With work and school back in full swing, you might be finding it more difficult to keep your New Year’s resolutions. Lucky for you, we’ve found some great apps that can make keeping resolutions a piece of cake.
Transform your diet
Do you start each new year with the intention to change your eating habits for the better? While it may seem easy from the outset, maintaining a healthy diet is no easy task. Get yourself a meal plan that is both nutritious and tasty with the app Mealime. The app offers a range of different plan types to choose from, including low carb and paleo. Then, Mealime will create a personalised meal plan based on your allergies, disliked foods and how many people you’re cooking for, so that it’s suited to your specific needs. Pick your favourite healthy recipes and Mealime will even generate a weekly grocery list for you.
Become multi -lingual
Having another language under your belt can be extremely useful – and Duolingo’s gamified lesson style transforms learning a new language from a chore into a hobby. Through the app, you can hone your reading, listening and speaking skills while maintaining a streak count (the number of days in a row that you’ve worked on your chosen language). Duolingo has over 30 language courses to choose from, including even fictional languages like Game of Thrones’ High Valyrian and Star Trek’s Klingon.
Learn an instrument
If you’re looking to become more musical this new year, you should check out the app Yousician, developed by expert music teachers. Available to those looking to master guitar, bass, piano, ukulele or even singing, Yousician listens to your playing and gives you instant feedback so that you can improve. The app can be used by beginners or more advanced musicians and guides you through lessons with step -by -step video tutorials. With over 1500 missions and exercises as well as weekly challenges between you and other users, you’ll be discovering your musical side in no time!
Save money
Is this the year to finally get on top of your finances? Well, say goodbye to complex spreadsheets and hello to Frollo, the free budgeting and expense tracker app. Connect your bank accounts, home loans, and superannuation effortlessly from over 100 financial institutions . Set and achieve savings goals easily with the app’s automatic budgeting and spending tracking feature, allowing you to have a clear overview of your financial landscape.

Get a good night’s sleep
A good night’s sleep can make a world of difference. To help you get on top of your sleep schedule, try out the alarm clock and sleep tracking app, Sleep Cycle. The app tracks your sleep patterns in order to wake you up when you feel most rested – during the light sleep phase. According to Sleep Cycle, waking up during your light sleep phase is comparable with waking up naturally without an alarm clock. Sleep Cycle’s technology tracks sleep patterns through sound and vibration analysis, all from your bedside table or close by on your bedroom floor.
