十大最流行的新年目标 如何才能坚持下去?

Whether you're tens, hundreds or thousands of dollars in debt, reducing that debt takes dedication and diligence. To start, do not accrue any more debt and instead only spend within your means. To reduce the debt you already have, list all your debts from smallest to largest. "Start by paying off the smallest debt," suggested Martin, who explains that the reward of paying it off can motivate you to work on your larger debts, too. If necessary, work with a financial specialist to help you create a plan of attack.
无论你正身负几千、几百或几十美元的债，想达成这个目标，需要奉献和勤勉的精神。第一步要做到“不再欠更多债”，而只在可承受的范围内开销。若想偿还债务，先列一张表，把每笔债务从小到大清点一遍。“从最小一笔开始还”，Martin这样建议。她解释道，因为每偿还一笔，你都将得到良性的促进和鼓舞，这样一来，大的债务也能渐渐被偿还了。有必要的话，也可以请一个理财专家，来帮助你设立“作战计划”。

7. Get Organized
7. 生活得更有条理

Drowning in clutter? Try nixing as much paper as possible and storing it digitally instead, Martin suggests. "With an electronic copy, you can get rid of the paper copy and immediately begin to keep your space clear and organized," she said. For standard household organization, go through all your possessions and donate whatever you aren't using. Buy storage containers of all sizes, give everything a place and then label the containers. "Designating one space for each item keeps it from being jumbled and hard to find," said Martin.
感觉快被一团乱麻淹没了？不如试试减少纸张使用、转向数字生活吧，这是Martin的建议。“电子文档可以立即帮你摆脱成堆的纸质文件，还你一个干净有条理的空间，” 她说。对于普通的家庭或机构而言，不妨翻看一下自己的存货，然后把那些不用的东西都捐出去。购置各种尺寸的储物箱，把每件东西都标记好，然后放进去。“把空间标记好，不同的地方存放专门的东西，这样就不会造成一团乱麻、要啥找不到啥的局面了。”

8. Reduce Alcohol Intake
8. 减少酒精摄入

To successfully reduce your alcohol intake, first consider where you do the majority of your drinking. "If you’re a social drinker, do less events where others are drinking and do more physical activities like skating or hiking," suggested Martin. "This way you get your social interaction, but it’s not built around behavior where drinking is the norm." Martin says to pay attention to your drinking mood if you're a solitary drinker. Once you understand your triggers, work to avoid them and find other ways to cope or relieve that mood.
想要少喝酒，首先你得回忆一下平时一般都在哪里喝得比较多。“假如应酬时总喝多，那就少去聚餐，多做些体育运动，比如滑冰啊、徒步之类。” Martin建议道。“这样，你既和朋友们保持了联络，同时也回避了那种处处离不开酒精的场面。” Martin还说，假如你常常独饮，那得好好注意一下自己在喝酒时的情绪。一旦你掌握了自己情绪的薄弱点，那么下次再出现这种情绪时，用别的方式来化解它。

9. Get Fit
9. 去健身

Exercise and getting more fit is all about a lifestyle change -- not a temporary regimen. "To get fit, you must engage in an activity that you love, at a time where you are fully focused on you and you only," advised Martin. "Separate an hour in every day that belongs only to you. In that hour, do the sporting activity you enjoy most." If you hate running, don't do it. Instead try dancing, skating or even walking. If you enjoy sports, join a community team. If you love the outdoors, take up hiking or biking.
体育锻炼和健身是一辈子的事业，而非短期强化可以达到。“想变得健美，首先你得找到自己喜欢什么运动，以及算算自己的哪些时间是能保证不被打扰专心运动的。”Martin建议道。“可以试着把一小时零散分布在全天中。在这些完全属于你自己的时间里，做最喜欢的运动。如果你讨厌跑步，那就别跑。试试跳舞啊、溜冰啊、走路啊什么的。如果你喜欢某些运动项目，可以去参加社团。如果你喜欢户外，那就去徒步或骑车。”

10. Spend More Time With Family
10. 花更多时间和家人相处

Spending quality time with your family can be tricky since it requires balancing various peoples' schedules. The key is to plan in advance and to find something fun that you all enjoy. "Take turns picking an activity that everyone can do and set aside a specific time every week," suggested Martin. "Even if it's game night at home, put the event on your calendar so you don't schedule something over it by accident."
这其实是个并不容易的目标，因为，家里每个人的时间都得有一个共同的交集才行。要提前做计划，找出那些所有人都喜欢的活动。“可以试着让每个家庭成员轮流选择一次活动，并设立一个’每周特殊时间’，让大家都能参与其中。”Martin建议道，“即便是一家人大晚上玩游戏也行啊。总之，把这件事记在日历上，这样可以避免’一不小心被别的安排打乱’的事发生了。”
