The New York Times:
IT’S still early in 2012, so let’s be optimistic. Let’s assume you have made a New Year’s resolution and have not yet broken it. Based on studies of past resolutions, here are some uplifting predictions:

3) With a few relatively painless strategies and new digital tools, you can significantly boost your odds of success.
