The New Year always starts with good intentions. You’ll eat better. You’ll stay organized. You’ll finally get ahead of the little things that somehow pile up every single day.
And then suddenly it’s February: your fridge is chaotic, the sink is full again, and you’re wondering how everything got so messy so fast.
Instead of aiming for a full personality overhaul, the resets that actually stick tend to be smaller — the kind that quietly make everyday life easier without asking you to try harder.
Whirlpool is rooted in exactly that: making the everyday feel easier, so you can spend more time enjoying the moments that actually matter.
Here are three New Year refresh hacks that can help set the tone for the year ahead.
Make meal prep feel possible (not like a Sunday personality trait)

Meal prep sounds great until your fridge turns into a graveyard of half-used containers and forgotten leftovers. If you can’t see what you’ve made, chances are you’re not eating it.
Having a fridge that actually fits your life makes a difference. With the space and flexible organization of Whirlpool®’s French Door Refrigerator, it’s easier to bulk buy, stack containers, and actually see what you’ve planned for the week. When everything’s in front of you instead of buried in the back, eating at home suddenly feels way more achievable.
Bonus: having cold water and ice right in the door makes staying hydrated one less thing to think about during busy days.
Let your kitchen reset itself (instead of turning into a weekend project)

There’s something about a clean kitchen that makes everything else feel more under control. But scrubbing baked-on messes with harsh cleaners isn't how anyone wants to spend their downtime.
Whirlpool®’s Smart Electric Range is built to make everyday cleanups effortless — the kind that involves spills, splatters, and “I’ll clean that later” moments. Being able to wipe everyday messes away with just water means cleanup stops feeling like a chore you’re constantly putting off.
Features like No Preheat Air Fry and Rapid Preheat also make weeknight dinners faster and more enjoyable, which adds up when you’re cooking multiple times a week.

One of the easiest ways to make mornings feel calmer is waking up to a clear sink. No dishes staring back at you before coffee. No “I’ll deal with it later” energy before the day even starts.
Whirlpool®’s Dishwasher takes care of the end-of-day cleanup so you don’t have to think about it. With thorough cleaning across all three racks, you can load it up, press start, and actually trust that everything will come out clean the first time.
When the dishwasher opens automatically to let fresh air in, it’s one of those small details you barely notice until you realize you’re no longer towel-drying dishes at 7 a.m.
New Year resets don’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. By simplifying the everyday stuff, Whirlpool helps create space for the moments that actually make life feel good, whether that’s a slower morning, a home-cooked meal, or just one less thing on your to-do list.
