Eat healthier meals and snacks. Exercise 60-minutes every day. Pay an extra $150 to our credit cards each month.<\/p>\n<p>These are all pretty typical resolutions for ways to improve your life, but that can also be the problem. For instance, eating healthier meals and snacks takes a lot of effort. From shopping and learning how to interpret nutrition labels, to preparing, cooking, and even storing ready-made items, if your plan doesn\u2019t include all of the steps it takes to allow yourself to achieve success, you\u2019ll quickly get discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>To exercise 60-minutes each day might even require your partner\u2019s commitment to your goal so that household obligations or childcare duties can be rearranged to accommodate the minimum 7 hours each week that you\u2019d need to spend on making your resolution a reality. Adjustments can of course be made, but if you don\u2019t plan them in right from the start, you might unfairly beat yourself up for falling short of your goal.<\/p>\n<p>If your goal is to pay extra money to your credit cards, where will the money come from? Will you spend less, work more, or do a bit of each? All three options require planning, and if you have a partner, it\u2019s wise to outline your budget make your plans together.<\/p>\n<p>Changing Resolutions to Debt-Free Solutions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/nomoredebts.org\/blog\/manage-money-better\/4-tips-to-change-new-years-resolutions-into-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tip 3: Learn How to Create a Better \u2018To Do\u2019 List When we make resolutions, we tend to resolve to do certain things.
