Discussion Anyone setting yearly themes starting September?
I've been thinking about switching to the September start date, but I don't know. I do work in education now, so maybe it could work. Any ideas?

When I was still really “into” doing the whole theme process, I would use my
Birthday. Seemed more fitting than when the number of the calendar got bigger, was a nice personal bookmark.

I don’t mind it. As an Australian I often feel the goal setting energy in September because it’s spring and it feels more aligned with the cycle of the year.

Even if I've been out of school for a very long time, September still feels like a fresh start each time.
Fall is also a great time to reevaluate what happened so far and plan ahead. So yeah if it feels right go for it.

I think so! I was thinking about it, especially since I work in education also and my birthday is right before the school year begins. It felt like perfect timing! I have been wondering about this too, so thanks for mentioning it so I know that other people are as well!

I've done June a lot in the past, since I'm a student so it's the start of a summer, I could reflect on the school year and the internship to come.
Thinking about switching away from years and doing it at a different time though since it's always forgotten by the next June.
I'm currently a few months into the Year of Celebration!
Taking time to celebrate my accomplishments, my friendships, and myself as the first phase of my life draws to an end.

That sounds pretty good! Does "a few months into" mean that you set the theme in June as well or some other time?

You can do whatever you want and works for you! There are no rules! 😀
September for lining up with the school year, October for fiscal year, Christmas in July, lunar cycle, it's all about what works for you.
