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 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)

Last year the humans both set themes to follow (Aidan’s was Year of the Job and Evan’s was Year of Contribution) and now it's time to review how they went and set new themes for 2022!

Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.
