Resolutions may be hard to keep, but doesn’t mean they’re doomed to fail. According to psychologist John Norcross, you have the best chance of sticking to your resolution when you set one that’s realistic and attainable—in other words, one that you can work little by little.

“Track your progress by recording or charting the behavior in question,” says Norcross. “Reward your successes, [and] reinforce yourself for each step with a healthy treat or a compliment.”

The 2018-2019 college bowl games are underway and ImOn has the full list of where you can watch each game, now through January 7th. 

The Internet has changed our lives in many ways. It makes it easier to pay bills, communicate, stay informed, and conduct business. But one of the biggest things the Internet has changed is e-commerce and how we make purchases. In fact, according to Pew Research Center, 79% of Americans are doing their shopping online, especially during the holidays. That is up from only 22% in 2000. The table on the right shows what products people most commonly purchased online, with clothes, shoes, and electronics taking the top spots. However, with more and more purchases happening online, it has created more opportunities for cyber criminals to steal your personal information. Here are a few tips to make sure your personal information stays safe when you make your online purchase.

Use the Holiday Movie Cheer-O-Meter to Decide What to Watch

It’s hard not to love the sights, sounds and smells of the season—the Christmas lights on every house. The wonderful smell of pine trees. The peppermint mocha lattes!

 But for every person who’s been waiting all year round to don their overly festive holiday sweater, there’s another who just can’t get into the spirit. Most of us find ourselves falling in the middle, somewhere between Buddy the Elf and the Grinch. But no matter where you fall on the cheer-o-meter, there’s a character to sympathize with on the season’s best movies, shows and TV specials.

 Use our Holiday Hero Cheer-O-Meter to find what you’re in the mood to watch this winter:

The Holidays are almost here and although they can be joyful and dazzling, they can also be incredibly stressful, especially when you have to travel. Here are a few gadgets to help make your Holiday travels a winter’s breeze.

Trying to remember a time before the World Wide Web, personal computers, iPads, and smart phones is comparable to trying to imagine a time before there were cars and highways.  How did we ever get anything done?  The advantages of the information age allow humankind to access and share massive amounts of information, perform commerce, and interact across diverse populaces on a grander and more rapid way than ever imagined when that first Apple PC appeared the late 1970s.  However, as with all great and amazing human achievements and technology advances, new dangers and threats emerge that we must defend against.

There seems to be a limited amount of ways to scare people, as the same themes keep popping up in every scary movie, horror film, and Halloween TV special. But, that doesn’t stop us from enjoying them. In fact, sometimes these repeated motifs are half the fun!
