New Year’s resolutions rarely fail because of you
Every year it’s the same routine. New year, new resolutions. More time, better habits, less chaos. And every year you realise: the intention was honest, but somehow too big, too sudden, too unfamiliar.
Not because you didn’t mean it seriously.
But because real change doesn’t work when it feels like an order — even when you’re the one giving it to yourself.
A good resolution is not a restart.
It is a decision.
Reset sounds tempting – but rarely works
“Reset” sounds like relief. Everything back to zero, everything new, mistakes erased. But honestly: when has a complete restart ever really worked — for people or for systems?
A reset ignores what already exists. Experiences, structures, learning processes. That’s why the word often feels wrong. Too big. Too abstract. Too much like someone pressing a button and expecting everyone else to follow.
IE 2.0 is not that.
No reset. No rescue plan. No big promise that everything will suddenly be better.
IE 2.0 as a personal resolution
IE 2.0 can be seen much more soberly — and more honestly — as a resolution.
Not as an obligation, but as a conscious choice.
The resolution not to just let IE run in the background.
The resolution to commit to it more clearly.
The resolution to make more out of it — together, but voluntarily.
Just like a good New Year’s resolution, it’s not about perfection. It’s about saying: I want to contribute. I want to understand. I want to help shape things where it makes sense.
Why voluntariness makes the difference
Everything that lasts is based on voluntariness. Not on coercion, not on rules from above. But on people wanting to take responsibility — not being forced to.
That’s exactly what DAO structures are built on. You’re not part of it because you should be, but because you want to be. Decisions don’t come from orders, but from discussion and voting. Slower, yes — but more honest.
IE 2.0 follows this principle. It’s not a finished construct, but an open process. You can get involved, question things, make suggestions — or simply observe. All of that is legitimate.
No promise of salvation — but a space
IE 2.0 promises you nothing. No security, no quick success, no simple solution. And that’s exactly what makes it credible.
It is a space.
For ideas.
For innovation.
For learning together.
For responsibility that isn’t delegated away.
If you want to discuss, you’ll find others who think along — for example via ieCommunity.net.
At the moment, the vote on IE 2.0 is still ongoing. The voting description and background information are available on the corresponding landing page.

Maybe this is the real New Year’s resolution
Maybe no big restart is needed at all.
Maybe this one quiet resolution is enough:
I consciously choose IE.
Not blindly. Not uncritically.
But with the intention to make more out of it.
IE 2.0 is not a reset button.
It is that resolution — and everything we make of it.
