90 Challenge - Breakdown

My friend Mark has posted a 90-day challenge on his blog: Mark's 90 day challenge 

 I've got a plan for mine here: The 90 day challenge

So it's time to break mine down into measurable, achievable steps:
  • Improve poker game to be profitable 2 limits higher than I currently am
    •  Further defined
      • I am currently playing $0.50/$1.00.  
      • In order to achieve my goal I have to move through $1/$2 to $2/$4.
      • Moving up is a function of bankroll, which is a function of profitability.
      • I have decided that I will require 500BB to move up, and 300BB to keep playing (otherwise I will move down).
      • My bankroll is currently around $470 (don't have exact numbers here at work).
      • I require $1,000 to move to $1/$2
      • I require $2,000 to move to $2/$4
    • Step goals:
      • Playing $0.50/$1.00: reach $1,000 by May 1 and move up to $1/$2
      • Playing $1/$2: reach $2,000 by June 15
      • Have 1000 hands of $2/$4 with a net profit (no matter how small) by June 30
  • Complete 2 more CLEPs I don't need to study for, 1 I need a little study for
    •  Further defined
      • This one I modified a bit to fit in with budget constraints.
    • Step goals
      • April
        • Pass the Freshman College Composition CLEP
        • Find appropriate study materials for College Mathematics CLEP
      • May

      • June
        • Pass the College Mathematics CLEP
  • Completely clear enclosed patio of EVERYTHING that doesn't belong there
    • Further defined
      • This is is a combination of things that need to go to xDH, things that need to be thrown away, things that need to be donated/given away, things that need to be put away, things that need to be cleaned.  It's a 10' x 20' junk pile right now.
