15 Journals to Help You Keep Track of Your New Year's Resolutions in 2015

'Tis the season for making New Year's Resolutions — and finding cute notebooks in which to write down all your goals and promises. The Christmas season has come and gone, and New Year's Eve has flown by in a blur. As you eat what you swear will be the last dessert of the season, mentally promising yourself that you'll join a spin class and maybe try out hot yoga in the new year, think back to all of the resolutions of the past. So often they fall apart by the end of January. Gym memberships forgotten, promises to keep in touch more, read more, and spend less time on Netflix abandoned as they usually are with our busy day to day lives.

This year, pick up a notebook to keep yourself organized in 2015. An organized mind is the start to an organized life. Write down some promises to yourself this year. Ones you'll really keep this time. Write down some goals and ideas for the new year, and keep track of how you progress. It might just be me, but having a cute notebook to write in is half the battle. It's a small motivator to keep writing and progressing. Here are 15 suggestions to get you started!
