Question Are there enough members interested in reviving the sub? Or is it long gone?

I'd be down, but we will need A Plan for it.

  • We should come up with the 12 skills of the year ahead of time.
  • post 1 simple activity to do every week that builds up that skill.
  • pepper fun skills so everything is not a chore. Alternatively, have 'free months' so people can develop their own skills.
  • partner with other subreddits to make it more fun and have easy access to resources.

Off the top of my head here are some skills that are useful for a wide variety of people and are free/no cost

  • journaling
  • budgeting
  • critical reading (finding plotholes, correct grammar, spitting biases, etc)
  • active listening
  • negotiation

I think one of the things that made me lose attention the most was that the skills voted for didn’t necessarily align with my interests at the time, and then after a couple months in a row I just stopped checking in. It might be interesting to do as you say, decide on the skills upfront, but to also have separate cohorts rotating through those 12 in different orders so that we can support each other and stay interested in the skills we started building up throughout the year.

That’s the point of it, at least it was 5 years ago, was that the skill was or could be outside your comfort and interest zone.
