I recommend starting with one task and adding to it as the year goes on. Learning the man pages could potentially make you a better programmer without reading K&R. Set K&R aside until February and achieve your first goal. It's important to change one behavior at a time and expect and plan for failure. Shoot for 5-6 days a week with 1 day review, or 3 with 2 days review, and just do what you feel with the extra day. Review or move forward.
Good luck. New Years Resolutions are great, stay motivated.
Thanks for the advice. I've already gone through K&R, but I just got the C Answer Book in the mail a couple months back and wanted to go through all the exercises again. I'll just have to really pace myself and not take in more information than I can handle in a single day.
