Research suggests 80% of people abandon their New Year's resolutions by February.
As they say, "If you fail to plan you plan to fail."
Here are 5 spreadsheet templates to help you land in the 20% that stick with it: 📊
Get In Shape:
In 2019 I lost nearly 100 lbs.
No fad diet. No crazy routines.
I tracked what I ate and exercised regularly.
You don't need something complicated, you need something that works.
Here's the simple sheet I used:

Budgeting is a great place to start.
Here's an Excel template to get you headed in the right direction:

Get Out of Debt: (Excel)
According to multiple sources, the average American has somewhere around ~$90,000 in debt.
Without a plan, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
Start here: Build A Debt Snowball
Begin with your smallest debt and work your way up.

Get Out of Debt: (Google Sheets)
The basic principle of the Debt Snowball is simple:
By listing your smallest debt first and then working your way up, you gain momentum.
The "snowball" builds as you feel the emotion of seeing debts hit $0.00.

• Get 8 hours of sleep
• Read 30 minutes per day
