📘 The 12 Week Year – Week 1 Summary
Chapters 1–4: A New Way to Think About Time
🔑 Summary:
These chapters challenge the traditional mindset of annual goal-setting and introduce a powerful concept: what if you treated every 12 weeks like a year?
This new lens creates urgency, clarity, and focus. Instead of coasting through long timelines, you compress planning, execution, and reflection into tight, productive cycles.
The authors argue that successful people don’t always know more—they execute more consistently.
They also break down how vision, planning, and accountability are critical to making meaningful progress every 12 weeks.
🧠 Reflection Questions (Poet Edition)
✍️ What “poetry project” or goal have you been dragging out for months that you could complete in the next 12 weeks?
(A book? A tour? A new service? A signature poem? A brand launch?)
🧭 What is your 12-week poetic vision?
(If this were a mini-year, what would you want to accomplish creatively and financially?)
🛠 What systems or habits are currently blocking your momentum as a poetry business owner?
(Be honest—are you waiting until it’s perfect? Avoiding marketing? Failing to schedule?)
⏳ Do you wait until you “feel inspired” to work on your business, or do you have structured work time?
(This book says structure beats inspiration every time.)
📈 What does success look like for you on March 31, 2026?
(Because if you're following the 12 Week Year... “next year” is only 12 weeks away.)
