The guide to shortening your execution cycle down from one year to 12 weeks
Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a 12-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.
- Explains how to leverage the power of a 12-week year to drive improved results in any area of your life
- Offers a how-to book for both individuals and organizations seeking to improve their execution effectiveness
- Authors are leading experts on execution and implementation
Turn your organization's idea of a year on its head, and speed your journey to success.

"The book is an excellent guide for how to compress our goals into timeframes that allow us to get more done, sooner.
Three authors clearly establish WHY the 12-week will help you and more importantly, HOW to implement a 12-week year.
Case studies across verticals show how the concepts can be applied both individually and corporately.
Today is the last day of my first 12-week year. I can say that I have both accomplished more (completed more projects) and earned more in the past 12 weeks than in the 12 that preceded.
My only criticism is that I felt there should have been more for those of us who completed the first 12. The system is the same regardless of your first or twentieth 12. But I felt that there should have been a detailed debrief at the end which would have us examine key successes, difficulties, and adjustments for the next 12. Some of that is discussed throughout, but I would encourage others to perform a similar debrief at the end of the first cycle in order to make the next cycle even more productive than the first."

- I had high expectations for this book, but was disappointed to find out that the “12 Week year†was just a fancy way of saying Check in on your goals more regularly.
The main themes of the book were as follows
1) Shorten your feedback loop on goals that you set. Hence the 12 Week language.
2) Prioritize your time by blocking it off through a weekly plan.
3) Measure your execution regularly, and work to improve it.
4) Focus your goals and join a community for accountability.
The language, the examples, and the constant promotion of their “workshop†was not value adding to the book. Even the examples—which were mostly if not all sales examples—did not have details.
The worksheets examples were dated and lacking detail. Also, the authors repetition of the same concepts watered down the books good nuggets of wisdom. - This book is amazing. I read 1-2 books a month about mindset, time management, productivity, and so on -- and I don't think I'll ever find one to top this, honestly. THIS book is where it's at.
The negative reviews that say there is nothing new in this book are right, but they are missing the point. The author himself says there really isn't anything new to be brought to the table as far as concepts go. The incredibly VALUE of this book lies in the ideas behind it, the mindset you need to execute it, and the actual process of taking action step by step as outlined.
I accomplished more with this program than I ever would have without it. I am applying this not only to my business, but our homeschool year and my homemaking/home improvement efforts. - Overall worth the price and a great resource for setting up your own time based productivity system. Unless you get additional resources, you can't just use this book to set up a system. It's partially a sales lead device, but it gives a lot of value that is worth your time to read.
Pros
- The book gives a lot of good ideas and references for setting up a productive time system.
- Based on what they found working in their company The Execution Company
- Great Price for what is offered in similar courses that cost X20 more.
- Shortens the Cycle to 12 Weeks
- Proposes a system for feedback to see if your on track.
- Mentions Time Blocking
- Has you self grade yourself in 7 areas, on a scale of 1-10.
- Focuses you on a few key tasks.
- Good call outs to more resources.
- Good explanation of Commitments
- Good explanation of common pitfalls
- Link to a free 12 week autoresponder weekly series that sends a pdf with needed forms.
- Good to call out the need for a partner, for the accountability issue.
- Discusses need to focus.
What I am Not Seeing
- Mention of Scrum. A lot of what they are proposing is basically a scrum or agility based time management system, for the individual.
- No link to free forms for the system. I guess you get that from the free autoresponder system, or pay X Dollars for the workbook. It would be nice if this was explained more at the back of the book
- Matchbook Pricing. I love it when authors when you buy the physical book, offer a Matchbook for the Edition.
- No monitoring of your energy level. Another system you can buy includes this.
- Continual process improvement - another part of Scrum.
I am guessing if you use the software, small fee needed, it makes setting up the system a lot easier. - The book is an excellent guide for how to compress our goals into timeframes that allow us to get more done, sooner.
Three authors clearly establish WHY the 12-week will help you and more importantly, HOW to implement a 12-week year.
Case studies across verticals show how the concepts can be applied both individually and corporately.
Today is the last day of my first 12-week year. I can say that I have both accomplished more (completed more projects) and earned more in the past 12 weeks than in the 12 that preceded.
My only criticism is that I felt there should have been more for those of us who completed the first 12. The system is the same regardless of your first or twentieth 12. But I felt that there should have been a detailed debrief at the end which would have us examine key successes, difficulties, and adjustments for the next 12. Some of that is discussed throughout, but I would encourage others to perform a similar debrief at the end of the first cycle in order to make the next cycle even more productive than the first. - The first half repeated itself over and over. I was more interested in the implementation, not just selling me on the system. However, this book has revolutionized the way I think about my goals and to-do lists. I have been able to accomplish more in the last two months than I did all of last year. Even if you only implement one thing you learn in the book, you will still be making more progress than before you read the book. I highly recommend it.
- The book was decent, though lots of stuff from other materials you can find elsewhere, the upsell to try and get you to use his 'planning software' at $600 year really turns me off of him.
- I've always done yearly goals but sometimes I procrastinate or my vision/goals change and I no longer feel emotionally connected to my yearly goals. I'm excited to implement these rituals and change the way I've been doing goal planning for years.
- like the book have to get through a few 12 week years to see if it can truly improve my efforts and performance. Lots of stuff to think about and tackle. The ideas seem sound and so far so good in practice. But just on my first "year". But way further alone than anticipated, procrastination seems to be losing and that is a great thing. Increase focus and attention on what really matters to me and reducing the distractions, rabbit holes, and trivia that often eats up time and energy with little return.
