Happy New Year! 

 

How are you doing on keeping up with those New Year’s Resolutions?  I am the absolute worst and usually find myself in a scramble at the end of the year trying to reach my year’s goal.  Yes, I am so bad that I have one goal.  Ironically it involves not procrastinating so much. 

 

They say that the best way to keep a resolution from being broken (besides not making one) is to work as a team, where you’ll get constant support and a push back up if you start to slip.

 

Here are some of the top New Year’s resolutions and resources from iVillage to help you reach your goal!

 

Share your goals for this year - Resolutions 2006

 

Losing weight - Weight Loss board

 

Making time for ME - Time-Out for Me board

 

Giving more to others - Volunteering board

 

Saving more money - Family Finances

 

Kick the smoking habit - Kick Butt Support board

 

Get organized - Get Organized

 

Stop procrastinating - Time Management – How to End Procrastination

 

Try challenging your members to find helpful articles/boards on iVillage that will help them keep their resolution.

Diet & Fitness Resolutions
Year after year, January 1 finds most of us vowing to stick to our diets - for real this year - or promising to hit the gym and get rid of those 10-plus pounds for good.
