+title: 'New Project Launch: Innerhelm'
+description: Exploring agency thinking via a new blog and newsletter
+date: 2024-02-05 12:00:00
+---
+
+At the start of last year, I had two side-project goals.
+
+The first was [starting this blog](/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. (I'm hoping to write
+more frequently this year.)
+
+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 new project to be different. At the
+beginning of 2023, my plan was that it would be an opinionated values-based
+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 an interesting concept: _agency thinking_.
+
+I decided to start a blog and newsletter, which I've named
+[Innerhelm](https://innerhelm.com), to explore agency thinking further. (I got
+the landing page and subscription form up on December 30th---accomplishing my
+goal of launching in 2023. 😅)
+
+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
+[subscribing](https://innerhelm.com/#newsletter)! You can also check out the
+newsletters I've sent so far:
+
+1. [Sincerity, growth, and hope](https://innerhelm.com/newsletters/sincerity-growth-and-hope/)
+2. [A history and a hypothesis](https://innerhelm.com/newsletters/a-history-and-a-hypothesis/)
+3. [Why “agency thinking”?](https://innerhelm.com/newsletters/why-agency-thinking/)
+
+Additionally, I've written a post on the Innerhelm blog capturing
+[the journey that led me to start this project](https://innerhelm.com/posts/where-innerhelm-began/).
