Here's an idea: Study a tactic a day. Tim Brennan and I created a 365 day calendar based on our poplular book Tactics Time. You've seen those types of daily calendars, they have the page a day tear outs, often with Dilbert cartoons or Inspiriational quotes. You tear the page out for a new day. With a chess puzzle on your office desk you might force yourself into working a puzzle a day.

So far the idea has been a big hit. We've sold calendars in the United States, Russia, Israel, Italy, the Uk and even down under in Australia.

In fact, it caught on so well we are almost sold out, but you can still order one at Tactics Time Chess Calendars.
