Hearst's Manilla.com Releases New Year's Toolkit, Life Guide to the "New You"

"The start of the new year is an opportunity for self-reflection and overall life improvement, and we want to help ease that process," said Sarah Kaufman, editor-in-chief of The Manilla Folder, Manilla's blog. "We've curated some of the best pieces of advice from our expert contributors to ensure that our readers feel empowered to improve their lives this year. Whether it's deciding it's time to get out of debt, save more for retirement, exercise more frequently, or adjust their diet, we want people to feel inspired to make a positive change." The toolkit covers life-improvement advice within the categories of money, organization, productivity and lifestyle, and offers tips on everything from how to negotiate a raise, to making your health and fitness goals a reality, to how to be on time more frequently. Contributors include several of Manilla's business and content partners, including AT&T, Comenity, Citi, Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day and others. The toolkit is available for download by clicking here or by visiting the New Year's category page on The Manilla Folder.
