The average American spends over 30 hours a month online (and I know many people who spend much more than that).

We could see the ocean, mountains in the distance, and our destination straight ahead:  the summit at the end of the trail.

Here are three concrete, research and experience backed strategies you can use to keep your resolutions – unlike most people. And if you’ve already faltered, don’t worry – you can still use these strategies!
