5 Ways To Put Your Place To Work For Your 2015 Resolutions

You’ve made your resolutions for 2015 -- and you’ve committed to sticking to them this year too. Is your home set to work in your favor?

1. YOU’VE RESOLVED TO EAT BETTER – AND TO EAT OUT LESS.

Committing to healthier eating, and to eating out less, means cooking at home. Is your kitchen equipped? If not, get what you need to make cooking fun and easy. Consider upgrading your appliances. Or remodeling your kitchen.

2. YOU’VE RESOLVED TO GET IN SHAPE.

Probably the most commonly made resolution -- and the most commonly broken too. It’s easiest to keep this one when you can work out at home. Stash the cash you’d spend on a gym membership and make space in your place for your workouts and equipment.

3. YOU’VE RESOLVED TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE.

Whether you work from home or you just really need to get stuff done, a dedicated space is key to productivity. Create a space that makes it easy to focus – and make sure you’ve got enough light, storage and electrical outlets to make the magic happen.

4. YOU’VE RESOLVED TO STRESS LESS AND RELAX MORE.

Kicking back and relaxing at the end of a long day is one of life’s simple pleasures. It can also be hard to do. Create a space you’ll want to chill out in -- be it a cozy TV room, an amazing patio, a quiet book nook or a rec room in the basement.

5. YOU’VE RESOLVED TO GET ORGANIZED.

With so many “hacks” at our fingertips, it’s easier than ever to get things in order. Still, nothing replaces good old-fashioned shelves and such for getting things organized. Consider installing quality closet units or creating dedicated storage areas. Better yet, have a professional come in and do it for you.
