New Year’s Resolutions are fun to make. We have put together some of our favorite ideas.

With our 70 unique New Year resolutions, we have divided the resolutions into seven main areas for our lives and given ten suggestions for each area. We like the idea of having 70 categories as we look at more well-rounded New Year resolutions than just goals in one area of our life.

70 Unique And Fun New Year Resolutions

When we make our New Year’s Resolutions, we always like to divide the resolutions into categories to ensure we make resolutions that touch every area of our life that we need to improve upon.

We feel this is one of the best ways to set goals. We pick New Year resolutions to work on in each of these different categories.

Once you have mastered those goals and resolutions, you can move on to the next ones. But we like the idea of dividing your life into different focus areas so that you look at all aspects of your life, not just one single part.
