Your First Theme

Once you have highlights in your library, you can generate a Theme — a 4-week growth focus grounded in your own reading.

Note

Themes are part of The Academy. You’ll need at least 25 highlights in your language before you can generate one.

Generate Themes

1. Go to the Themes section in the web app.
2. Click Generate Themes.
3. Becoming’s AI will analyze your highlights and propose several candidate Themes.

Note

Theme generation runs in the background. It usually takes under a minute depending on how many highlights you have.

Review Your Themes

Each proposed Theme includes:

• A name — A concise label for the growth focus.
• A description — What this Theme is about and why your highlights point to it.
• Sample Practices — Examples of the daily actions you’ll be doing.

Pick a Theme

Choose the Theme that resonates most. You commit to one Theme at a time — this focus is what makes the practice effective.

Start Practicing

Once you pick a Theme, you’ll receive daily Practices. Each Practice takes 2–5 minutes and comes in two types:

• Reflect — Sit with an idea from your highlights and internalize it.
• Practice — Try something in your real life that embodies the idea.

There’s no pressure. If you skip a day, the Theme adapts. It’s designed to fit your life.

What Happens Next

• After 4 weeks, your Theme completes. You can generate new Themes from fresh highlights or revisit past ones.
