OVERVIEW OF THE 12 WEEK YEARTM
THIS FIELD GUIDE IS designed to support your application of the 12 Week Year (12WY) in any area of your life in which you seek improvement. It includes worksheets and tips designed to help you to effectively apply the principles and disciplines of the 12WY, and to accomplish your biggest goals faster.
While this guide is meant to stand alone, it is much more effective if you have read the New York Times bestselling book The 12 Week Year and have access to it as you work through this field guide.
Our book begins with a series of questions in Chapter 1:
How is it that some people seem to accomplish so much while the vast majority of people never accomplish what they are capable of?
If you could fully tap into your potential, what might be different for you?
How would your life change if each and every day you performed up to your full potential?
What would be different six months, three years, and five years down the road if each day you were at your best?”
You are starting a journey to discover your answers to these questions! Take a few minutes and imagine the accomplishments that you are capable of at your best. Capture them below:
As you get started with this field guide, we hope that you have big expectations for yourself, and for the 12 Week Year. Big expectations are the important first step toward significant breakthrough. The more you expect, the greater your results with the 12 Week Year are likely to be.
Keep these expectations in mind as you work through the exercises in this field guide.
THE 12 WEEK YEAR
With roots in the proven athletic training discipline of Periodization, the 12 Week Year creates a concentrated focus on the key activities that drive results over short periods of time. Periodization is frequently used by world-class athletes, and now Brian Moran and Mike Lennington have adapted it for you to apply it both personally and professionally.
The 12 Week Year redefines your year. A year is now 12 weeks long, and with each new year, you get a fresh start!
Be aware that a 12 Week Year is very different from a “quarter.” Quarterly planning and execution operate in the context of a 12 month year and foster the false belief that there is plenty of time to get things done, which results in less-than-optimal performance throughout the year.
This unproductive annualized thinking is eliminated with the 12 Week Year. Each 12 weeks stands on its own. 12 weeks is the year and in a 12 Week Year, the illusion of lots of time evaporates. The 12 Week Year narrows your focus to the week and to the day, which is where execution occurs.
For a deeper understanding of why a 12 Week Year drives better results than annual execution, see Chapter 2 in The 12 Week Year.
THE 12WY PRINCIPLES
The 12 Week Year is laid upon a foundation of three principles that ultimately determine an individual’s effectiveness and success. These three principles are Accountability, Commitment, and Greatness in the Moment.
Let’s take a closer look at each.
Accountability
Accountability is ownership. It is a character trait, a life stance, a willingness to own your actions and your results; regardless of the circumstances. The very nature of accountability rests on the understanding that each and every one of us has freedom of choice. It is this freedom of choice that is the foundation of personal accountability. The ultimate aim of Accountability is to continually ask of ourselves, “What more can I do to get the result?” For more on Accountability, read Chapters 8 and 18 in The 12 Week Year.
Commitment
Commitment is a contract that you make with yourself to keep your promises. Keeping your promises to others builds strong relationships. Keeping promises with yourself builds integrity, self-esteem, and success.
Commitment and Accountability are closely related. In a sense, a commitment is your accountability projected into the future. It is your ownership of a future action or result.
