Bringing Intention Into January
Pattern launched five months ago. We’ve had almost half a year to talk with our growing community, learn from our market, reflect on our experiences, and set a path forward for our company.
January is often thought of as a time of renewal, where we lay the groundwork for the year ahead. For us, the beginning of the year represents an opportunity for intention setting, which is why we’re starting this year with a theme of ‘intentionality.’

For Pattern, we’re committed to building a new type of company, one that’s intentional in the value it creates, the dialogues it engages in, and the businesses it builds.
We're kicking off this year with the launch of Open Spaces: a home organization brand focused on helping people create space to enjoy.

A small collection of articles, books, and events that are helping our team and our community Enjoy Daily Life. What’s the best article, book, or podcast you’ve come across in the last 2 weeks? Let us know by emailing hello@patternbrands.com
Articles
“One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a current habit you already do each day and then stack your new behavior on top. This is called habit stacking. Habit stacking is a special form of an implementation intention. Rather than pairing your new habit with a particular time and location, you pair it with a current habit.”
“As children, we are experts at finding hobbies. We play sports, take dance and music lessons, collect action figures and spend our days learning everything from languages to wood shop. But somewhere on the path to adulthood, we stop trying new things and spend less time on our non-career interests. It’s not too late.”
“Day-to-day life has become so overstimulating over the last decade that often our free time is spent in search of ways to ‘turn our brains off,’ rather than turn them on in service of ourselves. It’s no wonder many of us feel constantly, unwittingly overextended.”
Books
“No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.”
Recommended by Emmett Shine & Pattern.
Events
Join us for a discussion with Will Ahmed, Founder of Whoop, and Kelvin Beachum, Offensive Tackle for the NY Jets, on the importance of recovery in high-performance lifestyles and finding balance in daily life.
