INSIGHT

12-Week Cycles Replace Yearly Planning

  • Treat a year as four 12-week cycles to focus only on the current 12 weeks.
  • If a goal truly needs more time, string multiple 12-week years together sequentially.
ADVICE

Don't Sprint—Systematize For The Year

  • Avoid treating the 12-week year as a temporary sprint that burns you out.
  • Create a 12-month map and use repeating 12-week plans so you can perform sustainably all year.
ADVICE

Pick One High-Impact Goal

  • Limit focus to one major goal per 12-week period to avoid diluted effort.
  • If a goal needs longer, plan consecutive 12-week years rather than juggling many simultaneous goals.
