title: Launching a new project ⛵ | ||

||
At the start of last year, I had two side-project goals. | ||
|
||
The first was to start this blog. I completed that goal | ||
[on March 16](/posts/obligatory-hello-world/). I haven't been the most frequent | ||
or consistent blogger since then, but it's been a nice occasional outlet for my | ||
thoughts. I especially enjoyed writing the two long-form posts I wrote last | ||
year: ["Free Lunches in Frontend Dev"](/posts/software/free-lunches/) and | ||
["Certainty and Uncertainty as Elements of | ||
Faith"](/posts/faith/certainty-and-uncertainty-as-elements-of-faith/). By the | ||
numbers, I've written 16,685 words on this blog since it started, and | ||
[16 posts](/posts/)---about 1.5 posts per month on average. | ||
|
||
My second goal was to launch _something_ relating to helping people live | ||
intentionally and meaningfully. I've been interested in how software can do that | ||
since 2017, when I decided to add a psychology minor to my computer science | ||
studies at Brigham Young University. This interest has taken me in a few | ||
different directions since then, including a handful of side projects that never | ||
got off the ground, but I wanted this one to be different. At the beginning of | ||
2023, my plan was that it would be a journaling app with a blog explaining the | ||
principles and philosophy behind it, but as I read more about intentional living | ||
last summer, my thinking crystallized around a core idea: _agency thinking_. | ||
|
||
I decided to start a blog and newsletter, which I've named | ||
[Innerhelm](https://innerhelm.com), to explore the concept of agency thinking | ||
further. | ||
|
||
Innerhelm’s goal, as stated on its landing page, is to find answers to this | ||
question: | ||
|
||
> **How can agency thinking be cultivated in oneself and in others?** | ||
If this concept and question are interesting to you, please consider | ||
