The year is almost over, and it’s time to once again ponder the past 365 days. At this time of the year, we take the time to look back at the positive and negative, the highs and the lows, and look for ways to improve upon the things that we would like to change.
We took a group of men and women between the ages of 30 and 45, and asked them their New Year’s resolution. We were surprised to find out that, overall, the resolutions were very basic. Below are the top 5 resolutions that were mentioned. They are what each of us probably wants to do, and 24me can help you persevere after the normal routine returns.
#1: Exercise
Many of the people we surveyed define themselves as lazy with regards to exercise. With busy work lives and busier home lives, going to the gym — or even out for a run — is a chore. They would much rather stay in bed on the computer, or on the couch, or be there for their kids. Leaving everything to go to the gym or out for a run — no matter how healthy everyone says it is and how much it’ll help their lifestyle — is not something that people are always capable of.
Research shows that exercise is good for almost every aspect of our lives. It helps with depression by raising endorphins, increases brain activity which helps with memory, and even reduces stress. 24me is a great tool to remind you to go out for a run, or to the gym. Create a daily repeating task to go to the gym, and feel the empowerment every time you are able to swipe off the task. You can even schedule weekly zumba classes alongside running or leg workouts.
#2 Balance a checkbook
Although no one uses a checkbook anymore, with the economy at its current state it is difficult for our users to keep themselves in the black. Spending beyond their means, however unintentional, is only momentarily satisfying. Getting the bank statement in the mail: not so much.
One way to make sure to keep in the black is to know your bill payments and make them on time. 24me’s My Links connects to thousands of providers and hundreds of financial institutions. Once a provider is connected, the 24me lets you know what day the bill has to be paid, and how much, already keeping a part of users’ budgets balanced for them. Not only that, but users can pay their bills right from the app. With a few taps, you gain control over your bills.
#3 Spend time with loved ones
Although family and friends are the highlight of our users’ lives, balancing schedules makes it difficult to find time to even talk to them on the phone, let alone visit them and spend time together.
Take the time at the beginning of the month to plan gatherings. Create an event on 24me and invite those special people. You can specify location, time, and even add a note (maybe a reminder to dress in funny hats). This way, everyone has the date booked in their calendar, and planning in advance makes sure that no double-booking happens.
But no matter how much you try, there are always those loved ones that live too far away to meet with more than once a year, if that. To express your care for them, you can use 24me’s Gift Store to send a beautiful gift for any occasion: birthday, anniversary, or just because.
#4 Eat right
Who doesn’t have a stash of candy hidden somewhere around the house? Or that urge to buy junk food instead of wholesome ingredients for a balanced meal? Many of our users face those problems every day. Eating right is a skill that is not easily acquired. It takes careful planning, holding back, and strong motivation.
One way to help is to create a shopping list beforehand. Create a “Grocery List” task, and add all the healthy things that you want to buy as notes. Sticking to a healthy list will help keep you from straying. If this isn’t enough to prevent you from succumbing to your junk food cravings, share the list with a friend, and have them do the grocery shopping for you. Your roommate/partner will be able to withstand the call of the candy aisle better than you will.
#5 Never miss a birthday
People are forgetful creatures. They forget everything from where they left their sunglasses (on their heads) to what they wanted the next words out of their mouth to be. These incidents usually lead to jokes about getting old or embarrassing stories, but when that forgetfulness leads to forgetting people’s birthdays, things get personal.
24me easily reminds users about their friends’ birthdays. Not only can you create a yearly repeating task, but by linking to Facebook, users get a daily view of all their friends’ birthdays. For a personal touch without the hassle, users can even post to their friends’ walls from within the app, or celebrate by sending a beautiful gift.
If you have resolution that 24me has helped you with, we would love to know. Write them in the comments below.
Happy New 2014!
This Christmas We Are Giving to Charity.
Many of us have no idea what it’s like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink — even the water in our toilets is clean!
But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand Filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
Christmas is a time for giving, and we decided to help Charity:Water build these types of projects around the world, and we need your help.
Starting Today – December 16th until December 31st 2013:
Profits from Gifts you buy through 24me will be donated to Charity:Water.
100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects.
Help us give clean water to people around the world.

