How to Accomplish More in 12 Weeks Than in 12 Months
Manage episode 297560739 series 2849375
If you’re resisting what you need to accomplish, you might have given yourself too much time to execute your plans. New Year’s Resolutions and annual goals rarely get you to where you need to be and create the life you want.
Move out of annual thinking and adopt the 12 Week Year. With this planning technique, a year is no longer 12 months; it's 12 weeks. 1 year = 12 weeks, 1 month = 1 week, and 1 week = 1 day. You are no longer focusing on distant annual goals broken into 4 periods or quarters.
In episode 27 of The Incrementalist podcast, you will learn:
1) The advantages of a 12-week planning system to set and implement big goals
2) How your thinking affects the results
3) The key ingredients of a weekly plan and ways to make it work for you
4) The steps to creating and recreating a 12-week action plan
5) How shorter time frames prompt you to take action and avoid procrastination
6) The importance of having a clear vision and defining specific tactics to get you where you want to be
7) Time blocking helps you control your day and carve out time to execute your plan
