The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months

by Brian P. Moran

A research study by Amy N. Dalton and Stephen A. Spiller, found that the benefits of planning diminish rapidly, if not altogether, if you pursue and plan with more than one goal.

The Dalton and Spiller study also confirms this. It found that if you think that your plan to reach multiple goals actually is manageable, then you are more likely to execute it and planning becomes beneficial for multiple goals as well. If you think your plan is manageable, you will execute it and benefit from it! In other words, the way you think about your plan, affects your ability to execute!

Switch describes two ways to “shrink” change: First, limit the initial investment in time (e.g., spend five minutes cleaning), and second, set progress milestones that are quickly within reach (clean the small bathroom). By doing this, your thinking about the magnitude of your change shifts, and you can get “unstuck,” and begin to act.

Your first day with your first weekly plan puts you in an elite group of people who are acting to reach new heights in their lives.
