The new year often prompts resolutions around moving more, eating better, sleeping more and reducing digital clutter. A range of devices and services can turn motivation into repeatable habits by tracking progress, nudging behavior or simplifying routines. For workouts, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 offer secure ear hooks, IPX4 sweat resistance, punchy sound and up to nine hours of battery life; the Powerbeats Fit is a smaller alternative.

Price: $200 at Amazon. To stay hydrated, the Hidrate Spark PRO 2 uses a glowing reminder and automatic tracking that syncs to an app. Its vacuum-insulated stainless-steel bottle keeps drinks cold, and the app adjusts targets based on activity and temperature. Price: $80 at Amazon.

Body composition tracking is handled by the Withings Body Comp Smart Scale, which reports weight, muscle mass, fat percentage, water retention and heart rate, then syncs to the Health Mate app for trend tracking. Price: $190 at Amazon. The Nutribullet Ultra is a compact, powerful blender for smoothies, shakes and soups, with stainless-steel blades, BPA-free cups and a simple twist-to-start system for quick, easy meals.

Price: $110 at Wayfair. For digital organization, a 1Password subscription stores logins under one master password, generates strong credentials, autofills across devices and syncs securely with end-to-end encryption. Price: $4/month at 1Password.
