I& #39;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"> http://HomerenterDeclaration.org .

For 2021, my theme is "Build."

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛠" title="Hammer und Schraubenschlüssel" aria-label="Emoji: Hammer und Schraubenschlüssel"> Build @kyequaljustice itself (we& #39;re facing an increasingly challenging advocacy landscape)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Erhobene Faust" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust"> Build power
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨‍👩‍👦‍👦" title="Normale Familie (Mann, Frau, Junge, Junge)" aria-label="Emoji: Normale Familie (Mann, Frau, Junge, Junge)"> Build relationships
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📗" title="Grünes Buch" aria-label="Emoji: Grünes Buch"> Build a book from my essays and columns

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps"> Build my body
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer"> Build fires

A good yearly theme resonates in multiple areas of your life and that& #39;s what I& #39;ve got with "Build".

I& #39;ll be interested to see what "Build" means at the end of 2021, because I didn& #39;t have "shipping legal apps" with @LawyerCommunity in mind when I made last year& #39;s theme "Ship."
