It happens every year: We set ambitious New Year’s resolutions—work more, spend less, keep a cleaner house—full of optimism and inspiration. Then life happens, and suddenly June comes and you can’t even remember what your resolutions were.
But it is not necessary to be like this. Sometimes the problem is not a lack of motivation, but a lack of tools that can make those goals more manageable and easier to achieve. After all, the right gear can help turn good intentions into habits that actually stick.
Below, we’ve collected some of our favorite tools, designed to help our readers achieve many of the most common New Year’s resolutions. If improving your health and fitness is at the top of your list, we’ve included wearable devices in a variety of styles, as well as fitness-focused earbuds with built-in heart rate tracking. We’ve also used powerful robot vacuums and bullet journals to support cleaning and organization goals, while budgeting apps and bento boxes that help you prepare lunch at home can help you save money.
No matter what you’re hoping to improve, our guide is packed with all kinds of techniques and other tools designed to help you get started — and, hopefully, keep going long after January is over.
