(Week = 3/3)
2. Post every single marked hand for the week somewhere and prove to yourself you did it! - Done! Got another cbet document if anyone will look at it please!? (Week = 18/18)
3. Check a preflop range versus another player every time your trigger cue happens. Measure YES or NO and keep running total. Aim for 100% completion. - Checked some more BTN v CO, loads to talk on this it seems! (Week = 4/4)
4. Post a "hand of the day" into blog. - Posted K9o hand. (Week = 3/3)

Weekly Progress Update 28.07.2014
Graph for week
Results For Short Term Goals Week Commencing 28th July 2014
1. At the start of every session make a post-it note of two things to focus on each session. One to be strategy (such as 3betting/cbetting etc) and one to be work related (such as mark hands/make notes etc). Aim for 100% of making the post-it! - Definitely good to do this just to remind me of something I am working on and help me to focus. (Week = 5/5)
2. Post every single marked hand for the week somewhere and prove to yourself you did it! - Done well on this, having this goal seemed to make me do it 100%! (Week = 21/21)
3. Check a preflop range versus another player every time your trigger cue happens. Measure YES or NO and keep running total. Aim for 100% completion. - Did this every time this week, new trigger was better. (Week = 5/5)
4. Post a "hand of the day" into blog. - Done every (playing) day. (Week = 4/4)
5. Play 8 hours. - Played 5 hours 29 mins. 2 hours 31 mins behind. Massive fail but can't get too down on this, main part of work on houses is completed (still got tonnes to do but not panicking now!)

Just failed on hours goal which was kind of expected. The new goals worked really well so will almost certainly keep it the same this week.
Nice upswing at the beginning of the week and ended with an awful session!

Obviously my full NL50 graph is awful as previous staker jammed me up there too early (I don't regret that btw, there's nothing like getting your butt whipped for getting you to learn faster!).
But....
