The 12 Week Year

Overview

The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran redefines the annual planning cycle into 12-week periods, creating greater urgency and focus to accomplish more in 12 weeks than others do in 12 months.

Core Concept

Rather than annual goals that get delayed until "later," the 12 Week Year creates 12-week execution cycles where every week matters.

Key Principles

• Periodization: Break the year into four 12-week periods
• Clear Vision: Define what you want to accomplish in 12 weeks
• Weekly Planning: Plan each week to support 12-week goals
• Measurement: Track weekly execution and progress
• Accountability: Regular reviews keep you on track
• Time Use: Eliminate low-value activities
• Intentionality: Every action connects to 12-week goals
