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](https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98738130). “Reward your successes, \[and\] reinforce yourself for each step with a healthy treat or a compliment.” [Read More](https://blog.imon.net/keep-your-new-years-resolutions-with-this-simple-method) Topics: [ImOn Communications](https://blog.imon.net/tag/imon-communications), [Cable TV](https://blog.imon.net/tag/cable-tv), [Internet](https://blog.imon.net/tag/internet) ## [Staying Safe When Shopping Online](https://blog.imon.net/staying-safe-when-shopping-online) Posted by [ImOn Communications](https://blog.imon.net/author/imon-communications) on Dec 12, 2018 3:30:06 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![iStock-155773494-man laptop credit card on couch](https://blog.imon.net/hubfs/iStock-155773494-man%20laptop%20credit%20card%20on%20couch.jpg)](https://blog.imon.net/staying-safe-when-shopping-online) 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](http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/12/19/online-shopping-and-e-commerce/), 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.
