I’m not a huge fan of massive habit-altering new year's resolutions—personally, I feel that creating drastic goals during the holidays can cause us to misjudge our capabilities—I can only speak for myself, but I usually drum up ideas for self-improvement when I’m done eating my ''third'' helping of pie. Only then would I ambitiously hope to walk 20,000 steps a day for the next 365 days.
To avoid the inevitable disappointment, I’m writing to you sans food coma to propose a goal we are all capable of reaching.
``Repair Hero of the Year!``
This is a new competition that is all about taking the repair pledge and trying with all our might to repair the most stuff. We have two goals here: one, to get people who have never fixed to fix one thing. And two, to reward those who regularly fix for fixing a little more.
The TLDR; is that we want to reward the iFixit community member with the most repairs for the year. So towards the end of 2023 we’ll tally up each and every repair you all report and send a gift to the one who’s done the most (and a smattering of smaller prizes for some specific repair-categories).
