Here's a useful link if you're trying to discipline yourself to get some work done, get fit - or anything else you know would be good for you!  (Never mind New Year's Resolutions - sure you can have Second Quarter of the New Year's Resolutions too!)

Hogmanay: New Year and those New Year's Resolutions

Whittaker is looking for some innovative and feasible resolutions.  Not the 'I'll keep the place tidy and do my ironing daily' kind, please note!

1. Here's a good one to kick off with: Write every day.  Especially important if you've got a dissertation, project, thesis or book to get on with.  Or if you're a composer.  Lindsey Metcalf found this blogpost, Ten Ways to Write Every Day, by an American professor and author, Tanya Maria Golash-Boza.
2. Start exercising regularly.  Investigate the local authority's facilities, eg Glasgow Life, if your college doesn't have a gym.  (Beware: Googling 'start an exercise regime' isn't the most effective way to start - unless you're interested in media reports of celebrity workouts!)
