This article is simply a brief overview of events in 2017 in Vincent’s life, and does not attempt to document, summarize, or analyze everything. In comparison to 2016, 2017 was less stressful and more productive. Events such as the Bujo Era, the failure of Operation Shamrock, and Todoism/Neo-Todoism led to (partially) successful New Year's resolutions, Cleanarama, and the Wall Folder Revolution.
