Resolutions 2012

There are almost as many apps for keeping track of New Year's resolutions as there are resolutions you've probably made in the past and broken within the first week. Resolutions 2012 though is as helpful a tool as an app can be in helping you stick to your goals this year. You start by putting in a few goals. Either type them in yourself or choose from the dozens of pre-programmed ones placed in five categories: Eating, exercising, mental wellness, economic wellness, and just a general be a better person slot. Once you pick your goals they're listed for you along with tips on how to change habits in order to meet those goals, daily charts for checking off when you've accomplished that goal for the day, and you can even set goals for yourself that offer rewards. Again there are lots of resolution keeper apps for all devices, Resolutions 2012 is an iOS app for 99-cents.

BoomBoom!

If one of your goals for 2012 is to just be nicer and help make the world a better place you may want to check out BoomBoom!. Quite simply, it's a way for you to report on random acts of kindness either you've done or you've seen others do. You give the story a title, write about it, and you can even post a picture for the whole BoomBoom! community to see and comment on. I know, part of the beauty of random acts of kindness is doing them anonymously, but the theory here is if you share your story, and you can still do it anonymously, it will encourage others to follow your lead. If you really get into it there's even a BoomBoom! card game. Each card has a random act you perform for someone and then pass it on. Each card has a unique code so that if you register it on the site, you can see it get passed across the country and how it was used on this Google map. Right now BoomBoom! is an iOS app only and it's free.
