Sounds similar to the theme system that CGP Grey and Mike advocate for in the Cortex podcast.

I thought the same based on the title, but the article feels different. The theme system is about making a commitment, and making failure harder to prevent demoralization, and promote adaptibility. Quests, as presented here, still have a measurable goal, they are specific. That should never be the case with a yearly theme.
