During the last week of December, many Americans started making resolutions for the new year ahead.  Quitting smoking and losing weight always top the list, and other promises people make to themselves are saving money, taking time to relax, or reading 100 books. Well, if you’ve gotten a little slack already, help is on the way, thanks to our smartphones!

• If you’re tracking your general health, sleep, and how many steps you’re taking daily, use your Health iPhone app, or Google Fit on Android devices.
• Healthier eating is a popular goal, and My Fitness Pal and Lose It! help you count calories, and users can even scan products on store shelves for nutritional information.
• HelloTalk, Duolingo, and TripLingo are great apps for those who desire to learn a foreign language.
• Drinking more water should be at the top of everyone’s list, and there are apps that offer push notifications to remind you to down a full glass at different times of the day, and even keep track of your water intake. There are plenty of choices available for iOs and Android.
• Did you vow to become better organized in your business? Inc.com has several app suggestions to help you organize your schedules, notes, and reminders.
• Staying motivated and encouraged can be tough, but there’s an app (several, actually) for that! Use your phone’s app store button to find the one that’s right for you, from daily inspirational quotes to encouraging you to meet your daily goals.
• Smartphones can be amazing tools, but a distraction as well. If you planned to get better at time management, try Forest ($1.99).  Open the app, and a seed is planted.  Leave it open throughout the day and watch a tree grow and thrive while you stay on track.  Open a social media app or game, and the tree dies.  A bit drastic, but a fun way to help you finish a task.
• You’ve been skipping your book club meetings because, lately, there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to read. Bookling offers an app that will motivate you to read every day, and will encourage the kids, as well!
• Breaking any habit, whether it be smoking, nail-biting, or overspending, can be hard, to say the least. Strides Goals and Habit Tracker is a wonderful app that lets you set up to ten goals free, set milestones and end dates for the hardest habits to break, as well as holding you accountable with notifications throughout the day.

If you’re not sure where to look, go to appcrawlr.com, search for the general app subject, choose your operating device, and it will use its search engine to find an app that will work best for you.  Whatever your resolution, there is probably a device application that can help you be a better you.
