Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months
I read a lot of business books. I used to read around 100 books a year before I had kids. The vast majority of books have 2 or 3 good takeaways and then you are done.
However, I recently read a book that has overhauled how I live out my day, which has caused my productivity to literally triple.
If you don’t feel like reading this article just know that this book is filled with actionable tactics for you to accomplish your long-term vision AND your short-term goals.
That’s what I liked most about the book — it’s not just superfluous business talk — it’s actionable advice that you can implement immediately.
Before reading this book, I would set annual goals — like most people.
However, the problem with annual goals is that it’s too long of time period — which let’s you make excuses for yourself. I would accomplish most of my goals, but usually in the first quarter or the fourth quarter.
I effectively (and subconsciously) took the second and third quarters off.
Having this realization I obviously asked myself — How much could I accomplish when I set my own time-frames, without the artificial time frame of a yearly goal?
I highly encourage you to buy the book. If you don’t have time to read it, get the audiobook:
“If you are not in control of your time, then you are not in control of your results.”
