Why you should start a 12-week year plan + Free notion template
12 weeks to change a life. It seems crazy I know but I have no choice. If you read my last post on how much I got affected by mercury retrograde, you may know that I had a hugely pivotal moment in my life. I realized my life was all okay, but definitely not fulfilling how I always envisioned my life to be. The truth is I’m scared. but aren’t we all? and isn’t being afraid a sign that we really desire something? related: what this mercury retrograde taught me I could either continue on this path because I’m so afraid of my dreams or worse, what could happen if I fail to try to change my life. A path that would lead me to a series of burnout (again) and depression throughout my life, or I could take action. Actions to change it. But being me, that means with a real game plan. related: What the F is a burnout? Then I remembered a video by Montelle Bee over the 12-week year and I had a Eureka moment. I could either continue on this path which would lead me to a series of burnout and depression throughout my life, or I could take action. But I don’t want it to be a hopeless dream, I need an actual plan and a deadline (picture with quote about dreams & deadlines) So I decided to join the 12-week year train, and turn my life in 12 weeks (or at least be on the right path to change). And how coincidentally that 12 weeks is equal to 3 months, the 3 months that are left in 2022. But what is the 12-week year?The 12 week year is a book written by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. And the book’s tagline says it all: “Get more done in 12 weeks than others do in 12 months” , A guide to creating results through focus, commitment, and accountability. Why the 12-week year plan?Most people set goals on New year’s eve but then take little actions because they have so much time to achieve them. That’s also the reason why in quarter 4 many people suddenly start working again on their goals because the year passed in just a blink of an eye and they realized how little they actually did, and I’m the perfect example of it. Now imagine if you hadn’t lost that time how much you could have accomplished? But the past is the past, there’s no need to regret that now. 12 weeks is also a good period to change a lot and set new habits, but it’s also short enough to stay focused on your goals. How to do the 12-week year?As a big planner and list fan, obviously, I had to make a whole Notion plan for it, and you can get access to this template right here.
