£500 + 3 months = ???

Greetings All.
For not the first time, my poker game has reached a state of near paralysis. It's the usual combination of factors - a lack of focus, motivation and clear goals, plus some impressive levels of procrastination (Youtube and Wikipedia really need a self-exclusion button if you ask me!). So, given that it has helped in the past, it's time for another Duesenberg blog-challenge-diary-type-thing.
As the title suggests, I'm going to be starting with £500 in my account and seeing where I can get to over the next three months - I'm hoping I'll be able to run this up a bit and ultimately take a few shots in games that would usually be a little out of my comfort zone (I've always regularly withdrawn any winnings in the past).
I'll be playing both MTT's and cash games but I won't be venturing onto the Spin Up tables or playing any satellite tournaments (regular MTT's already provide more than enough short-stack poker action for my liking!)
I'm starting with a lower amount than I would usually keep in my Sky account in the hope that the frustration of not initially being able to jump into things like the nightly Main Event whenever I fancy will give me an early jolt to get my grind on. In terms of BRM, I'll be looking at a minimum requirement of 30 buy-ins for any cash games (with the exception of 20nl) and 50 buy-ins for any MTT's (although maybe less for £33 Main's and 'special' shots).
I'll be hoping to achieve at least some of the following goals over the next 3 months:
1. Actually play some poker.
2. Not go broke and reload.
3. Reach priority status in a least one of the three months
4. Take my first few shots at £55 buy-in tournaments (reasonable-ish BRM permitting)
5. Buy-in direct to a regular Sunday Major (Yolo and all that!)
I can't promise it'll be thrilling reading but I'll be keeping a very honest account of how things go in the hope that some public accountability might help me pull my finger out and get on with it. The 3 month period will end on October 1st which just so happens to be my birthday, so hopefully I'll be ahead enough to treat myself to an extra swanky new pair of slippers come the end of all this.
Any questions, fire away
Current Balance: £500

GL with this Guitar Bloke.
At the same time, the prospect of having to do that makes me extra-keen to hit the ground running, so it's a useful added point of motivation (I may also just take some BRM liberties come stream time
I am starting a new challenge for pretty much the exact same reasons as you, so I will be following this with interest.
Good luck at the tables
Extra swanky new slippers, eh? Some people know how to live ...
Best of luck mate.
Best of luck.
Thanks to you all for the messages of support so far. The challenge officially begins at midnight so I might jump on for a late night sesh to get the ball rolling

How often you planning on doing updates?
Any cash shots or just MTT ones?
