98 days until 2027...Do this and you’ll thank yourself on Jan 1st
Sam Parr and Shaan Puri make the case for using the last 99 days of the year as a focused sprint to hit goals before 2027, covering planning frameworks, event strategy, and business lessons.
The gist
-
Shrink your planning window to 99 days and cut meeting lengths, say to 22 minutes, to force efficiency and eliminate unnecessary scope.
-
Build systems that contain your weaknesses rather than fix them, like prepaying a trainer or scheduling one weekly feedback session instead of reacting impulsively.
-
Use separate physical hats or notebooks to signal whether you are in brainstorming mode or editing mode, keeping creation and judgment apart.
-
Decide what you are unwilling to do, such as charging for an event, to force better product decisions and stay true to your core model.
