move 2 hours/day

My friend only plays for fun but has deep desire to understand far deeper this incredible game. They have 10-12 hours a day in which to devote and they aren't afraid of hard work. I told them that ratings don't matter but it IS an indication of growth to a certain degree otherwise it's difficult to know if the techniques employed are viable.

They will not play faster than Rapid 45, I think. Is the balance off that you can see or are there any other suggestions or goals we're missing? Thank you for all input (whether it pleases my friend or not). :-)

ADDED: Oh and play just for pure fun at least 2 hours a day.

ADDED AGAIN: We could cut out the last 'fun part' since ALL of it IS fun!

that's pretty heavy

Thank you for responding Kings4Charity. :-) Is that 'heavy' in a good way or a bad way, please?

neither

just a lot of chess

Those are loads and loads of hours, David?

Yes indeed, Nathaniel ... and my friend said "Tell them they all are just jealous." I've got to agree! Thank you for helping us get on track! :-)
