The 12 Week Year—Week One

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.

12th of August 2018 Recap Of Week One

This has been a really good week. I finished more tasks that I had planned for. So I will just continue and try to carry the momentum into the next week.

When I plan I should ask myself: is this task / activity bringing me closer to launch?
