Summary : The 12 Week Year – Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington

You can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do.”
– Henry Ford

Every week, schedule a 15-minute session where you score your previous week, plan your coming week and account to your peers.
At least once a week, schedule a three-hour block of time where you work on your business, not in it. Call these your strategic blocks of time and schedule when your work activity is typically the lightest. Use that time to accomplish some key activities.
Every day, schedule one or two buffer blocks. These are 30 minutes or an hour long. Use them to get through your e-mails, phone calls and other interruptions as fast as possible.
Also schedule a 3-hour breakout block of time each week. Use that time to do something fun and creative. This block of time prevents burnout and gives you an opportunity to develop new passions.
Finally, fill the rest of your calendar with all the other important activities you need to be doing.

The only way you will ever have any realistic chance of meeting the ambitious stretch goals you set as 12-week targets will be to get into a weekly routine where you score your past week, plan the coming week and get a shot of enthusiasm from a small group of your peers.
