I am going to be playing mainly MTT's or SNG's above 90 players which I guess is basically an MTT anyway 
I am going to spread that roll across several networks and playing the games I feel are very soft. Which stakes I can play depends on my bankroll management which I am just about to post here! Thanks again bro!

Step 2 Details!!
I wanted to make this post just to make clear my intentions for the next week or so until I get a new PC.
Plan
Unfortunately this Laptop I am currently using begins overheating once I get a mass of tables from different Poker sites. It can handle as many as I want for Stars but once start throwing in some GG Tables along with my HUD it starts to get hot. This is why I have made the decision to purchase a new PC.
I am investing around $150 from the bankroll into this PC. I have a friend who is selling me a PC, keyboard, mouse and dual screen monitors all for $150 which is a bargain so I cant see why it wouldn't be a solid investment Poker wise. I know it takes a slight step back bankroll wise but as I managed to boost the bankroll up so quickly with that casino win, I think its a decision well justified.
I will be withdrawing the $150 for the PC on the 28th of this month (MAY 2020) and will update the challenge accordingly with the reflected bankroll. Hopefully I can make this amount or more between now and then to actually pay for this investment! Fingers crossed!
So I will call this time period between now and the 28th, 'STEP 2' as I am limited in how I can grind and want to stick to a routine which I will be changing once this new PC is setup. That new changed routine will then be STEP 3 and I will make a fresh plan here accordingly.
Daily Poker Routine
Step 2 will be to 12 table all GGPoker MTT's I am rolled for and the T$ builders they do as well. If anyone could give me any feedback on whether these T$ builder's are good value please let me know but I have decided to add them as they are rake free and I will always be playing games on GGPoker so winning T$ would be almost the same as winning real money seen as I will be reinvesting that money either way.
I will be adding the following with my 12 table mixture:
$1 180 Normal & Hyper and $1 90 Player Turbo
$1.50 90 Player Knockout
$1.50 45 Player Turbo (4 AT ALL TIMES)
The plan is to keep 12 tables open consistently. If a table drops then I will open whichever one is quickest to open out of those MTT SNG's mentioned. I will keep a goal of having 4, $1.50 45 player turbo's going at all times as I want to get a bit more volume in on these as you guys had suggested hopefully should smooth my runs out a little. The other games are just high value and soft games but I do understand the variance will be high and am prepared for it.
The updates on this challenge will of course change slightly. Rather than having multiple sessions it now changes to one big session with a larger amount of games and a performance number that reflects the day as a whole. I will also try my best to explain any deep runs and how I have played as a whole.
Please let me know your guys thoughts on this 12 tabling routine as I welcome any tips. The tips have been great so far and have helped ALOT!
Conclusion
So my second step of the challenge (STEP 2) will be to achieve the following:
1. Clear as much of the $600 GGPoker bonus as possible.
2. 12 Table for as many hours each day as possible.
3. Get into the steady swing of grinding with this stake increase.
4. Have a performance of 10 for as many sessions as possible, hopefully on ALL sessions.
5. Make as much profit as possible before 28/05/2020 where we start Step 3 and change to PC.
Each game day I will update the challenge on how I have made progress with each of these FIVE points.
Training
I don't update you guys with how much studying I do as I simply do too much of it! I literally watch an hour of video content before I start playing on any given day and I also spend an hour each day going through my own hand histories and playing around with calculation software to see if I am taking the right lines, making any mistakes and am not missing out on any spots.
The content I watch can be anything from final table replays on stars, videos on training sites eg 'runitonce', or just pro's playing out final tables on twitch. I feel this has helped me dramatically as I have alot of different insights on many different players strategies and I always try to pick players that are crushing at the moment like getting to major final tables. Who else would you want to learn from!
I highly recommend anyone in a similar position as me to take studying as serious as I am. I wouldn't have anywhere near the ROI I currently am achieving if I did not put the work in away from the tables!

Update for yesterday's games
So yesterday I finally got to get a session in at a higher stake for the first time in the challenge!
GGPoker have finally pulled their finger out and sorted my account out. I have now deposited $300 to make full use of the 200% bonus on offer so one of my main goals now will be to pump in some decent volume in order to clear this bonus and hopefully make a nice profit along the way.
Today I am at a family members house making most of this beautiful sunshine here in the UK while it lasts and before it turns into the consistent cold, grey, wet, muggy UK weather that we all complain about! I will be getting a few games in a bit later when I get home.

How many people (including me) haven't reached their maximum because of poker variance and wrong bankroll management.
