It's not like a whole year where it just sort of gets muddled in there of when that big project is going to get done, when it's going to get completed, but it's also far enough out, it's enough time that something real can happen.

And like I said, there's a whole book built around this system called The 12 Week Year by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington.

They actually have one just for writers as well.

And the core idea is pretty simple, and it really is how I think of my year, which I also talked about looking at your whole year as seasons and planning around your energy and when things are busier and less busy.

But willpower alone eventually depletes, right? Which means we have to talk about how we structure the time we are applying that willpower to.

And that brings us to a wildly different approach to action, The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington.

The premise is right in the title.

You take a whole year of goals, and you condense the execution timeline into a 12-week chunk.
