actually stick to

For many of us, it’s an annual tradition: come up with New Year’s resolutions so we can be our best selves, diligently follow the plan for a few days or weeks, and then ditch the resolutions and go back to our usual habits.

Part of the problem is that we often set overly ambitious targets. Once we start to fall behind on our goals, we eventually give up in frustration. This year, set some goals you can actually achieve.

ease into exercise

Most of us would benefit from some more physical activity. But joining a gym or signing up for classes can feel daunting. Instead, start small. Find a friend who you can go on a brisk walk with two or three times a week. If you’re back in the office, consider riding your bike to work once a week. Get off the bus or subway a couple stops early and walk the rest of the way. And use the stairs a couple of times a week instead of taking the elevator.

master home cooking

We’ve all felt the pinch of inflation. One way to save money on meals is to skip restaurant and takeout meals and prepare your food at home. Cooking at home also gives you control over how much sugar, salt and fat you consume.

If you’re the kind of person who eats out for almost every meal, set a goal of making at least one dinner at home a week - and make extra so you can have leftovers or freeze it for another day.

If you already cook at home regularly, encourage your children to join in and learn a valuable life skill. Inspire variety by challenging yourself to try one new recipe every week.

get to bed earlier

Regular, restful sleep boosts your mood, health and cognitive functioning. Try to have your head hit the

pillow 30 minutes to an hour earlier than you’re used to.

Start by avoiding caffeinated drinks and vigorous activities late in the day. To help you fall asleep earlier, put away your phone and laptop and turn off the TV at least an hour before you plan to go to bed. Instead, dim the lights in your room, and maybe curl up with a book.

protect your digital self

Make this the year you protect yourself from cybercrime. Don’t reuse a password for multiple purposes or accounts. If you’re worried about remembering all your passwords, consider using a password manager. With this tool, you only have to remember one password to access all your accounts.

For a higher level of security, consider using passphrases instead of passwords. Passphrases are a series of four or more random words that are easy for you to remember, but almost impossible for cybercriminals to guess, such as BathroomLampClosetMug.

Also set up a schedule to make sure all your devices and software are updated. Better yet, enable automatic updates whenever possible. Make a habit of clearing your cache and browser history after browsing online, and always log out of your accounts.

expert tips to update your kitchen on a budget

Did you know that improvements to the kitchen add more value to a home than in any other room? Updating an interior as a savvy investor doesn’t have to break your budget. Try these efficient, effective kitchen upgrades:

put up window treatments

They’re not too expensive and don’t take much skill to install, but they add a feeling of comfort and versatility to the space. You want the people to feel at home in your

kitchen, and when they picture how they’d set the blinds, they’re already putting themselves there. Take some thought as to the material and tone. Your shades are not the place for an accent colour. Match a mid-tone in your existing colour scheme for the best results.

switch to open shelves

While having your kitchenware displayed on open shelving doesn’t automatically help renters imagine themselves using the kitchen, open shelving does something just as good. It’s memorable, striking and fashionable. A tenant may well be considering the upgrade themselves, and being saved the work can potentially translate into an easier sale.

install a new faucet

It’s such an everyday object that we always don’t think about it much, but a kitchen’s faucet is one of the first places the eye lands on as someone enters the room. Make a good first impression by simply swapping it out for a fresh one. A flowing, statuesque design will catch the eye while conveying high value. Consider modern features like Touch2O, that lets the faucet turn on with a simple tap anywhere on it. A faucet with a Lumicoat finish will resist mineral buildup, keeping up an effortlessly shining display.

pack like a pro

It’s no big secret moving can be stressful – from broken dishes to lost items. But there are a few things you can do to make the whole process a little easier on the nerves.

• Boxes of books get heavy fast so ensure to use only small boxes when it comes to these items. Apply this general rule to everything you’re packing: the heavier the item, the smaller the box.

• Emptying the closet can be an organizing nightmare. Use specific wardrobe boxes to simplify the process. To save space, clothes in drawers can be packed into suitcases.

Start by planning your moving day well in advance. Once you select your moving company, book your reservations two to four weeks before your scheduled move day to guarantee availability.

Next, it’s time to roll up those sleeves and begin boxing up your household or office space. Choosing boxes to do this may not be as much of a no-brainer as you’d presume:

• As tempting as it may be to pick up used cardboard boxes from the grocery store, don’t. You never know what little critter is hiding in the corner of food boxes – or if the box will be strong enough to support your possessions. In fact, don’t use used boxes in general; you don’t know how much weight they can handle or how much weight they’ve already handled.

BY CHUCK RESNICK

Assign boxes to specific rooms. Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box – it can make for a frustrating unpacking process or a wild goose-chase if you’re looking for kitchen utensils in the living room box. Keep a record of what goes into which box so you can find what you need instantly.

When it comes to large appliances, take a peek at the owner’s manuals to see if there are special instructions for moving.

Packing breakables requires the upmost care. Always stack dishes upwards and never use newsprint to wrap fine china as it can be messy to clean. Instead, choose protective packing paper or bubble wrap.

With these tips and a few deep breaths, you’re well on your way to a smooth-sailing move. Visit twomen.ca for a location near you. ■
