At the end of every year we promise ourselves about the same things: more exercise, less time on the phone, more healthy food, read at least 30 pages of a book a day. But how do we achieve these goals? In tomorrow's edition of HotNews' technology newsletter, Good Tech, you'll find five apps that will help you achieve your goals.

Psychologists describe will as a resource finite: we use it throughout the day for various decisions or self-control, and at some point it simply runs out. When we get home after a long day, the urge to hit the gym or meditate may simply be weaker than the desire to relax, even if the morning's intention was strong.
Studies show that willpower alone is not enough for lasting change: without a concrete plan and without repetition of behavior in a stable context, resolutions are quickly lost.
Habit tracking apps can help you create your best context and be consistent in your lifestyle change. In the Wednesday, December 31, edition of the Good Tech newsletter, you can find five examples of such applications.
