If anyone has done anything similar let me know. i'm intrigued to see how people keep record of their progress.

I'd devote more time to training, personally. After long playing sessions against friends, I'd always pick a few areas of my game that I wasn't satisfied with and work on those. What's good is that you seem to be playing almost every single day and I'm terrible at that. I'm more of a binge player, training for hours straight, maybe 2 days in a row, but otoh I then wouldn't touch the game in a while after that.

Hey bonapartez. the reason i play more is because my friend always wants to come over to play. So why not yknow?

In terms of practicing more. I would agree. I usually schedule my training like this.

Practice 15 minutes Dash Dancing Consistently and mixing up the rhythm at which I DD.
Practice 30 minutes Shffl'ing aerials against 3 lvl 1 ice climbers on yoshi's
Practice 15 minutes Waveshining

Thats basically what im gonna be doing today at least.

I always structurize the way im gonna practice so that I know I don't have to bore myself to death for hours on end. Sure it might go aster that way but i've got all the time in the world.

I also agree on your point to notice what youre doing wrong. My friend Keir would beat me all the time as sheik and Irealized its cuz my approaches were unsafe and i would get shield-grabbed way too much. SO I went into training and tried to time my nair so that it would come out later and then waveshine or shinegrab. (still hard for me to do.)
