Setting New Year's Resolutions? Keep It Simple, Choose Only One Resolution
Organizing and Time Management Expert Julie Morgenstern and

FranklinCovey Offer 10 Tips to Achieve Your Resolutions

SALT LAKE CITY Every year thousands of people set New Year's resolutions
as they reflect on their lives and ponder whether or not they are fulfilling their goals and
turning their dreams into accomplishments. Whether their resolution is to get in shape, get
out of debt, stop smoking, or spend more time with family, people make long lists of things
they resolve to do or not to do.

"Picture the heap of resolutions everyone makes each year, only to abandon them by February,"
said Julie Morgenstern, organizing and time management expert. "In our hearts, we know how
liberating and satisfying it would feel to achieve those resolutions or goals, but we set
too many with no plan for achieving them, so we don't accomplish anything and we are left
with feelings of frustration and guilt."

The best-selling author of Making Work Work, Organizing from the Inside Out, Time Management
from the Inside Out and Never Check E-mail in the Morning, Morgenstern is also a contributor to O,
The Oprah Magazine and has been interviewed by The Today Show, Good Morning America, and The
New York Times.
"If you are passionately committed to focusing on a resolution that aligns with your values,
you create a plan to make the time necessary to achieve it, and as you break the goal down
into tasks with deadlines, you are much more likely to be successful than just making a long
list of lofty resolutions," said Morgenstern.
Morgenstern recently partnered with FranklinCovey(R) (NYSE:FC) to design and launch her first
exclusive organizing system and collection, Time Management Your Way. The new product line is
based on her own methodology, which she has taught clients for 17 years, and is also closely
aligned with the principles FranklinCovey teaches regarding time management, organization,
productivity, and goal achievement.
Morgenstern and FranklinCovey offer the following tips for making and keeping resolutions in 2007:
10 Tips for Achieving New Year's Resolutions from Julie Morgenstern and FranklinCovey

1. Keep it Simple by Choosing Only One Resolution
Don't be overambitious with a resolutions list that is overwhelming and difficult to achieve.
Keep it simple by choosing one thing you are passionate about, which if achieved would give you
a sense of great accomplishment. If you're inspired to have more than one resolution,
divide your life into five areas: work, family, community, financial, and self.
Limit yourself to choosing no more than one per category and be realistic about what
you can and can't do.

2. Identify the "Why" Behind Your Resolution
When you identify the "why" behind making your resolution, it will strengthen your resolve
to keep it. The "why" connects you to your core values, which give your life meaning. Resolutions
should align with those values and represent what is most important to you (e.g., Exercise more.
Why - To boost my energy and strength).

3. Make a Plan
Resolutions are broken more quickly when there is no plan in place. Plan weekly and daily,
reserving specific time in your schedule devoted to achieving your goal (e.g., Spend more time
with family. Plan - At the beginning of the week, schedule family dinners, outings, etc. on your calendar).

4. Write Down Your Resolutions
Writing down your resolutions transforms them into concrete, specific intentions. Keep them
in a planning system for daily review. Reviewing written goals helps you focus your intentions
and make daily choices that will lead you to achieve your goals.

5. Break Resolutions Down Into Smaller Pieces
It's easier to achieve your resolution if it's not so overwhelming. Break your goal down into
smaller projects, and make a list of the tasks you must complete to finish each project. Assign
realistic deadlines for completing each project and its associated tasks.

6. Track Your Success with Benchmarks
A resolution is a goal you accomplish over time. Every time you complete a project or task that
moves you closer to your goal, record it in your planning system. Tallying small benchmarks
over the course of a week or month is motivating and rewarding because you can see your progress.
Celebrate each achievement!

7. If You Fail, Eliminate Guilt and Start Again
If you break your resolution and are laden with guilt, don't beat yourself up, just begin again.
Everyone struggles when making changes or trying to achieve goals. You may fail a number of
times, but the key is to keep trying and stop feeling guilty. Start again!

8. Reward Yourself
Determine motivating rewards for completing a step toward your goal. Celebrate your success with
those rewards along the way!

9. Find a Mentor
Enlist someone you trust to help you as you work toward your goal. This person should encourage
you when you are struggling and celebrate your successes, instead of discouraging you.

10. If Your Resolution Isn't Working, Replace it
If you find you aren't achieving your resolution, take it off your list. You may not be
passionate enough about it or ready to fulfill it at this time. It isn't a negative thing,
or a sign of failure; it is a question of timing. Choose another resolution you are excited
about and ready to achieve.

"The only person who can really change you is you," said Morgenstern. "Invest in yourself
this year by working on something that will positively impact your life. Choose your resolutions carefully, understand that baby steps are fine, and enjoy making more progress this year than last year."
