Skip the year-long resolution. Set four focused goals per quarter instead, each with its own planning and review cycle. The speaker argues tech professionals can hit ambitious targets in 12 weeks by getting creative and using the tools they already have.
Make new quarter resolutions. I'm recording this on the first of the year, 2025. And the, of course, topic of the day is going to be what is your New Year's resolution? What is, you know, what are you gonna make true in this coming year? And I think the people who work in technology or are entrepreneurs should be looking no further than the quarter because we want to make a lot of change, we want to make it quickly. And the truth is a lot of things we think we can do in a year can be done in a quarter through the interesting application of creativity and technology. So what can you do this quarter? How instead of having a 12-month plan, can you have a 12-week plan, a 12-week year? Let's get 4 of them done this year. I think that is something entirely possible for people in our line of work to do. And I would encourage you to look that way, have the ambition for the year, make it happen in the quarter. And heck, if you can, let's get started today.
