Are you a full time coach or do you just coach for fun?
To not be the worst chess player in the history of forever. To not find a way to get myself scholar’s mated on move 3. To not manage to somehow hang 3 knights per game! Arrrrgh!!

I would like to be a full time coach, but right now I'm more like a full-time wasting-my-time-with-writing-blogs-because-everybodys-tells-me-they-have-no-money coach.

I would like to develop a method for study that allows me to circumvent having no ability to focus and no ability to retain. I'm tired of learning through osmosis.

Reach 2000 in blitz rapid and classical, and maintaining that rating for atleast a week or 2. Got it in rapid and extremely close in classical, but blitz is a far way off.
I want to play at otb fide tournament but no budget playing abroad and no chess tournament in my place

1900 rapid, and stabilize at 2000+ classical (currently not very stable). Also maybe 1500 rapid in chessdotcom but I don't play there often
Play well in my most important events. Spend less time online. Make my correspondence rating provisional again. Use the saved time effectively. Think less about my online ratings and simply enjoy chess. Spend less time on various forums and more on the real life. Sounds pretty ambitious, doesn't it?
