Conquer your New Year’s resolutions with the best tech

The new year is celebrated as a chance to restart, an opportunity to approach the coming months with energy and optimism. While post-holiday fatigue and the ghosts of past resolutions left unresolved try to distract you, remember that 2026 is The Year of Doing. This year, we don’t just daydream about our goals, we do something about them. We do it bolder and better with the right tools and tech to make it happen. From smartphones built for AI, to tablets that streamline your business processes in the office or on the go, and watches with insights to improve your health, it’s easier than ever to stop waiting and get doing.

All resolutions start somewhere. Whatever accomplishments you want to work toward this year, write them down. Even better, use your smartphone to track, edit, and manage them. The Google Pixel 10 series, for example, is built for powerful AI tools, like Gemini. Use it to help define and document your goals without looking for a pen. It can help you research, summarize your thoughts, and even find or create images for inspiration. Change or add to your list whenever you need to.

After a hectic holiday season, the last thing you probably want to do is sort through the clutter and starting fresh in the new year. You can optimize your days and workflow but using the AI tools available on your phone. The latest iPhone 17 series phones are built for Apple Intelligence, which uses personalized context to better understand your needs. Siri also draws on Apple Intelligence to let you take control in and across apps. Here are some easy ways you can use Siri and Apple Intelligence to stay on top of your resolutions in the days ahead.

Use it to monitor your goals – whether it’s saving money or writing the novel you’d always planned – provide insight, and keep you updated on your milestones.

Staying healthy is important all year long. But keeping your resolutions can be tough without any help. AI tools, like those available with Samsung Galaxy S25 series devices, make it easier to stay motivated and chart your progress. With Galaxy AI, you get more in-depth insight to help you be your best self.

Pair your phone with a Samsung Galaxy Watch8 or Google Pixel Watch 4. Your fitness stats are put front and center. Count your steps, see your heart rate, and more. You can also share your stats, set activity reminders, receive calls and texts, and play music without missing a step.

And for more nutritious meals at home, use Google Circle to Search to find ingredients and new recipes centered around the food already in your kitchen.

If gaining a little peace of mind is your goal for the new year, you've got a lot of options for tuning out the noise and tuning into relaxation.

Your phone’s AI can assist you with staying focused by blocking visual alerts or setting your phone to Do Not Disturb for a set period of time.

Have your AI assistant act as your yoga coach, with timers for each position and helpful suggestions for stretches to keep you relaxed and limber. You can even ask for guidance through breathing and meditation exercises.

Use your phone’s AI to help you get to sleep faster by dimming your display or setting reminders to minimize your screen time at night. Search for calming music or white noise videos for relaxation and deeper, more restful sleep.

Home is where the heart is and it's time to show the love. Make your living space a thing of beauty and inspiration using tech and the latest features available to you.

Whether you're refreshing a coffee table or taking on a full bathroom renovation yourself, it helps to study up. Whenever the urge strikes to put up floor to ceiling bookshelves, taking a tablet with you will put how-to resources right at your fingertips. Light and portable, they can fit with you into most tight spaces, while bight, high def displays ensure you can see tutorial videos in perfect detail.

If thorough internet research and your best attempts don't pan out, there's no shame in contacting an expert. But you know that home repairs can cost a ton, so finding not just the best deal but the best contractor is important. Use the AI system of your choice to filter reviews, search for specialists, and even price services right from your phone. Go on and get doing in 2026. With some help from AI and the best tech in-store at your local  nearest Cellular Sales, you can make it a Happy Do Year.
