I haven’t done a word of the year before, mainly because I couldn’t think of a word that really grabbed me as a guide for a year. However, I’m giving it a try this year, and my word is Finish.
I left a lot of things undone over the last few years – WIPs, online classes started and not completed, half-read books still on my bedstand – that sort of thing. So this year I am going to get back to finishing things.
That doesn’t necessarily mean following through on every single thing I start to completion. I may well start something and realize it isn’t for me. But in those cases, I will give the book away, unravel the project, whatever it is that finishes it.
This is a new thing for me, but it will be helpful. Will I be able to keep up with this and build a new habit? I hope so!
For those who have done a word of the year, how did it go for you? Would you do it again?

Good luck. I’ve never done a word but your concept of finishing in whatever way that works sounds doable.

I hope so! I do have a tendency to just let things drift, which I really shouldn’t do.

“Finish” is a great word! I hope it helps you to get partially-completed items done, whatever that looks like. (Because I completely agree with you — frogging an item is not the same as finishing knitting it, but it will still “finish” the project.)
My word for this year is “care.” I need to focus on taking actual steps to care (for myself and others) instead of just hunkering down to survive the next 4 years of horrid politics here in the US.

Care is a great word! I like the different meanings – caring for yourself and others, caring about important issues – that will be a really good one for this year ❤

Thank you! I’m hoping the dual meaning helps me to stay grounded and not get overwhelmed.

finish feels like a good word. It might mean finish it = get it done OR finished with it = not interesting in actually finishing. Enjoy the process.
