Achieve More in 12 Weeks Than Most Do in a Year with CedisPay
In The 12-Week Year by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington, the authors show how focusing on a shorter, 12-week period can lead to extraordinary results. Rather than waiting for the "perfect time" or spending a year trying to achieve big goals, the authors emphasize the power of urgency, execution, and focused effort. Here’s how you can apply these key principles to your financial journey using CedisPay’s tools:
Create a Sense of Urgency
What: Treat every 12 weeks as your "year."
Why: A shorter timeframe creates focus, eliminates procrastination, and drives action
How:
Set a clear, time-bound financial goal for the next 12 weeks—whether it’s saving $2,000, cutting debt by $500, or automating your savings
Use CedisPay’s Budget App to track your progress and keep your goal in sight, treating this period as your "new year" for financial success
Execution Over Planning
What: Success is more about consistent execution than a perfect plan
Why: Action creates results, and over-planning can lead to indecision
How:
Focus on taking consistent, daily actions to move toward your goal
Automate savings and bills through CedisPay so you don’t have to rely on willpower or perfect planning—just execution
Set Clear 12-Week Goals
What: Break your long-term goals into specific, measurable targets for the next 12 weeks
Why: Short-term, focused goals are easier to track and achieve
How:
Set a specific financial target for the next 12 weeks (e.g., save $1,500, reduce spending by 10%).
Use CedisPay’s goal-setting tools to monitor your progress and keep your focus sharp
Focus on Weekly and Daily Tactics
What: Break your 12-week goals into smaller, actionable weekly and daily tasks

CedisPay helps you automate these tasks and stay consistent every day
