While doing my weekly planning this morning, I realized I measure my key results (OKR) in five-week increments.
Not a coincidence: I’ve been an online university instructor for the past seven years. The courses are five weeks. Or, as I call them, five-week sprints.
Before that, my life ran five-week sprints because of my real estate business. It usually took about five weeks to close, I only did five-week listings, and we held our team meetings every five weeks.
Why this matters: You can commit to anything in a five-week sprint.
- Improve your writing.
- Start a new workout plan.
- Create a side-hustle.
Time for action: Pick a thing. And do a five-week sprint. What do you have to lose?
Fun fact: The first draft was 123 words.
