(1) Temptation bundling helps me to keep to my resolution. An example is when I only allow myself to enjoy a smoothie from Boost after having brisk-walked over 12KM. This gives me something refreshing to drink after a workout and it is also a delicious treat.
(2) I think incentives from friends or family can also help me stay committed to my resolution. For instance, to help her friend to keep fit and reach the goal of bringing her weight to below 100KG, my elder sister promised her friend to treat her to a short vacation to any place in Southeast Asia, limited to airfare and/or lodging not over $350.

1)I would think the penalty one. It is becauseI barely have anything in my possession and if I lose, i will lose everything☹

2) I think something that will help people stick to their resolutions is to encourage them to do it. I think it's a really effective way as people will get motivated.😋

3)I think making a new years resolution is not a waste of time because if I make one I can make use of time and be productive throughout the year.🤽‍♂️

1. Make it fun. When it comes to achieving my goals it would be better for me to complete the goal when it is fun and enjoyable.
2. I think that having a journal to jot down progress for our New Year’s resolutions will be useful since we know how far we made it:
3. I do not agree that making New Year’s resolution is not a waste of time. Making New Year’s resolution can help you become a responsible person and gives someone something to look towards to and a goal for life

I think the punishment strategy is the best because it will motivate me to do my resolution and not get the punishment
I think that if someone like his or her parent or guardian or even their siblings do it with them, it may motivate them as well

1. Which of the strategies mentioned in the article would best help you to stick to your resolutions? Why?

1. Considering a penalty clause or making. a cue-based plan. I consider a penalty clause as I believe that. I must do my resolution or else I will have to face my punishment. I also would consider a cue-based plan as can remember it when necessary as secondary Secondry school life is hectic..

2 In your opinion, what other strategies not mention mentioned in the article would help someone stick to their resolutions.

2 You can mark it on your calender to fell by how many days you have done and every month treat yourself with little treat you can chocolate of ice-cream on that day.

3. Do you agree with a view that making new year resolutions is a waste of time? why?

3. No, I disagree despite the grim number of New Year resolutions completed. It is a new beginning to look forward to, this time you will be extra motivated to complete your goals.

1. To be honest, I believe a penalty clause would work. If something's on the line that is precious to you like cold-hard cash or free time to watch YouTube or listening to Soundcloud would easily motivate the average person to actually fulfill their task. Another great way to motivate is running 10 rounds in the fi- what did I say?

2. I'd say a strong mentality would cut it, since if you are resilient and have a optimistic mentality, you're sure to pass! Besides, it's vital. If you don't have resilience to finally finish your resolutions, you're gonna fail, I know it.

1.Consider a penalty clause . Usually when I make a resolution , I would be distracted and tend to not stick to my resolution . Hence , I would consider the penalty clause to punish myself if I get distracted .

2.They cold maybe have a reward if for every week or so,they would earn a prize or even money.This would probably motivate them to not break their resolutions.

3. No , maybe their solution would really benefit them such as you can lose weight as a resolution and it would not be a waste of time also, there also be a plan to stick to which would entice people to stick to that plan .

We would prefer strategy 2 as we think having punishments for not sticking to our new year resolution can help us get back on track in the best way.

In our opinion,one strategy that would help us is getting a little help from our parents ,despite the fact that there is a strategy saying getting help from friends,we think parents can give us wiser advice

1. Getting help from friends
By getting help from friends is what we feel would help stick to our cue plans.When we get help from friends it’s like getting advice who have already been through the situation you have went through and would be able to guide you from their experiences and prevent mistakes from happening.
2.Making a plan
I think if we make a plan, we would do things according to our plan and prevent getting confused and not having done our work and make sure that we’re on the right track.

The fifth strategy mentioned in “our” opinion would be the best to help us stick to our resolutions. Our friends and ourselves can always rely on each other, motivate each other and give each other helpful tips.

Q1 Answer:(Strategy 5)Getting help from friends.So my friends would encourage me to persist my resolution hence they would boost my confidence to help me stick to my resolution to then end of the year.

Q2 Answer:They should write down their resolution on their diary so they are able to refer to it anytime hence they would remember their resolution they made for them to stick to it.

1. Surrounding myself high achievers can help me feel more determined to complete my resolution.

2.They can place post it notes all over their house with the goals and ot be allowed to take them down. Only when done then can they take it down. That way they will be constantly reminded when people come over and ask about it when they walk about in their house.

3. yes i think making new year rosolution is a waste of time. Humans are lazy mammals and will forget about the resolution in the span of a week or so. Even if they remembered, they would not be bothered to complete them. Also, most resolutions are just compulsory daily routines that humans refuse to do.

1. Considering a Penalty clause. It will make me want to avoid penalties and consequences from my own actions. Being strict with myself helps me to focus on the goal.
2. One can set goals that are achievable and one that is within your range of capabilties. If this goal is achieved/a number of goals are achieved, one can get themself a grand reward.
3. Personally, I do not make new year's resolutions, instead I mkae goals along the way. Within these initial goals made, I can start to fulfill and cross out some as from time to time, one's abilities may change.

Question 1 :
I will reward myself with an hour of watching my phone after finishing my Math and English assessments.

Question 2 :
Another method I use is the “ timing “ method, you are suppose to time yourself and test how long can you study for . Each time you have to try to beat your best record , this way , it will make you feel like studying more .

Question 3 : No I don’t agree . We think that new year resolution act like goals and they are very helpful. New Year’s resolution also mean that starting over or a fresh start .

1. The strategy where you tell a few people about the goal.as I don't like feeling guilty ,I will make I finish my goal.

2.a point system.it is so that one can complete a goal and earn points and they can redeem the points for like a present(e.g chocolate)

3. I do not agree with the view that making new years resolution is a waste of time. New year resolutions are meant to be for making the people be a better person each year and I feel that that will make the world a better place.

Food for thought 😋 :D

Q1>>>>I think that considering a penalty clause will help me to stick to my resolutions as I feel that having a penalty clause will motivate me to get the job done and push me to not give up by the thought of receiving a penalty kept in mind.
I also think that getting a little help from my friends will get me motivated to stick to my resolutions because my friends are very encouraging and they will definitely be keen to share tips on how I can complete my resolutions.

Q2>>>> Staying positive would help someone to stick to their resolutions. Staying positive can boost one's confidence so that they can achieve their goals and complete their resolutions.

Q3>>>>> NO I do not agree. Making a new year's resolution can help you to make your dreams come true. Be it writing a book or creating a YouTube channel you can do it if you set your mind to it. Having a new year's resolution also teaches you to be resilient and persevere on even if you face difficulties and challenges, it helps you to believe in yourself and push through no matter what. Therefore, your future self will be stronger, wiser and more resilient than your current self. <3

1) The “Make it fun” strategy.
If we make our resolutions fun, we wouldn’t give up easily and will have a higher chance of succeeding.
2) We can get a friend to help us task everything well
