Well, it is an impressive list. (Presumably inspired by the "it is easy to become a tygem 8 dan" (but just don't waste time) post on the indonesian page.) I am not sure whether this works for all of us, while I want to do more tsumego my list is slightly more timid.
1. Do all those tsumego I have not done yet, which my teacher assigned to me. (Several dozen)
2. Finish 1001 Life and Death Problems (60 to go) and then go over it again later.
3. While waiting for a game, solve problems on WBaduk. (I am playing as 3 dan there, but have a hard enough time with the 2-5 kyu problems.)
4. Look more often at the Hitachi problems.
5. If I have too much spare time, buy a new tsumego book.
I don't want to set up myself for defeat, and I fear a too ambitious study plan is exactly that.
But most of all, I am pretty much tired from learning a not too easy language (which I do way more passionately than tsumego) to fit tsumego solving in my schedule. I even tried to mix vocabulary and tsumego flash cards at one time, but stopped that soon, I don't want to memorize tsumego after all
