Online resources to help with your Goals
Mint.com
offers FREE finance tracking online. You plug in your info and plan a budget and it emails you updates and warnings when your spending has exceeded your budget in each area. If you don't want to invest in Quicken, this is a great alternative.
Michele Connolly is offering a Free Goals & Priority Diary (downloadable version) All you do is "Like" her page of FB and you can order one for free. It's usually $29. It is a downloadable version, so you can open it up on your computer right after you order it. I ordered one and it's VERY detailed.
The Simple Mom blog has an article on Setting Reachable Goals in 2011. It goes step by step on how to ask yourself questions in order to plan your goals, and then breaks them into categories.

New Year's Resolution Top 4 tips and books to help
Do your new year's resolutions include financial management? You need to check out this book:
Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover
I've read this book, it's great. There are a bunch of wonderful tips, worksheets and overall advice to get your finances in order. It's a very motivating book and would be great to help get you on the right track to achieve your fiscal goal.
Another goal you might have is to de-clutter and organize your home and space. If so, this book (below) is AMAZING:
Peter Walsh's It's all too much I talked about this book in THIS post earlier this year. This book is VERY motivating. So much so that I actually ordered my own copy of this book after borrowing it from the library. Peter Walsh not only talks about organizing, but about simplifying your life and realizing that you don't need everything you think you do. I love this book. In fact, I've just motivated myself to re-read it this week! :)
Here are 4 things to help with your resolutions I found on CNN:
1. Be specific about your goal.
2. Set a realistic goal.
Make sure you set something achievable and sustainable.
3. Establish a plan to reach your goal.
4. Set a time frame to reach your goal.
