📚 Books I have read this year: https://amzn.to/48TxZBi
When a new year starts, like a lot of people, I usually put together (either mentally or write down) a list of goals I want to accomplish that year. Also, like most people, I end up giving up after a few weeks and, as months go by, I even forget what those goals were.
This year, I wanted things to be different but wasn't sure how. The answer (kind of?) came to me as I was mindlessly scrolling through TikTok after Christmas, I saw a video about planning for the new year in chunks of 12 weeks instead of making year-long plans. I was intrigued by this concept - could this satisfy my love for planning while setting realistic goals? and will I follow through on those action items?
According to the comments on that TikTok video, if I wanted to learn more about this I should read "The 12-Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months". The concept was intriguing, so I went ahead and bought the book 🛍️
The timing was perfect because it was a few days before January 1st 2024. I made some time to start daydreaming of what I wanted to accomplish in 2024 in every area of my life: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, and professionally. I started feeling a bit overwhelmed but all the big dreams I had and wasn't sure even where to start to get one step closer to them - and this is when the information I had started learning from my most recent acquisition ("the 12-week year" book) became really important. I completely shifted gears and just focused on the next 12 weeks, now the goals seemed more attainable and it was easier for me to come up with small tasks I could take every week to get closer to those goals.
I am almost done reading the book, and I recommend it - especially to people like me who LOVE daydreaming and planning, but who sometimes get carried away and become overwhelmed with all the big plans for months.
