The beginning of the new year motivates me. Something about a new beginning. The promise of a better year ahead. The chance to start over. Like most people, I always enjoy a fresh start and a chance to make life better. What about you? Are you making resolutions and setting goals for 2012?
The good news is we’re not alone; technology is on our side. Use a Smartphone to track goals and stay motivated this year.
