My New Year's Resolutions

I have made my New Year's resolutions just as every year, but I hope to be able to fulfill all of them for the first time.

First of all, I'll try to go to the gym more often in order to be healthier and lose a bit of weight. In my opinion, this resolution is the most difficult to keep because I haven't enough free time and I'm also quite lazy, so I prefer reading or watching a film instead of exercising.

Secondly, I really look forward to traveling on holiday but I can hardly afford it. So I would like to save some money by not wasting it on things which I don't actually need. For instance, I haven't gone to the sales yet because I have enough clothes and the discounts are pretty unappealing.

And I wish not to be so untidy and disorganized, as the tidier you are the less time you waste in putting things in order. I have managed to keep my house tidy so far and I hope it becomes a habit soon.

Since it's said that you need only 21 days to create a daily routine, I hope all my resolutions will become easier to fulfill over the next months.

Hello Laura,

Yes, it is that time of year again. I used to make resolutions every year then I made one resolution and have kept it for many years - no problem. I resolved not to make any more resolutions!

Just a couple of small corrections, 'look forward' is always followed by 'to' (then + thing or verb+ ing). You 'waste money on' something or verb + ing.

All the best, I hope you manage to stick to your resolutions.
