Yearly Themes 2024: Experiences and Foundation (SH 88)
A Yearly Theme is a high-level idea that guides you throughout a year or season. It's not a resolution. You don't set any specific metrics to achieve. A theme is not to lose X pounds by the end of the year or read Y books this year. It's more of a high-level idea that guides your decisions throughout the year (e.g. Year of Health, Year of Order, Year of Novelty)
In the final episode of 2023, the humans review their themes from last year—Aidan explored "experiences," and Evan focused on "foundation." They share the highlights and challenges from the last 12 months before unveiling their Yearly Themes for 2024. Wrapping up the season with reflections and anticipation for the year ahead.
