NOTE

The 12 Week Cycle of Goal Pursuit

To ensure effective goal pursuit, it is important to make your goal measurable by defining the duration of pursuit and the amount of time spent each week or day. While there are various time blocks that can be used, it is recommended to establish a roughly 12 week period or quarterly cycle to focus on a specific goal. This timeframe aligns well with societal and cultural elements, work schedules, and seasonality. Within the 12 week cycle, it is essential to clearly define the number of hours per week and per day, as well as the specific days dedicated to pursuing the goal. These three numbers, the 12 week cycle, the number of hours per week, and the number of hours per day, determine the effectiveness of goal pursuit for the majority of different types of goals.
