Emphasizing a Quarterly Planning Approach

The discussion highlights the concept of planning on a quarterly basis rather than relying solely on annual resolutions. Both hosts agree that while the new year symbolizes a sense of renewal, resolutions often end up being short-lived. Instead, they advocate for the '12-week year' approach, which allows for more manageable and focused goals over a shorter timeframe. This shift enables individuals to regularly reflect on their plans and adjust as necessary, leveraging those transitional moments throughout the year.
