1. Lose the Weight
减肥
From wearing a pedometer to surrounding yourself with the color blue, there are all kinds of small changes that can help you finally drop those extra pounds. Make a commitment that 2012 will be the year you get rid of what's weighing you down.
不管是依靠一个计步器或是参加到一个减肥组织里，有各式各样的小改变能帮你减掉这些赘肉。许下承诺，在2012年，你要减掉让你重起来的那部分赘肉。
2. Get Organized
让生活有条不紊
If your home is makes you feel like you're heading toward an episode of Hoarders, start small: Focus on one clutter-packed zone (even that junk drawer in your kitchen) and get that in order, then move on to the more-intimidating areas (hello, garage!).
如果你的家让你觉得是一处堆积物品的地方，从小处着手：先集中对付一个杂乱丛生的区域（你厨房里的废品抽屉别放过），把它理干净，然后转向更庞大的区域（比如说，车库！）
3. Get On Top of Finances
对财务状况了如指掌
Even if cash is really tight, 2012 can be the year you finally get a sense of control over your money.
即使手头真的拮据，在2012年，你也能培养出掌控财务的意识。
4. Spend More Time with Family and Friends
要多花些时间与家人和朋友在一起
A lot of us feel we don't spend enough quality time with those we love. So pick up the phone or fire up the computer and start arranging experiences that you can do together. Here's one way: Send an e-mail invite to a picnic in a centrally located park. Everyone brings food and drink‚ and a smorgasbord of catch-up results.
很多人觉得，他们和喜欢的人在一起度过的美好时光，那是少之又少。所以，拿起电话，或打开电脑，开始安排一些你们能一起体验的经历。这有一个方法，发送邮件邀请他们到市中心的一个公园野餐。每一个人都带上食物和饮料，就像吃自助餐一样。
