What apps or tools are you using to support your New Years resolutions?
I've been making a point to get more organized, and have found a combination of Airtable, Bear, and Things 3 to work just about perfectly.
More specifically, I've wanted to learn game development for a while, so I finally jumped on a few courses on Udemy. The tutorials are fantastic, but I've also been really surprised by how well thought out the Udemy platform is, lots of great touches that make learning and interacting with the instructor/community so much easier.

- Saalik LokhandwalaLover of ideas, lifetime learner · WrittenI use a Trello board to keep track of my resolutions. In fact, I have "Dream Board" which I update every year to check on how I've done, adding my new resolutions. It's cool to see what I've accomplished with it too.
- Patrick Schüller7Marketing/SEO @Zenkit · WrittenZenkit is a project management app that offers many different views on your data like the mind-map view, kanban board, spreadsheet, list, and calendar. It is also great for personal goal setting. You can, for example, measure your daily or weekly tasks in a kanban-board or check them off in a task-list. Disclaimer: I work at Zenkit.
- Aleksandra5Maker @ Cittalabs, Tealosophy · WrittenI put my resolutions into the Habit List and it really helps me to keep track of how I'm keeping to them (daily, weekly, monthly analytics). The limitation is that you can add mostly actionable items like 'go for a run', ' do morning meditation' or 'reading 100 pages a day'. It does not help to track resolutions like 'improve emotional well-being', 'improve relationships', etc.
- Diego Jimenez3Principal Product Designer @LonelyPlanet · EditedForest has been one of my favorite discoveries lately. It helps you focus your attention, on both your phone and your computer, for a given period of time. On top of that, the more you use it, the more money they donate to plant real trees, which is great.

- Joanna PedrinaAtlas User Ops, Stripe · WrittenA lot of people like Trello over Todoist. But I like a simple to do list by day, with tasks I can easily reprioritize and reschedule, and tags by topic so I can look different areas of my life separately. This tool really does the trick for me.Nora ConradOwner of NoraConrad.com · WrittenI have each goal as a project and then tasks to get me to that goal all scheduled out in ToDoist. It's been huge for getting sh*t done.
