Setting a goal is not limited to the beginning of the new year; it’s a journey that can start at any time. The essence of making a resolution is about personal growth and positive change, regardless of the date. And so, while 2024 may already be two weeks in, you can still commit to turning over a new leaf and set a goal.

If one of your objectives this year is to become more productive or efficient, the following tools from Google can help you achieve your goals:

  1. Bard: Don’t know what to start doing for the new year? You can try asking Bard–it’ll pump out some generic thought-starter aspirations or 2024 resolutions, which you can tailor-fit to your life or goals.
  2. Google Search: Of course, there’s always Google Search. You know how to make the most of it by searching for topics, articles, and content related to your goals, which can help you expand your horizon or learn new skills.
  3. Google Docs: If you’re not yet using Google Docs regularly, this is a good time to let it change your professional (and personal) life. Use it to create documents to outline your plans, write vision boards, or develop strategies for achieving your goals, which you can access from anywhere and any device with your Google account.
  4. Google Calendar: This cloud-based calendar and scheduling app can be accessed from any device. Use it to set goals for yourself and schedule milestones or deadlines to keep yourself on track, giving you a tangible timetable for your biggest goals and dreams. And just like with Docs, you can also share your calendar with others who can cheer you up and help you stay motivated.
  5. YouTube & Shorts: If one or more of your resolutions involve learning or mastering something new, you can watch educational videos or tutorials to gain new knowledge and develop your skills. Or if you just want to figure out how to organize your life better, you can follow inspiring creators for finance, life, and productivity hacks such as Coach Lyqa, Abbey Sy, and Thea Sy Bautista.
  6. Google Keep: Level up your note-taking skills by going digital. Google Keep allows you to quickly and easily create bite-sized notes and lists to brainstorm ideas, track progress on goals, and capture important information.
  7. Google Sheets: What’s better than your usual spreadsheet software? How about spreadsheets you can open from anywhere? Google’s cloud-based tools like Sheets let you create spreadsheets that help you stay on top of and organized with everything you need to do, charting everything numerically or visually with all the must-have features. If you’re heavy on data and numbers, Sheets makes for a great way to crunch the stats in a way that you like.
  8. Gmail: If your 2024 resolution is to be a better and more efficient family member or officemate, it’s time to be better with email. With Gmail and its natural links to other Google tools such as Docs, Drive, and Calendar, you can master the art of communicating with others involved in your plans, share documents, and set reminders for important tasks.
  9. Google Drive: Store your planning documents, notes, and resources and organize them all in one central location for easy access.
  10. Safer with Google: A fundamental aspect of productivity and efficiency is keeping all your online accounts and apps protected. Maximize all the easy-to-use tools and products from Google to keep your digital life private and secure. From Gmail to Chrome, every Google product is designed for safety. Using Privacy and Password Checkup regularly will help you stay safer online. =
