12 Week Year
Overview

Why Organize Around a 12 Week Year?

Drawbacks of Annualized Thinking:
• It’s hard to create a plan that stays relatively steady for 12 straight months.
• Loose, slow feedback loops.
• Lack of a sense of urgency (until November/December).
• It’s easy to get discouraged and demotivated.
• Encourages procrastination, distraction, and guilt/regret cycles.
Benefits of a 12 Week Year Orientation:
• Puts a strong focus on execution.
• Present sense of self-created (i.e. stressless) urgency.
• Tight, fast feedback loops.
• Strong deadlines that push you to reach your goals.
• Four “New Year’s” per year instead of just one – creates more excitement, focus, and energy.
• More chances to do better by implementing changes based on what you learn.
