The Theme System ensures you stay on track with your Yearly Theme by providing a simple framework for daily journaling.
It is designed to be adaptable to meet your individual needs and goals.
Let us show you
What is a 'Yearly Theme'?
Instead of setting resolutions at the start of the year, you set an overall idea of how you would like to approach each year or season. This then becomes a guide for your personal and/or professional life throughout that period.
Ideally, you would also think of what the ideal outcome is for a set period of time and some key actions you would like to complete. This helps you maintain focus throughout the year when considering new projects.
