Conquer your New Year’s resolutions with the best tech

December 20, 2024|

Just when you’ve managed to survive the holidays, the New Year arrives to kick your life back into high gear. Take a breather and think of what you’d like to accomplish over the next twelve months. Do you want to improve your health? Learn a new language? Spend more time with loved ones? We’ve got the tools to help.

It’s a new year and a new you. Here’s how you can knock out your resolutions using the latest tech and powerful AI features.

Step 1: Define your goals

All resolutions start somewhere. Whatever accomplishments you want to work toward this year, write them down. Even better, use your 5G smartphone to track, edit, and manage them. The Google Pixel 9 series, for example, comes with powerful AI tools, like Gemini.

Do you want to improve your fitness? Polish up your guitar playing? Build tiny picnic tables for your local squirrel population? Use Gemini 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.

Step 2: Refine your routin Getting on track means getting into solid habits. Staying organized and intentional about your goals will be key.

The latest iPhone 16 series phones come with 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 your calendar and sync it across all your devicesInclude notes and pertinent info so you don’t have to look for itSet reminders for important events, meetings, and deadlinesDeclutter your tech and move data to the cloud or secure storage

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.

Step 3: Prioritize your personal wellness

Staying healthy is important all year long. AI tools, like those available with Samsung Galaxy S24 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 Watch7 or Google Pixel Watch 3. 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.

Step 4: Focus up

If gaining a little serenity is your goal for the new year, managing stress in your day to day is easier with AI.

Reduce distractions

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.

Quiet mental noise

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.

Get better sleep

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.

Step 5: Hit new heights

The new year is the perfect time to try your hand at something you’ve never done, and AI can make achieving those goals more effortless.

Travel to new places

The world is waiting. But if you’re worried about visiting an unfamiliar locale without knowing the language, you’re in luck. Google’s Live Translation feature on Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S24 series phones can bridge the communication gap during your trip.

Take brilliant photos

You don’t have to dish out major money for a new camera to master new photography skills. Your smartphone can get the job done. Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL come with advanced triple cameras and AI editing tools, like Add Me and Best Take. You’ve got 365 days to keep your New Year’s resolutions.
