January often arrives with a whirlwind of activity, from putting away holiday decorations and returning to work, compounded by the pressure of New Year’s resolutions. This first week can feel challenging. However, by taking a moment to gather the right resources, it transforms into an ideal time to strategically map out the months ahead.

My past approach involved stressing over starting super strong, precisely on January 1st. Now, I apply the logic of marathon training (I’ve run five!): you never begin a 26.2-mile run with a sprint, you go slow and gradually build momentum. The same principle applies to New Year preparation.

To support your year-long (or even just short-term) resolutions, we’ve gathered 16 goal-oriented recommendations from our editors. From handy habit trackers to vision board kits, these are the best productivity products to start your new year on the right track. It’s never too late to get planning.
