I like Eric’s observation. Planning a short Sprint is less work, less anxiety. Instead of trying to plan better, let’s try to adapt better.

Planning a one-week sprint is very quick; we have some leftover work that didn’t quite get done from the last iteration and then we have to figure out what is next on the backlog. The first week of a two-week sprint is of course the same as the one-week planning, but the next week out is more vague; you aren’t quite a sure what should come next and it’s more likely external events (user feedback or new priorities) will disrupt the schedule. And four weeks makes things much more vague and it makes it harder for the team to engage.
