If we take care of the minutes, the years will take care of themselves.

Benjamin Franklin

Today is the beginning of the 13th week of 2024.

In Jan 2019 I read a book called The 12-Week Year. I came away from that read with several take-aways and intentions.

  1. Read the book annually (not done)
  2. Take every 13th week off to plan the next 12 weeks (not done)
  3. Use their system, including time-blocking (not done)
  4. Set 12-week goals rather than annual goals (done)

So here I am again, week 13. With another opportunity to execute on my intentions.

I intended, again to re-read the book in December – that’s when I came up with the Reading Project concept – and here we are then end of March – time flies, whether we’re having fun or not.

So today, I’ll begin my first re-read. I don’t feel like I can take the whole week off – that was a bit unrealistic – I no longer have employees – so there’s that. But I can take some time to do what I said I was going to do.

“It’s not what you know; it’s not even who you know; it’s what you implement that counts.”
