If 2023 was not the best year for you, there’s always a chance to make 2024 better. New Year’s resolutions are often set with good intentions, but many people struggle to maintain them. It’s important to have a supportive group and the right tools to make achieving your goals easier. Whether you want to get healthy, be more organized, or read more, there are tech tools that can help.
Fitness trackers are popular for those trying to improve their health. Fitbit’s Inspire 3 tracks daily steps, calories, heart rate, sleep, and more. It also has 20 goal-based exercises and a 10-day battery life. For runners or cyclists, the Fitbit Charge 6 with onboard GPS and Fitbit Pay is a good option. The Apple Watch SE is an all-purpose wearable with fitness tracking, built-in GPS, and smartwatch features. For Android users, the Fitbit Versa 4 offers similar features and more advanced sleep tracking.
Finding exercise classes that you enjoy can make working out feel less like a chore. Peloton offers app-only classes for $13 per month. Apple Fitness+ and Alo Moves are also good alternatives. If you can’t afford a monthly subscription, there are plenty of free exercise resources on the internet, such as Fitness Blender and YouTube workouts.
Accountability is key when building new habits, and habit-tracking apps like Done, Strides, and Habitica can help you log your progress. For to-do list apps, Todoist and Things are detailed enough for big work projects but simple enough for personal tasks. Microsoft’s To Do and the reminders app for iOS and Google Keep for Android offer free options.
For improved digital security, a password manager like 1Password, Bitwarden, NordPass, or Dashlane can help keep your online accounts secure. Regardless of your goals for 2024, having the right tools and support can make a big difference in achieving them.
