Whether your resolution falls into the healthy lifestyle camp (think: lose weight, cut out sugar, quit smoking), the career + money camp (think: switch jobs, pay off credit cards, save for you child's college), the self-betterment camp (think: volunteer, learn a new language, plan a trip), or the relationship camp (think: have a recurring monthly date with a friend, call your grandma every week, send a sweet text daily to your spouse), one thing all these resolutions have in common is they all have a much better chance of being successful if you hold yourself accountable. Below we've rounded up five simple ways to do this.
