One of the most common New Year's Resolutions is to get organized. Yet it's easier said than done, and getting organized can be a tall order. What if you could get organized in 30, 15, or even 5 minutes or less each day? Here are my top 21 organizing resolutions you can actually keep.

5 Minutes
1. Memorize the credit card number you use most. You'll be amazed at what a time-saver this is.
2. Throw out any markers or pens that are out of ink and pencils without erasers.
3. Throw out any mismatched socks. If the mate hasn't shown up yet, recognize that it's probably long gone.
4. Discard all of the unimportant receipts cluttering your wallet. Let's face it; you can't return the Starbucks latte, so why hang onto the receipt?
5. Throw away that box/bag of wires/chargers that's been collecting dust in your closet for years. If all of your electronics are functioning, there's nothing there that

"The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself." - Benjamin Franklin

This is the intro line from the movie, Happy.

happyHappiness and how to achieve it are becoming increasingly popular, interesting, and relevant topics. And for good reason.

Statistical, scientific information and research on happiness, why it matters, and how to attain it are becoming hard to ignore, dismiss, or write off as soft science.

Ask yourself this: Are you happy?

It's a rhetorical question, so you can answer honestly.

Whether your answer is yes or no, ask yourself, Why? Why are you happy? Why aren't you happy? There's no right or wrong answer. There's just your answer.

This compelling picture is for anyone who thinks they're happy; anyone who's ever been depressed; anyone who's tasted happiness and then watched it slip out of their fingers; anyone who feels like they've spent their whole life chasing

Attention all Dating with Dignity daters: The Friend Zone is not always a bad thing! We've all had a crush on a male friend at some point or another; maybe you even ended up in a relationship with one of these guys. However, like it or not, male friends are not always going to like you back in the same way you're interested in them.

But wait! This can be a GREAT thing. "How can this possibly be a good thing?" you ask. Let us tell you four ways.

1. Bounce your current dating situation off an actual male, and you may actually get SOLID advice.

Let's face it: Asking your lady friends can be a good idea sometimes. But in reality, women don't always give the best advice to their friends. (Which is why a session with a professional dating coach can be the best decision you make this year.) But if you aren't ready for that, start with a male friend who can actually give you the male perspective on what's going on in your love life; often, it can be extremely insightful!

Resolutions, schmezalutions: there's a reason why those stinkin' things never last past January 14. Yes, it was totally noble that time you pledged to be super-organized-all-the-time-everywhere and drink-only-green-juice-from-here-to-eternity, but let's get real. We all want to be happier, healthier and wealthier versions of ourselves in 2013, but we have a tendency to set up goals that are so lofty (and expensive, and complicated) that they're next to impossible to carry out.

Well, Gretchen Rubin (author of the immensely successful blog-turned-book The Happiness Project, as well as the new tome Happier at Home) has a message for all of us New Year's grumps: the best resolutions are not really resolutions at all, but quick, d'oh-worthy tips that we're surprised we never thought of. From taking a moment enjoying your favorite scents (hello, beloved morning coffee!) to giving your roommate a warm hello every evening (yes, even

hot honey lemonHerbal remedies are at the root of modern-day medicine. For example, aspirin originated from willow bark and morphine from the opium poppy.

Although modern medicine continues to take leaps and strides in significant areas of disease and illness, there are many simple remedies we can implement into our lifestyle that may ward off future diseases.

One of the easiest (and delicious) natural remedies available to us is green tea.

Here's a few significant ways green tea can impact your health, inside and out:

The polyphenols present in green tea may help prevent and repair damage from sun exposure by fighting free radicals that damage cells.

This is significant because of the domino effect that starts with UV radiation. UV radiation can damage DNA, which can then cause immune system suppression, which may create a risk for developing skin cancer.

Many studies are producing convincing evidence that the major polyphenol in green tea, EGCG (

Online dating is a new realm for many women. It can be daunting, as well as confusing, so here's some need-to-know online dating advice for women to make navigating the online dating "jungle" a little bit easier.

1. Make your profile great.
One of the keys to successful online dating is a well written profile. When it comes to profile text, be brief and unique. Men don't want to read the usual "blah blah blah" of why you are fabulous, a list of your hobbies, and how you "work hard and play hard." Instead, use language that enables him to imagine, in his mind's eye, the two of you doing the things you love to do together!

Specificity will make you stand out! For example, rather than saying "I love to go to jazz clubs and hike in Runyon Canyon," you could say, instead, "If we are a match, the perfect weekend may include checking out the latest jazz club, staying up just a bit too late, sleeping in guilt free, lots of cuddle time, and then spending our afternoon on the

Yes, Virginia. There is a way to track Santa Claus.

As has been its tradition for 57 years, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will break out the holiday cheer with all of its Santa Tracker tools, including a new mobile app, to help kids everywhere follow Santa Claus as he delivers gifts around the globe.

So, why would a North American command center that usually is looking out for threats to the air and water turn its attention to jolly Saint Nick? It all started back in 1955, when a local Sears Roebuck & Co. catalog that promised a Santa hotline misprinted the number. Instead of Santa, callers got Continental Air Defense Command, now known as NORAD.

Calls going into the command center were generally red alerts from the secretary of defense or even the president. Instead, a little girl on the other end of the line asked for Santa. Col. Harry Shoup, who was working on Christmas Eve, knew a call to service when he heard one. He instructed staff
