New Year’s Resolutions? There’s an App for That.

We’ve all been there. It’s the start of another year and you’ve made another New Year’s resolution. You tell yourself that it won’t be like the previous year’s resolutions where you forgot about it after a week or two or you weren’t motivated enough to stick with it. Meanwhile, we respond to every notification that comes across our smartphone screens. There’s an app for everything these days, so why not use apps to stick to our new year’s resolutions?
