I usually take the opposite approach. My resolutions are usually a lot smaller, and their theme more practical. I don’t intend to stick with them all year, but I fully intend to make significant progress within a month, and thus set the course for the year.
Some examples from this year: improve my German, cook Indian food, travel with friends. For each of them I have already made a list of actionable first steps, and I have taken many of those steps.
I find a general theme to be both too broad and too narrow. I want many small things, not one big thing.
