The 12-Week Year

by Brian Moran, Michael Lennington, Tom Pile

This playlist maps the book’s core practice—thinking and acting inside a strict 12-week cycle—onto music that supports sustained focus, clear momentum, and periodic emotional reset. The instrumental half keeps your attention anchored while the vocal half adds gentle drive and accountability energy to mirror urgency and follow-through.
