this book: pretend 12 weeks is a year, also I invented SMART goals.
literally just make it an infographic; this entire book is just the title. who allowed this man to write an entire book (that just plugs the website again and again)?!

Lots of toxic productivity messaging, some diet/exercise related goals discussed so be careful it that’s a sensitive topic.
Overall this has a very corporate arrogant white dude feel to it, but I think the 12 week planning concept does have potential to be used in a more compassionate and nuanced way. I actually think What Works by Tara McMullin brought that more nuanced approach including some concepts from the 12 Week Year. So if you’re not a corporate white dude (or babe) you might prefer that book.

I read this because it's one of those highly touted self-help books, and as someone who recommends this genre quite a bit...it seemed more or less necessary to read. The title is really explanatory of the book, which explains why it was such a fast read. Instead of pursuing goals over the course of the year, do it over 3 months.
the authors go into more detail with regards to being honest with yourself, checking in, and setting realistic goals. As a librarian, it is a little difficult to translate this on a professional level, but they also offer examples for health and personal pursuits which is rather helpful.

Great concept for productivity. Everything is actionable. However, the book is a little repetitive.
