Requirements

I made a list of all the requirements that I could think of today.  Then I marked each one with 4 possible values:  Blank, Know, Comfortable, Confident. 

Blank means I don't know it and need to learn it.

Know means I know it but I'm not good at it (have to go slow, think about the next move, etc)

Comfortable means that I know it but I still might turn the wrong way, or use the wrong hand/foot/stance/etc, and have to correct myself.

Confident means I am confident I can do it mistake free.  While we all still make mistakes, this is about how I feel in my knowledge. 

I went through everything today as I practiced and made my marks.  This has given me a very good base on understanding not just what I need to work on, but how much I might need to work on a particular thing.
