I forgot that I had to study chess...
Oh well, my Closed Sicilian book's coming soon.
what are your goals and how do you plan to carry them out this year?

You don’t have to study to get better. But a hundred years of experience or more are in several books or DVD’s.

For each person it is different
I've heard a lot of phrase for the book "How to reassess your chess" by Jeremy Silman
May be worth a read
Every game mode above 1700. My plan is to improve my focus and not blunder as much as I increase my time controls. My game is good enough to get to 1700 without any further study. I just need to spend more than 0.2 seconds making a move.
Good luck!
My goal is to hit 2000 blitz rating. I keep fluctuating between 1800 and 1950. Can never seem to break that barrier.

I think you mean praise. Yes, it's a good book. I own the 4th edition and have looked through it (it's a BIG book). I'd get more out of it, if I really spent more time with it.
More about the book (if you have the time to listen!):

I believe in process goals rather than outcome goals:
My goal is to play chess, most days, for the rest of my life, and get as strong as possible along the way. To achieve this, I plan to play slow games as often as possible (daily, hopefully), make a study routine that includes mostly tactics, endgames, studying masters games (going through Zurich 1953 atm), and of course analyzing my own games. There is also limited opening stuff I want to read, eventually.
I also have a goal of taking little weekend road trips to big(ish) tournaments a few times a year, for the chess and all but also just to get away and hang out in a hotel for a weekend. I plan to bring some nice whiskey along, to relax after the event.

the problem is u need 2000 FIDE for a title (minimum, even if you win it from a youth competition), or 2300+ CFC rating (my national rating) for NM ._.

I'm in the US and haven't really bothered to see what the requirements are for a NM title. I think it's 2200 USCF but idk

My current goal is to become a WGM (I have one norm). I look forward to achieve my goals with courses prepared by Grandmasters in ChessMood https://chessmood.com/
How will I get to this rating?
My plan is to study tactics (1001 winning chess combinations..), several times a day, study Silman’s endgame course, and when I have extra time I study the grunfeld and Sicilian Kan openings.
My goal for studying is usually 10-15 minutes a session. Endgames and openings tend to take around 15-30 minutes a session.
What are your goals and how do you plan to achieve them?
