At the start of every year, we all list what went right and wrong. We all want to improve ourselves in the upcoming year.
With the onset of the New Year, we make resolutions and make promises to do certain things and not repeat the mistakes done in the last year.
Everybody wants to enhance their lifestyles in the New Year. And want to remove all the bad habits they had in last year.
The resolution we take for the New Year we follow strictly for a few initial months, but what happens after that? We get lazy, and we get started with our normal old routine.
And then we forget the resolutions we had taken to improve our lifestyle, such as I will wake up early in the morning every day, I will lose some weight this year, I will exercise every day and much more.
We spend most of our time on mobile phones. Nowadays, we are so addicted to it that we cannot even breathe without it.
Most people want to get away with their mobile addiction but feel helpless and cannot get rid of it quickly. We start feeling that we need to change something about this.
I have a great idea which will help you in both ways.
If you have made the resolutions to improve your lifestyle in the New Year and at the same time you want to change your mobile addiction with a better alternative, then this article will definitely help you.
It will help you to ease your path of resolutions by using some beautiful and essential apps that will enhance your productivity and also help you to make your life better this Year.
We have filled our mobile with many apps which are very common on everybody’s phone, such as YouTube, Google Maps, Music App, Instagram, Facebook, and more.
No doubt that these apps entertain us. But here I will not tell you about the most common apps because even if I won’t say you will have these on your device. And these apps you must have been using for many years.
Best Productivity Apps for Android
So, here is the list of the things you must include in your list of apps with the new year to improve your lifestyle.
You must have on your phone:
1. Strict Alarm App
If you are the kind of person who wants to start a day early in the morning every day and finds it difficult to wake up from bed and of course, you must have used different types of alarm and also you would have slept again by putting it in snooze mode every day.
This year you must have a strict alarm app on your device which will force you to wake up from bed.
Walk Me Up! Alarm Clock
This app is different from other alarm apps. It stops ringing only when you have walked a fixed number of steps. You cannot cheat by shaking the phone.
You have to set up some steps (can set from 10 to 100 steps) you want to walk only then will it stop. So it has the potential to wake up even the laziest person.
2. Exercise Instructor App
At the start of every year, we all pledge to look after our health by exercising/yoga. Everyone wants to stay fit all the time.
But at the end of a month or two, we forget our pledge, and again we go back to the old schedule of not exercising, having no diet plan, etc.
If you have made the resolution to become healthy this year, you can use an instructor app to keep yourself on track throughout the year.

This app is listed among the editor’s choices and awarded Best Productivity App. It has lots of features, such as it gives you a personal diet chart according to your fitness goal.

you can read it anywhere because along with the national and world news, it also covers local area news.
4. Daily Planner App
Successful peoples have one thing in common, and that is discipline. If you want to be successful this year, you must have to define your daily goals or plans, and you must have to stick to it.
For this, initially, you will need some instructor so that you will not get diverted from your path. There are many apps that will help you to achieve this.
Any. do (To-do list, calendar, reminder & tasks)
All these features you will find in one app. Millions of people use this. People also use the GoogleKeep app, but Any.do has more advantages than this.

5. Habit Tracker App
With the start of the New Year, we all want to do away with our bad habits. If you are going to enhance your lifestyle this year, you must keep track of your habits.
Because whatever we are today, it is because of our habits. And we can bring a change in our life when we break bad habits.
Habit Tracker
This app will help you organize your daily life and track your daily habits and routines.
It will also help you remove your bad habits and add good ones to your life. Because it tracks how much time you have wasted on a particular thing.
6. Sleep Cycle Tracker App
Some people always face sleeping problems at night. We all need good sleep at night to wake up fresh in the morning.
If your sleep is not good, the next day the total productivity will be less, and you will feel tired or anxious the whole day. Some people snore at night. Snoring is part of poor sleep.
Sleep Time: Sleep cycle smart alarm clock tracker
This App helps you to sleep better. It analyses the quality of your sleep and detects your snoring. It will help you improve your sleeping habits and resolve your snoring problem.
Anyone can use these six kinds of apps to get on track. I have included the list of additional apps that can be used by students who have made resolutions for their studies and want to change their study pattern this New Year.
8. Note-Making App
Evernote
This is a note-taking app. For a long time, we have been using the same pattern of studies by noting down everything on papers or diaries. You can change this habit this year with Evernote.
