I do that too. I'm in a semi-unique situation, but I make my plans around the quarters as well, more specifically the weather of the quarters, since I have snow on the ground for much of the 4th and 1st quarters. If something gets neglected, it gets pushed to the next year, same quarter usually. It kind of works, but this year everything went to hell because I started a new business and put all my focus (and employees focus) on that, so things like the patio cover and concrete pours I wanted to do over the summer at my house got skipped for this year since snow starts next month.
