2017 is finally here, and by now you probably have a few resolutions you want to implement for the year. But no matter how difficult or easy something seems, life happens and habits die hard. With vague resolutions like “get healthy” or “make a big career step,” it’s hard to figure out where to start and it’s easy to get discouraged very quickly. Because of this, it’s important to make concrete resolutions, and figure out the how and when before you buy that year-long gym membership. So rather than go hard and give up after the first week, make a realistic plan with room for slip-ups while the year is still young. Everyone knows what methods work best for their individual personalties, but here are 50 ideas to get you started on making 2017 a year of progress!
