Recite

One of our favorite new tools, Recite lets you turn words (read: resolutions!) into designy type pieces for sharing on social media or for using as inspirational wallpaper on your phone or computer desktop. You can even print them from your computer and pin them around your desk, your bathroom mirror, or even your nightstand to inspire more creativity in your day.

Google Calendar

iCal: We know, we know, these aren’t exactly brand new tools, but sometimes, those tough resolutions need a drill sergeant to help make them happen. By using any one of a number of calendar apps, you can add resolution reminders to your daily schedule. Resolutions as simple as spending 5 minutes outside in the middle of a workday or reading a book for 15 minutes before bed can easily become part of your routine. If you’re feeling extra excited about calendaring your resolutions, make sure to turn on alerts!

And, in case you missed it last year, here are our creative resolutions from 2012, sure to inspire some good creative energy in 2013 as well. Did any of you follow through on any of these?
