Not going to pack much into this one since there’s a two week Europe trip in here.

Set your 12 week goal that aligns with your long-term vision and also represents greatness for you in and of itself in the next 12 weeks. Review your long-term and 3 year visions. Decide on the progress that you are willing to commit to achieving in the next 12 weeks.

The 12 Week Year

Goal 1: 🧳 Travel to France + Italy + UK with Nancy

Contributes to life goal: “I want my marriage with Nancy to be fun, loving, honest, and rock solid.”

Weekly tactics:

• Week 1: Buy a travel backpack
• Weeks 2-7: Figure out how to fit everything I need into that backpack
• Weeks 8-10: Take the trip: February 29-March 14 ✈️
• Weeks 11-12: Force everyone I meet to look at my pictures

Goal 2: 🍽️ Have a weekly date lunch with Nancy

Contributes to life goal: “I want my marriage with Nancy to be fun, loving, honest, and rock solid.”

In my 2023 in review post, I realized that at the end of 2022, I planned to have recurring date nights with Nancy and that didn’t happen. Nights are hard with kids, but lunch (when our kids are at school) should be doable.

Weekly tactics:

• Weeks 1-12: Block off 90 mins each Wednesday and go somewhere for lunch with Nancy.

Goal 3: ✏️ Write one chapter of my theoretical book

Contributes to three year goal: “I want to self publish a book from my blog posts.”

I think I can mostly take the content from a talk I gave recently.

Weekly tactics:

• Week 1: Draft the chapter from that talk’s speaker notes
• Week 2: Publish it as a blog post
• Weeks 3-12: 🤷

Goal 4: 🏃 Run 200 miles

Contributes to three year goal: “I want to run a half marathon in under 1:40.”

That’s 20 miles a week, not counting the two weeks we’ll be in Europe.

• Weeks 1-8 and 11-12: Follow this training plan as closely as possible
