Ready or not, the New Year’s here. And if you’re like
everyone else around you right now, you’ve come up with some pretty ambitious
resolutions. That’s awesome. Also probably a little bit scary. But there’s
nothing a man can’t achieve when he puts his heart and mind to it.
Let me introduce you
to some great apps that’ll provide you a few shortcuts and get you closer to
accomplishing your goals.
1. If Your Resolution Is to Learn More
Build your knowledge in minutes a day with the Curiosity app. Watch hand-picked
videos on five fascinating topics, or if you’re really pressed for time, just
peek at the key facts and info graphics to learn something new in seconds. Of
course, this won’t replace a taking a class, but it will expand your
horizons and make you feel much more informed and up-to-date. The app is a
little bit data consuming with the videos but most good things come at a cost,
and that includes learning.
2. If Your Resolution Is to learn a new language
This should be one of everyone’s goals this year. This makes
you more marketable and attractive, and also in the process increases your
mental capacity. Duolingo is a very
good app to use when it comes to achieving this. I personally have been
learning Spanish with the app for a while now and I can say I really wouldn’t
have been so much better off attending a language school.
3. If Your Resolution Is to Start cooking/eating
Healthier
Helping you make meals that are good for you is Yummly’s specialty. The recipe app
has a powerful search feature that sifts through top food blogs to find options
that’ll satisfy your cravings, but in a healthy way. It also serves up
gorgeous, full-sized photos of the mouth-watering dishes you’re planning to
prepare.
Try looking for “quick lunch,” “simple lunch,” or “hot
lunch,” and you’ll get a load of delicious recipes you can easily compare and
choose from. Even better, you can create shopping lists for each recipe and
access or organize them on any device. You can also use that
powerful filter to get recipes that fit your nutritional goals, avoid your
allergies, and work with your tastes, or you can add your own favourite dishes
to the app so you can have them right at your fingertips.
4. If Your Resolution Is to Get Organized
If you’re the type that forgets things easily or just can’t
manage to stay on top of your daily tasks, then 24me is the app for you. It brings your to-dos from your calendar, task
manager, notes, social networks, financial institutions, and more together in
one place automatically, reminding you about your cannot-be-missed errands and
due dates.
5. If your resolution
is to keep fit
Whether you want to lose a few extra pounds or just improve
your energy levels, the 7 Minute Workout app is a great entry point into your fitness
and healthy lifestyle.
The 7 Minute Workout focuses on a short,
high-intensity routine, which is scientifically proven to aid
weight loss and improve cardiovascular function. For people who find the idea
of picking up a gym membership or going cross-country running
intimidating, this app provides the perfect jumping off point, thanks to the
brevity of its workouts. You just look over the exercises, hit the start
button and off you go.
New year’s resolutions definitely require some level of
dedication, but these apps make it easier to see them through. Good luck!
