What apps or tools are you using to support your New Years resolutions?
- 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.
- Nick AllenHead of Marketing at FileInvite | Kiwi
Brilliant for managing all your project backlogs in a Kanban fashion. Including a list for the DIY tasks around the house.
As a Marketer I use this daily to manage workflow, sort ideas around future content and prioritize my activities. My team collaborate and report using handy integrations with Google and we use it as a Customer service and Sales script repository to store links to docs and how-to videos.

Trello has helped me organize my projects for a while now. Since I work as a software engineer. An example of my boards is sort of where I create tasks then I classify them according to their current position on the sprint. For example I have tasks in different cards such as Icebox, Backlog, Current Iteration and Done. I have set deadlines all ranging from 2 weeks to someday :(. Overall a great product!
- 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.
Using Zenkit for a few months now and can't see myself going back to my old tool. The team has done a phenominal job of building an application that addresses the need of power users, light users, and everything in between.

Edited my review to reflect the awesome response time to problem I encountered. Incredible, hard working team and their app reflects the care and dedication they have put into Zenkit. Keep up the great work, Zenkit!
- Aleksandra5Maker @ Tealosophy, Supergirls · 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.

This is amazing so for. It really keeps me going on my task t hand and let me leave my phone totally alone. The idea of growing something (for yourself) because of focussed time, is beautifully illustrated and simply a truth.
I worked 6 hours yesterday, doing 25 minute chunks with 5-10 minutes of breaks in between. It really helped me to get something profound done.
(I am using Android 8.0)hi I found a hack in this app that I can use YouTube and playstore for hours but still the plant is intact and the app is running in background still I love the app and I make my 10 friend's to download the app

I really want to like this PM and possibly leave Flow, but how do you justify $79/month when it's beyond limited. No iOS app, no Mac app, no duplicating tasks, etc., I understand it's BETA, but how does someone justify the price for such a limited tool?
- Seán Marsh ✌️Ethical Business Designer
Really wanted to love this as the functionality would meet a bunch of my needs, but the execution just doesn't match the expectation set by the branding.
Setting styles in the Doc feature is just plain busted. Closing edited docs doesn't always save, with no button to force a save, therefore creating confusion.
The bottom nav layout is awesome, because it's got all things within easy reach - granular tasks, high level overview and all the rest.
Overall, underwhelmed by this and kinda sad it didn't meet the needs I thought it would.
- 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.
- haabeDeveloper @ Snopp Designbyrå
We were looking for a tool to replace Asana, and after initially testing Todoist, became certain it could be the tool for us. But sharing projects is a PITA. There's no easy way to let your team have access to all newly created projects. Also, the projects structure isn't shared, so sharing a new subproject causes havoc in the teammate's projects structure, and the teammate needs to manually configure the projects structure according to it's intended layout.
- MartaFront-end, UI and UX designer
Organize your life with pleasure. Add due date to tasks, tasks inside projects, subprojects and subtasks. Call your friends to join your project and assign tasks for them. Comment and add images on tasks. Have your tasks everywhere with nice apps. Love it.

Doesn't hurt that its absolutely gorgeous.
- Fabulous is awesome! Unlike other apps which takes advantage of psychological quirks to advertise more effectively, Fabulous uses behavioral research coming out of Dan Ariely's lab at Duke University to help you improve yourself!
- Arman NobariDesigner, artist, humanitarian.
I appreciate what Fabulous is trying to do, and I think this direction is actually really interesting. However, bundling "you agree to our TOS by continuing" with the CTA for setting a wake-up time, or using weirdly-worded false choice options ("Yes I want to succeed" for enabling notifications) inherently makes me distrust the intentions and motivations of the app. It feels psychologically manipulative in an opaque way, whereas something like this should - in my opinion - edge towards transparency.
- Kevin Chutech lover and marketer
Have been using this for a bit now, and it's been terrific in helping me stay focused and relaxed. I love the guided sessions called "make me fabulous!"

I wish there were a few more options for organizing completed items or moving items around. For example, I accidentally left an item running on Thursday last week and incorrectly cancelled it today when I meant for it to be complete. I can't now record it as complete for Dec 7.
Can't be used on Android. That's a no-go.
