I agree with David.

Regarding learning Cube Reference Positions and ref. pos's you develop on your own, I recommend concentrating on positions that are close the lines (i.e. close to the doubling point and close to the take/pass point).

For matchplay, it's important to know the typical cGWC and gammon prices for positions. So in addition, use CRP to estimate those for similar types of games. For example, gammon prices in blitzes and cubeless game winning chances in holding games of different pipcount deficits.

I think it might take you more than 1-2 hrs/day to accomplish everything on your list, but you can adjust your goals as you proceed.

Finally, you didn't mention Woolsey's How to Play Tournament Backgammon. Maybe you've already absorbed that book, but if not I'd put it at the top of your to-do list.
