The 12 Week Year concept is so inspiring! I've actually paired it with the Astirna New Tab extension, which helps me keep all my goals and deadlines in check. Perfect combo!

😂😂😂 I was watching this and I said “this really looks like my cousin” then I checked the channel name 🤣 it is

[@thill_in]

Hahah this is my favourite comment 😂

[@leadgenjay]

One advanced tip is to combine the 12-week planning with a daily review habit, where you reflect on your progress and adjust your actions for the next day. This helps to maintain a laser focus on your goals and adapt quickly to any changes.

[@thill_in]

This is really cool, I might give this a go!

[@l.upascu]

Totally agree. That’s probably the best way to do it, but i find it a little overwhelming. An easier way is to choose a day of the week (I chose Sunday) to reflect on what I managed to achieve the past 7 days.

[@CloudMolester]

I like how society went from "Corporations are evil and exploit workers" to "Implement Quarterly Project Planning and strategic goals + Agile" I don't mind, just an observation~

I do the same for the last 15 decades. I finished my education, gave a birth for my 3 children and after my 3rd child became 3 years old ,I came back to my career and got the salary, that allows me to live my family live a good life and job,that allows me work remotely and spend more time with my family

[@simon.1418]

I've been doing this for a while now, well over a year and what's helped me tremendously when getting the daily tasks down to something that was actually beneficial was this: Reverse engineering my 12 week goal into benchmarks that I need to hit each month. What benchmarks do I need to hit each week to hit the monthly ones, and then really think about the daily tasks that will get me to the weekly goal. Also, sometimes the tasks just don't work out the way I thought they would, and then it's time for me to reassess my strategies and find better ones for the rest of the year. Very sweet video indeed.

[@ThommyTy]

This has been the first time I have ever listened to a KZbin video and broke down what was taught to execute... Most likely because this is the third major time this book has come up and I thought ... Hmm this may be a good idea. This third time I realized wowza this'll be easy I just need to follow this full break down. I listened just into the ears yesterday... And today decided. Let's break this down and follow it out. Thank you Tim

[@ryanlynch290]

How's it working for you? I just discovered this. Took a week to reassess everything, and I started executing yesterday, although my first 12 weeks isn't fully flushed out yet.

“Behind every impossible achievement is a dreamer of impossible dreams”. I love this because the human species wouldn’t be where we are today without people who were willing to chase the “impossible”. Think of the wright brothers for example - they had a dream of humans flying one day. Impossible right? Not with an airplane! Great video, Tim! I get the sense you won’t be a “small” creator for very much longer! The quality of this video was awesome - I’m working on getting there myself!

I have never read this book. However, whenever taking a professional certification exam, I give myself 12 weeks to study. I will schedule the exam three months out, then create and execute a study plan.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 11 months ago about self development. Now I have 2,048 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@nathananderson8720]

@@void1482 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my KZbin channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a KZbinr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this KZbin thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)

[@nathananderson8720]

@@void1482 Thank you for taking the time to show your support! I wasted years of my life pursuing what I thought could fulfill me. I was lost as hell. I was searching for a feeling of purpose, being appreciated, being loved in many different wrong places such as career achievements, clubs, others’ opinions, etc. I worked hard for many years to graduate and have a stable high paying job and acquired most of the materialistic pursuits I’ve ever wanted but that spike of happiness didn’t last until I had enough and started to ask myself many existential questions that truly make this life matters and that’s when I got out of severe depression and actually experience how it is to be fully alive rather that being like a puppet and just let my life pass me by. So many sacrifices are needed to actually attain the authentic life I was scared of facing for so many years so that I can stay in my comfort zone but be miserable. I will be uploading videos that I hope can inspire others as well. It takes time but I will never stop

[@MythicEcho]

Great video. Thanks a lot!!! My notes - Knowledge is not an issue but execution. Planning and exeution. Its not what yiu know, or who you know, its what you execute. Key insights 1. Periodization 2. Redefining the year. 3. The emotional connect 4. The execution system. 1. Periodization Principles: Focus, concentration, overload Think => Action(daily) => Result(long term) 2. Redefining the year. No urgency? Too late. Set short term ambitious goals. Instead of 12 months, set ambitious 12 weeks goals!!! Take a break, celebrate, reengage. 3. The emotional connect Tie short term action to vision. Professional and personal goal. Without emotional conenct you cant do important tasks with discomfort. Ignore short term discomfort. Neuroplasticity: Your brain can change anytime you want. 4. The execution system. 1. Vision => 5 to 15 years goal. (look at it everyday at start of your day) 2. Goal + tactics (short term like 12 weeks for next 3 years) Weekly and daily actions. 3. Controlling the process => Weekly plan(action broken by due date), peer support(weekly accountable meetings), progress measures.(review progress) 4. Confronting the truth => Scoring: Buidling sef esteem + Confidense, tracking will make you accountable.

[@jdsoul1327]

So good, I watched it twice. This is a great explanation of the system. Thank you Tim.

[@JordanTylerVincent]

As a software developer this reminds me of the two approaches to software development. The waterfall method vs the agile method. The waterfall method is one long cycle where you have a planning phase, a design phase, implementation, testing and then maintenance. It's a more straight-line approach that you pass through once. With an agile approach, you have that same cycle of planning, design, implementation, and testing but in shorter, repeatable cycles called sprints. The agile method is much better (imo) because you have smaller sets of goals and work items and can adapt to problems/changes.

[@thill_in]

100%! I'm a dev too, which is probably part of why I liked this so much haha

[@softsophisticate]

That is interesting, the agile approach, does that mean you are constantly moving backwards and forwards in the process refining/resigning your work until you eventually get a design you are happy with?

[@lookmanmybad3885]

It seems like this blew up because of the broad topic that applies to everyone plus your concise scripting and editing. MORE!

[@r4lfxd]

I'd just like to say that I've seen this pop up in my feed when we were on a break. But to actually give feedback, I will say this is a really good video, but it only shows for me how different people are. Maybe I am "type b" (had to google these, way less known than you think), but for example I've learn that too much tracking of things only gets me much less productive. All these systems are great, but whenever it involved extensive planning, I know planning is the only time I will touch the project. I've been down that road. Which is weird for me to say since I've always been the type that likes to have my week roughly scheduled in my head and can't change it when people ask me, but when it comes to having a calendar or daily tasks, "score", that would be such a chore for me to keep up. I get much more done by just carrying everything in my head. The thing that made me really try more to "achieve the life I am capable of" is just the dread of my age and years passing by.

[@GlorifiedGremlin]

I used to think the same way, and do the same thing. Spend lots of time organizing and even finding new tools for productivity without ever actually DOING anything. I've found it's just an excuse personally. Using ticktick, which is nice and simplistic, and doesn't encourage a bazillion subtasks and structuring, is what finally worked for me. You just dump all your tasks into a list, and then put due dates and tags on them. Then you're done, they're on your calendar, so leave it alone lol
