New training regime for 2015

Well, my grade is sure to go down again this January.  I have not been practising quite as much lately and will turn over a new leaf this year!!  My chess tempo tactics rating is currently just over 1600, but I am looking to improve this by doing at least 25 chess tactics problems per day.  I will lay off the blitz  for a while .... and get some earlier nights.  Have been playing blitz until 3am but this is damaging my chess ...  For improved strategy I intend to go through Chess Strategy for Club Players - Herman Grooten.  I must furthermore, concentrate on my notes from the International Chessmasters School.
