Episode notes
Shorter Horizons Improve Predictability
- Long planning horizons become unpredictable and breed assumptions that break plans.
- Treat each 12-week period as a standalone 'year' for clearer, more precise objectives.
Align Planning To Motivation Cycles
- Efficiency and motivation fluctuate across the year, affecting goal progress.
- Aligning planning to natural cycles (quarters) captures high-motivation windows and reduces mid-year drift.
Limit Goals And Break Them Down
- Limit yourself to a maximum of three objectives per 12-week period to maintain focus.
- Break each objective into 12 weekly aims and daily to-do lists to ensure consistent progress.
