I love Specificity for a guiding word for you and happy to see you're working to hop off the hamster wheel of toxic productivity. Self care is everything friend. I'm so glad you mentioned your author website (perfect, clean, and I like parallax scrolling as a viewer and aesthetically). My word is Clarity, and I'm finding I have more thinking to do about how to "clarify" my goals. Happy 2024!

I am also a reflector, planner, and goal setter. I have landed on one special word since 2015, but this year I’ve floundered settling on “Renew,” but something doesn’t feel quite right. I appreciated your conclusion, it’s all learning. Learning to live with purpose and intention. Happy New Year!

Renew is a great word! But if it doesn't feel right, maybe another word will come to you as the year goes on. No rule saying you can't change your word! Happy New Year!
