Apps that help you with your New Year's resolutions

Work on your New Year's resolution(s) with the help of an app.

Take 10,000 steps a day
Research has shown that we take an average of 6,000 steps per day. 10,000 steps is therefore a nice and achievable goal, although you will probably have to do something extra for it. Many phones have an app by default where you can see your step count. The Moves app also keeps track of the number of steps you take and thus gives you insight. That way you can see whether you can use an extra walk today or not.

Look less on your phone
Are you slightly addicted to your phone? Then you probably check your mobile regularly during the day, without really being aware of it. Put the Checky app on your phone for a while and you can see how many times you check your phone in a day. Unplugging every now and then is good for you.

Working in a more structured way
Not everyone benefits from the same way of working. You can use your digital agenda, so that you can access your up-to-date agenda wherever you are. You can keep track of your to-do list in an app like Todoist. But for some, pen and paper still works best.

Learn a new language
With DuoLingo you can boost your language skills or even start learning a new language.

Watch your budget
There are various apps to keep track of your budget and to provide insight into what you spend your money on. BDGT is one of those apps, with a convenient and efficient interface. You can categorize your expenses in one click.

More sports
In the Nike+ Training Club you will find free full workouts and workouts targeting specific body parts. You just do the exercises at home, so you have no excuse not to train.

Several New Year's resolutions
Do you have other New Year's resolutions related to personal growth, becoming more productive or living a healthier life? In the Coach.me app you can enter and keep track of various intentions.
