4 Ways Technology Can Help You Achieve Your New Year’s Resolutions

It’s that time of the year again. In just a few days, the whole of humanity will collectively march into a new year and with that, the time-old tradition of setting some New Year’s resolutions.

Making New Year’s resolutions has been practiced for thousands of years by people from all around the world. In the United States alone, around 38.5% of adults set at least one New Year’s resolution. And yet, by the end of the year, only 9% feel like they’ve achieved what they set out to do.

Setting New Year’s resolutions, especially big goals, can be overwhelming. And while motivation mostly plays the primary determining factor on whether or not you stick to your commitments, having a little bit of assistance on the side will help you find the momentum to keep going.

In that case, technology is your friend. Here are a few ways of making technology work for you and your goals.

• Use a goal-tracking app. There are several apps available that can help you track your progress toward your goals. You can set up reminders, track your daily progress, and even get encouragement and motivation from the app. Some popular options include Habitica, Streaks, and TaskSpur (our own goal management tool - Get it here: https://www.taskspur.com).
• Use social media to your advantage. Social media can be a double-edged sword when it comes to motivation. On one hand, it can be a distraction and a source of procrastination. On the other hand, it can be a great source of accountability and support. Consider sharing your goals with your friends and family on social media and asking for their support and encouragement. You can also join online communities or groups related to your goals for additional motivation and accountability.

• Take advantage of technology to automate your tasks. Technology can help you automate tasks and make your life more efficient. For example, if one of your goals is to save money, you can use apps like Mint or YNAB to automatically track your spending and help you budget your money. If you want to get fit, you can use a fitness tracker or a smartwatch to track your workouts and progress.
• Use technology to stay organized. Staying organized can be a challenge, especially if you have multiple goals or tasks to juggle. To stay on top of things, you can use tools like Google Calendar to help you prioritize and plan your tasks. These tools can help you keep track of deadlines, set reminders, and stay focused on your goals.

Bottomline

Technology can be a great ally in your quest to achieve your New Year's resolutions. Whether it's through goal-tracking apps, social media support, automation of tasks, or organization tools, there are many ways you can use technology to your advantage. With a little bit of planning and discipline, you can make this the year you finally achieve your goals and make meaningful progress toward a better future.
