: Personal Goals / Milestones for 2020

I started back up on PG near the end of December, so I thought I'd give myself a checklist of things to work through in 2020.
✅ Double-check any prime
⬜ Discover any prime
⬜ Discover a T5K prime
⬜ Discover a mega prime
⬜ Discover a prime in 3 different subprojects
✅ Discover any AP
⬜ Discover an AP23+
✅ All bronze active subproject badges
⬜ All silver active subproject badges
⬜ Any Turquoise badge
⬜ Any Jade badge
⬜ Any Sapphire badge
I'm currently gearing my subproject focus towards prime likelihood and T5K (SGS/PPSE/GFN-16), so hopefully I'll be able to check those off soon
I'd be interested to know what sorts of personal goals other folks have for 2020!

Welcome back to PG and welcome to the team!
SGS doesn't qualify for the T5K list. PPSE, GFN16, and anything larger do qualify.
My goal is to get as many Jade badges as possible this year. Anything else that happens is a bonus.

My Primes
Badge Score: 4*2 + 6*2 + 7*1 + 8*11 + 9*1 + 11*3 + 12*1 = 169

Welcome!
My goal is also to chase after Jade (got nearly all turqs in bag) & just flow along without too much stress, interspersed with the challenges boosting projects 'out of sequence'. AP & GFN both to 200M to match PSA (assuming can do AP before the likelihood of it shutting down).
Good luck with your goals & keep us posted. | |

Thanks, all!

Right you are! I was running SGS for a while because I thought that, as it was shorter, it'd be quicker to turn up a prime. But I recently saw that PPSE is fairly equivalent (slightly more primes, slightly slower tasks) plus qualifies for T5K, so I'm just finishing up my gold SGS badge then switching over.

My goal, which I probably won't hit in 2020 but maybe 2021, is three badges of each color, Emerald down through Ruby. Have two of each color (all) now so quite a ways to go for those top ones! | |

My goals aren't very complicated: get all badges up to Ruby, and find a mega prime. Probably not possible in just one year, but hey, you can dream!
I'm also trying to get a few of my peers interested in prime finding, though it's been mostly futile. I can't tell if I haven't told them enough, or if they think I'm too much of a nerd to listen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | |

My personal goal is to see how far up the leader board I can get for 321 SV before June of 2022 (which at the moment is the estimated completion date).
From rough calculations it seems like I will get the Double Bronze in around 100 days, and then Double Silver 100 days from that, so it stands to reason that I might be able to get at least Double Gold before 321 SV ends. | |

Progress update:
✅ Double-check any prime
☑️ Discover any prime
☑️ Discover a T5K prime
⬜ Discover a mega prime
⬜ Discover a prime in 3 different subprojects
✅ Discover any AP
⬜ Discover an AP23+
✅ All bronze active subproject badges
⬜ All silver active subproject badges
☑️ Any Turquoise badge
⬜ Any Jade badge
⬜ Any Sapphire badge
It's a little sad that I didn't it during TdP but I picked up a PPSE a few days ago to check off two boxes. I also found an SGS shortly after that, so I'm at 2/3 subprojects. Focus is now on PPS Mega and GFN-17 Mega; a find in either of those will check off my remaining prime goals, though I imagine that might be a bit of a wait!
For badges I've hit a few turquoise since my OP, and am ~30 days away from Jade in GFN. I have my slower GPU crunching PPS-SV, which may overtake GFN by the time I'm looking at Sapphire. I've also got a lil' 2-core laptop chipping away at all of my bronze subprojects to start rounding out my silver collection.
