It's no secret that it's easy to make New Year's resolutions, but hard to keep them. Bloggers offer memory hacks and other tips to stick to your resolutions this year. The Happiness Project offers five tips for planning effective New Year's resolutions, for example: "Ask: 'Am I a "yes" resolver or a "no" resolver?" Some people resent negative resolutions. They dislike hearing 'don't' or 'stop' or adding to their list of chores. If this describes you, try to find positive resolutions." Unclutterer has ideas on brainstorming resolutions and will be posting about "how to create and organize a schedule for achieving your difficult goals" in the coming weeks.
