Yoooo,
This is the planning system I’ve used for years to do 4x more than avg people.
Ai made it cracked good.
Quick Hit:
Stop planning in years. Plan in 12 weeks. Use AI to review & plan.
One North Star → 3-6 projects → weekly sprints → daily tasks.
If you set a new year resolution, there's a good chance you'll fail.
Most people set ambitious goals in January. By March, they've drifted.
Why?
The goal is too big to see progress, and Dec 31 is too far away.
I read this book, “The 12 Week Year”, then combined it with “tech sprints” from startup world coming up with:
The 12-Week Stride.
Here's the fix: The 12-Week Stride.
One North Star goal — not five, not ten. One.
3-6 projects max — tight scope prevents distraction
Weekly sprints — what's the #1 priority this week?
Daily Kanban — tasks under 2 hours each
But now to add the “AI” layer into it.
Every phase has a prompt chain built in:
Retro prompt → analyses what shipped and why
North Star prompt → sets ONE goal from that + your context
Project prompt → breaks it into 3-6 scoped projects
Task prompt → generates Kanban-ready tasks
If you have context engineering setup, the AI knows your business.
It pulls from your docs, clients, calendar, and past Strides.
Then you don't start from blank. You start from context.

PS: I also have just released the first version of the Context Engineering Operating System Notion system that I myself use everyday, with the full stride system in it. Here is the link.
