Reassess and Re-Sprint: Embracing the '12 Week Year' for Q2 Success

March 12, 2025•1 min read

As we approach the end of Q1, it's a natural time to step back and assess how the year is unfolding. Have you made the progress you envisioned back in January? Are you on track to hit your goals, or do you feel like the year is slipping away?

The truth is, many people start the year with excitement, only to find themselves drifting as the months pass. That’s why I love the concept of The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. Instead of treating the year as a marathon, this approach structures it as a series of focused sprints.

Rather than setting goals for an entire year (which often leads to procrastination), you break your year into 12-week cycles. Each cycle becomes a fresh opportunity to drive results with urgency and clarity. If Q1 didn’t go as planned, the good news is—you’re not waiting until next January to reset. You can refocus and start a new 12-week sprint now.
