The 12 Week Year—Week Four

Mindset

Define one step for each day, so tiny, that you know you will carry it out. Break the project down into daily bites of work. Then take action every day.

Know in every moment what needs to be done to move you toward your goal.

Always ask this before you do a task: Does doing this get me closer to creating what I want to create?

Only plan items you can execute! Make your plans achievable. Less might be better. When you make plans you cannot achieve your motivation will be killed!

The Week In Retrospect

Look at the previous week, before planning the next week. Do this every Monday morning.

What has worked? What did not work? Do you need to adjust The Machine? Be honest, find the truth. Plan the next week.

  • Identify problems that stand in the way of you achieving the outcome this week
  • Diagnose problems to get at their causes​
  • Design plans that will get you around your problems and toward the defined outcome
  • Push through to completion. Do what is necessary.
  • Define the outcome for next week that will bring you closer to your goal.

Recap Of Week Seven

I have been away for a couple of days. After that, I drowned in work for my freelance project. And then there is the soccer world championship.

… excuses!

It is hard to find the real reason why I did not work on the app the last couple of days.

I have to manage my time more wisely. This needs to be done before the workday.

It also came to my attention that when I run into a problem which is hard to solve for me, I have the tendency to get overwhelmed. I should break down the problem into​ smaller pieces and find a smaller problem I cannot solve.

Back to work :)
