Yearly Themes
“A Theme is like a North Star for your year”
A Yearly Theme, is a single word or short phrase chosen to represent the thing you want more of in your life or the direction you want your year to go. It acts as a broad, guiding “north star” that shapes your choices and decisions across personal and professional areas, without the rigid success/failure structure typical of specific resolutions or numeric goals.