We at 24me have been brought together by our love for useful apps that have changed our world and the need to create one ourselves. As a team whose mission is to help people better manage their lives, we are always thrilled when we find apps that solve a real problem. We thought to share with you some apps that each of us use on a daily basis.

Summer break has finally come to an end, and we all know what that means, that’s right it’s time to take of those Ray Bans and stop tanning because it’s back to school time.
Going back to school can be a big pain in the errr, well you know what I mean. Expect tests, labs, and assignments to be assigned pretty quickly after starting the new school year. With all this work it’s no reason you’re not looking forward to start school.
Not to worry though, because 24me has come up with 5 tips so you can survive those back-to-school blues.
#1 Schedule Courses
As a full-time student you have at least three classes a week. Add that on top of extracurriculars — sports, clubs, fraternities and sororities to name a few– and you get one busy schedule.
With 24me you can easily turn your hectic week into an easy and organized schedule. Instead of showing up to classes late (or even worse, missing them completely) you can make sure to keep your life organized.
Steps:
The same can be done for assignment due dates. You can skip the 3rd step and just put in all your assignments so you never forget a due date.
#2 Collaborate & Share Tasks
College life can be hard and nobody should have it do it alone. With 24me’s task sharing working together with your friends, roommates and classmates has never been easier!
How to Share a Task:
Three Ways Task Sharing Can Help!
#3 Wish Friends a Happy Birthday
College is a time to make connections. In the hundreds of hours you spend with people you will meet a whole lot of new people, many who will become friends. But remembering all their birthdays is an impossible feat. 24me can remind you of birthdays of old friends and new.
How to Greet Friends:
Are there people you would like to give an actual gift to but can’t because of the distance? With 24me, you can send them a gift – from flowers to chocolates to gift cards – from 24me’s gift store. Create a gift task or choose a birthday and get ready to bring a smile to their face.
How to Send Gifts:
#4 Pay Your Bills
While the freedom of leaving home can be incredible we also know about the dangers of living independently. With a full-time course load, extracurriculars as well as maintaining some kind of social life paying the bills can be a bit… overwhelming.
24me allows you to link your expenses to your service providers (cell phone, gas, electricity, etc.) so that you never have to worry about the headache of individually paying each and every one of your bills separately. Once properly connected and set-up, 24me pays your bills on time so that you never have to worry about late bills and any unwanted stress!
How to link providers:
Just seeing a bill is not the best part. If you link your credit bank or bank account, you can pay with a single tap!
How to link financials:
#5 Make your life easier with TaskRabbit
We believe in the saying “Do what you do best and outsource the rest”, so why not make your life a little easier? Have someone to buy your groceries when you are busy studying for finals, get help with cleaning your apartment, or find a friendly handyman to fix something in your time of need. You can even get some virtual assistance such as proofreading your essay or having someone research a topic for you. All of which can be done remotely.
Why use Task Rabbit through 24me?
24me helps you see the “bigger picture” and when you have to worry about class, assignments, and a social life in addition to managing your paid chores it makes sense to have everything under one simple app!

One of the most requested features had arrived: Recurring Tasks. With this new functionality, you can now set how frequently tasks should repeat and 24me reminds when those tasks are due.
24me’s recurring tasks provide a solution for managing recurring to-do’s.
Here is how Recurring Tasks works:
Simply tap on the “Time” Attribute of a specific task:
Set a due date, due time, reminder time and the occurrence: Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly.
Recurring Tasks are marked with a small recurring icon on the main screen.
Swiping on a Recurring task prompts you to decide whether the swipe should apply to the entire series or only that task.
After setting a recurring task, all occurrences of the task are listed under their respective date. They have the same name, priority, labels and notes.
Enjoy 24me!
