I've never had any success with Resolutions, but last year I set a "yearly theme."

A "theme" provides a loose space for reflection & direction.

My theme for 2020 was "Ship," which unfolded in surprising ways as I shipped http://HomerenterDeclaration.org .

For 2021, my theme is "Build."

Homerenter Declaration

App by KyEqualJustice | Law and government | Federal / National

http://HomerenterDeclaration.org

Build internal systems at @kyequaljustice

Build @kyequaljustice itself (we're facing an increasingly challenging advocacy landscape)

Build power

Build relationships

Build a book from my essays and columns

Build wooden things

Build my body

Build fires

A good yearly theme resonates in multiple areas of your life and that's what I've got with "Build".

I'll be interested to see what "Build" means at the end of 2021, because I didn't have "shipping legal apps" with @LawyerCommunity in mind when I made last year's theme "Ship."

For more on the "yearly theme" as an idea, check out @imyke and @cgpgrey's talk here: https://overcast.fm/+E7b4kA8-g
