What is a Theme?

If you don’t know what a theme is, I recommend you watch CGP Grey

Basically, the TLDR is that instead of New Year’s resolutions, a theme is an aspect that you want to focus on for the year. It can be flexibile and adapt to your situation throughout the year, but provides a central idea to nudge yourself towards.

My theme for 2022 is Exploration

Exploration 🤠

In the last couple of months, I had two significant changes in my life:

  1. I had a daughter 👶
  2. I quit my corporate job to take a work sabbatical and became a stay-at-home dad

I picked the exploration theme because I want to try a bunch of things now that I have more time in this new lifestyle.

Goals

My initial goals in no particular order for this year:

  • Explore Family: Be present while my daughter’s growing up
  • Explore Business: A laser-cutting service
  • Explore Community: Daddy and Me group for a community of dads focussed on family
  • Explore Creatively: Self-publish an escape-room book
  • Explore Passion: Hone my teaching skills through blogging and video tutorials
  • Explore Literally: At least one east-coast Canada trip and one international trip

PS: Travelling depends on state of the world 🤷

That’s a lot to bite, and some may fall through the cracks. But it’s fun to think about and I believe I can make at least some progress on these items.

Explore Together
