This post covers the coolest gadgets out there to help you fulfill your New Year’s resolutions in 2024.
If you’re over the age of oh, I don’t know, 10, you’ve likely experienced the demise of a New Year’s resolution or two. The more serious and lofty the goal, the faster it seems to slip out of your overly optimistic grasp.
Forbes lists the 10 most popular New Year’s resolutions for 2024, and not a one will surprise you. You’ve probably made at least half of them for yourself at one point in time. They mostly revolve around improving fitness, finances, and mental health. Weight loss, not surprisingly, makes the cut, too.
Why do we keep making the same self-promises every year? It’s mostly because we’re not completing the goals we set for ourselves. But let’s make a pact: This year will be different. To help you stay on target, I’ve shopped some fun tools that’ll motivate and inspire you to fulfill those important resolutions for the new year.
The best tools to keep those New Year’s resolutions
Consider pair one or more of the gadgets below with a goal-setting app that holds you accountable. Then, head into the new year with complete confidence that you’re going to kill it.
1. To get up earlier
If you’ve been known to snooze the iPhone alarm a few too many times, you might benefit from a slow-rolling sunrise clock. The clock gently wakes you with a gradual light increase that begins five to 60 minutes before you’re supposed to get up. It also includes a catalog of sounds and a diffused nightlight to help you fall asleep.
Reacher’s sunrise clock has tons of functionality to improve your sleep and wake cycles, but it’s also beautifully designed. The simple and sleek combo of wood grain and LED display will look amazing on your nightstand.
2. To use your gym membership
If you’re looking to instill some gym time into your weekly routine, a functional water bottle can be a nice motivator. The one shown above by Hydrarank includes a sleeve with pockets. That gives you a nice place to stash keys, your phone, headphones, and more. Most importantly, having water at the ready keeps you hydrated throughout your session.
3. To eat right
If food prepping is on the January agenda to aid in weight loss or just proper portioning, a cute kitchen scale is what you need. You might as well dole out your proteins, fruits, and veggies in style, yes?
This pretty scale by Xmuajy is pretty enough to leave out on the counter 24/7. That’ll be a nice reminder to keep you from over-doing it with the serving spoon.

4. To get more done
Check your schedule and pencil in all new excitement with a conveniently sized planner that feels better in your hand than any device. Jot down your goals and to-dos, or fill the pages with details of your perfect lifestyle. There’s like a vivid, hand-written description of what you’re working towards to keep you motivated.
This pretty little book can handle it all. Even better, it’s far more appealing to the eye than an app.
5. To make more money
What better way to keep your goals top-of-mind than a stylish reminder you can wear? This darling sterling silver charm slips onto your favorite charm bracelet or a dainty silver chain. Put it on everyday with a smile and feel grateful for your present and the amazing future that awaits.
6. To be more mindful
The thinking egg from Orijin can help you reach your meditation and mindfulness goals in 2024. Hold the little egg in your hand — it’s quite small — and feel the calming effects of the egg in your palm. You might be inclined to take the eggs with you wherever you go, like Adele does with crystals.
Four eggs in the set are made from different elements and each has its own effect on the body. Lava stone is for strength, brass is for revitalization, howlite stone relieves anxiety, and bamboo improves concentration.
To 2024 and beyond
Let the upcoming year be the time you check off some of those to-dos in a measurable way. With a little grit and motivation, you can look forward to being healthier and happier by year-end.
