In this week’s Confessions of a Poker Writer series Lee Davy describes his 12-Week Planning process in the hope that it will inspire others to do the same.

It’s that time of year again. Street corner apothecaries are raking it in thanks to the increased stress levels of parents trying to find a single present for less than £100. That incredibly annoying Slade song is repeating on the radio, and people have started planning to take over their slice of the world in 2016.

I think annual goals are a waste of time, probably because I never achieve any of them. This, coming from a man who has, in Sorel Mizzi and Bryn Kenney’s words, ‘quit life.’

I am trying something different in 2016. I pay £80 per month to be a member of an entrepreneurial group called The 1% Club. The club’s philosophy is to work in 12-Week batches and to concentrate on the One Next Action (ONA).
