How to quickly move on 2026 goals

It’s the end of February.

You probably mapped out your year in January, or maybe even last December.

Maybe you:

• Chose a word.
• Set quarterly goals.
• Outlined revenue targets.
• Planned launches.

I bet you have some beautiful pages mapped out.

And yet… tomorrow morning you’ll still feel scattered, thinking about what to work on first.

That’s the gap.

Big-picture planning usually doesn’t translate into daily clarity.

That’s why I love two-week sprints.

They bridge the space between vision and Tuesday at 9:00 am.

Here’s how you can do it too.

Step #1: Commit To One Thing.

Two weeks is long enough to move something forward.

But short enough that you can’t procrastinate.

Instead of “grow the business by 10% this quarter,” try:

• Book 5 sales conversations.
• Outline the new workshop.
• Publish 3 pieces of content.
• Finish the proposal.

Specific. Measurable. Clear.

When the finish line is 14 days away, your brain focuses differently.

Pro tip: I find sprints especially helpful for projects that get procrastinated because they feel too big or scary. Look at your annual and identify something you’ve been putting off.

Step #2: Define The Exact Tasks

A sprint only works if you know what action creates the result.

If your goal is 5 sales conversations, your tasks might be:

• Create a contact list.
• Draft the outreach message.
• Send 10 emails.
• Schedule follow-ups.

Then put those tasks on your calendar.

Not on a big to-do list. Not in your head.

On your calendar.

Now, when you wake up, you’re not wasting time deciding…or avoiding.

You’re executing.

Step #3: Limit Yourself To Three Sprints

If you try to sprint 10 things at once, you’re not sprinting.

You’re juggling.

Keep it to one to three results.

Give them focused attention for 14 days.

1. Finish.
2. Reassess.
3. Choose the next set.

You’re still building toward your yearly goals.

You’re just doing it in concentrated bursts.

And here’s what most people don’t realize.

Every two weeks, you complete something meaningful.

Which means you’re constantly:

• Building confidence.
• Building momentum.
• Creating evidence that you follow through.

That feeling changes everything. It’s what keeps you energized and motivated.

And who doesn’t need more of that?!

The Bottom Line

My last two sprints (wrapping up tomorrow) have been this:

1. Update website copy.​
2. Create a framework and outline for two new trainings.

I’ve been staring at both of them on my “2026 list” for nearly two months now.

Feels SO good to make progress on them. And I’d love the same for you.

Annual goals give you direction. Two-week sprints give you movement.

If you’ve been staring at your beautifully mapped-out year, wondering what to do tomorrow, try this:

Choose one result.

Define the tasks.

Work it for 14 days.

Then repeat.

Big progress rarely happens all at once.

It happens in focused bursts.

Two feel-good weeks at a time.
