How to Make a New Year's Resolution Tracking Notebook
Making resolutions is the easy part. Sticking to them is the hard part (see Resource link below for sad statistics). Setting up a New Year's Resolution tracking notebook is one way to keep yourself organized, prevent yourself from forgetting resolutions and write about the progress you have made.

Find a notebook as large or as small as you feel comfortable working with. Avoid choosing one that is too formal or decorative, or else you may be too worried about messing it up. Choosing one that has too many pages to fill (like a 5-subject notebook, for example) may become too daunting to use, so avoid that as well.

Write the resolutions from your list on each corresponding flagged off section of the notebook and then highlight it. Write one or two paragraphs (or sentences, whatever you feel comfortable with) about how you intend to keep this resolution. Use the rest of the pages in the sections to write about your thoughts, challenges, solutions and resources you might need for each resolution.

Tips & Warnings
Choose a notebook small enough to carry with you wherever you go with ease. Choose a notebook that is sturdy enough to last throughout the year. Share your resolutions with others so they can help you or offer support whenever needed.
Avoid using felt tip pens or markers so they don't bleed through the pages. Use archival adhesives when decorating the notebook so it doesn't become damaged throughout the year. Don't work in a notebook that is too large or the process of trying to fill it will become too frustrating.
