To finish atleast the initial draft of my book by April. I took off the semester from school to focus on it. I have wrote an introduction but have spent the last two months doing a lot of research. I bought a tablet for Christmas and have loaded it up with scholarly articles.
New Year's resolutions are stupid. If you want to accomplish something, don't wait until Jan. 1. Start the process as soon as that idea/ goal festers in your mind.
Besides, people who have resolutions more than likely have a history of being undisciplined and as a result, will struggle in committing to any significant lifestyle change.
