2022 is here, and I know I have some major goals for the coming year related
to wellness, health, finances, and family. As you set out to make 2022 your
best year yet, here are some useful apps and services to keep you on track
all year long.
Zero
Fasting is one of the <https://www.zerofasting.com/why-fasting> best habits
you can kick off in 2022, and <https://www.zerofasting.com/> Zero is my
favorite fasting tracker. I've been fasting off and on for a couple of
years, and I plan to stick to 1-2 meals a day in 2022. The more I read about
metabolism, the more I realize that eating/snacking causes our body to
continually digest food, which isn't a good thing. When I really think about
the number of times I'd normally put a bite of food in my mouth, I realized
I was eating 15+ times a day. Fasting helps me focus on eating at preset
times and then avoiding anything that starts up my digestive system.
Zero makes it easy to track your fast, understand what stage your body is
in, as well as create custom options for different types of fasts depending
on the day of the week. I typically will eat lunch on Sunday and then avoid
anything but water and coffee (no cream/sugar) until 2:00 p.m. on Monday.
It might sound like a big departure from your normal routine, but a regular
fasting routine tracked by Zero might be the best habit you can start in
2022.

Strava
There's an old saying: what doesn't get measured doesn't get done. If you're
looking to make running, biking, or walking a habit in 2022, tracking it
with <https://www.strava.com/> Strava is incredibly easy. The free plan
covers the majority of needs. It allows you to connect with friends, monitor
your stats, and make sure you stay active throughout the year.
If you exercise near your house, Strava makes it easy to make the map even
more secure than normal, ensuring that only you can access the location and
route.

Wealthfront
If improving your finances is one of your goals this year,

n%20more%20and%20redeem%20at:%20https/www.wealthfront.com/c/affiliates/invit
ed/AFFA-4XRS-23B0-2MAL> Wealthfront is a service to consider. It allows you
to roll over old 401ks, create new Roth IRAs/traditional IRAs, open 529
accounts (child college funds), and even set up an automatic savings plan.
I've been using Wealthfront for years to save for retirement. If you want to
add exposure to
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/12/27/best-bitcoin-cryptocurrency-apps-iphone/>
Bitcoin through your retirement accounts, the company added support for the
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust last year, so you can have some exposure to Bitcoin
with a few taps. I really enjoy their overall ease of use for managing risk
and setting up automatic investment plans.

Day One
Being mindful to enjoy every day is a great way to focus on the positives of
life. Journaling every day using <https://dayoneapp.com/> Day One is a
great habit to start in 2022. With Day One, you can add photos, audio clips,
text, and more. If your kids say something funny, be sure to document it. If
you hit a milestone with your fitness journey, document it for motivation
later.
Day One provides an easy-to-use interface to log everything through the year
across macOS, iOS, and even watchOS.

Calory
If you have goals related to food and water intake in 2022,
<https://calory.app/> Calory is the app you need to download immediately. It
has one of the best interfaces you'll find for tracking calories throughout
the day. The concept is simple: Set your daily calorie goal, such as 2000,
then log your calories throughout the day to try to stay within your goal.
Calory works with HealthKit, too, so you can view historical data logged in
Apple Health.

Summary
These are just a few of the apps I recommend for staying on track with
fitness, financial, and overall wellness goals in 2022. I've used all of
these apps and can personally recommend them.
