Books / / December 19, 2019
Most of us have two lives: the first - our own everyday, and the second-thaw, which we could live quite differently.
Steven Pressfield, author of "War of the creative"
How long have you looked at your plan for this year and reviewed the promises made to ourselves in January? I think each of us will find a list of what we planned to improve confidence, career and personal life. That's just often by the middle, and the end of the year, some of these points still remain unfulfilled, despite the fact that we had a long year of 12 months!
Imagine if a year lasted only 12 weeks? The results may surprise you - we have a lot more time to. How? This is what is written in the book.

Who is this book
Do you feel that you still have something to strive for? Your dream of a successful career, but from year to year put off learning a foreign language, going to university or unsuccessfully trying to build a business? Do you dream of a fairytale life, but do not believe that this is possible? If you have an unrealized desire, you want to get more done in the same time and, most importantly, ready to act, this book will serve as instructions to achieve your goals.
Is not enough desire to change. We need to work on it, with constantly and consistently.
The method 12 weeks is a proven practice of athletes, which is used to improve their results.
We have developed a 12-week system that allows you to focus on important factors affecting the increase in income and organize your personal life.
How it works
Say "no" to the annual planning
It would seem, how is this possible? After the annual plan - the basis of the work of both small and large organizations worldwide. The authors also believe that, despite the popularity of the annual planning method is not very effective in reality. So, if you dig deeper and analyze this period, we note that often the most effective labor until the end of the year, on the eve of reporting and tabulation of the results for the full year. And most of the rest of the time, we often allow ourselves to relax, after a long year!
Instead of it, Brian Moran and Michael Lennington offer to switch to a 12-week cycle, during which you simply will not be much time to waste.
Short year gives enough time to complete all planned, but you will always feel the need for action and maintain the tone.
Advantages of the 12-week plan
- It is more predictable. It is much easier to predict the development of events in the coming weeks, than for the whole year ahead.
- 12-week plan clearly focused. The list of tasks that need to be implemented, much less than the annual list, and it helps to avoid spraying and waste of time.
- In the 12-week plan is fundamentally different structure.
Our experience shows that most of the plans is written with the unspoken purpose just to create a good plan. Often they are placed in a beautiful location, and that's where the process ends.
A legitimate plan is very important, because without the planned action script we can not achieve specific goals. The authors give eight core, in their opinion, the elements, above all affecting the quality and effectiveness of any endeavor:
- Vision.
- Planning.
- The control.
- Measurement and evaluation.
- The use of time.
- A responsibility.
- Keeping promises.
- Disclosure of its potential every once in a moment of action.
And give practical advice and examples of each stage. With this in 12 weeks you can really catch a lot more.
Becoming successful is not so difficult! Eventually, you reach or success here and now, or ever reach.
This is not a reference book, the manual with ready tools that help create a compelling vision for the future (a clear picture what you want in life), define your goals, learn how to manage time, do not be afraid of responsibility and be honest with a. And most importantly - to dream and at the same time slowly and smoothly to work towards their goals.
"12 weeks" - one of the most inspirational and motivational books during the last month that I was lucky enough to read. Personally, I am starting my first 12 weeks today.
