Hi guys,
This is a step-by-step guide of how I use my 12 week year planner on Notion. I use this Notion template for my side income projects as well as my current business activities.
The 12 week year system is a great productivity system. It is perfect for anyone who is looking to push themselves to achieve more in 12 weeks than what they used to in 12 months.
I have been using this system on Notion for the past 1.5 years and it has gotten me remarkable results. Because of that, I wanted to share with you my 12 week year planner that I have created on Notion.
The template is totally FREE for you to copy and use. The video explains how I use it on a week-on-week basis.
If you guys have any questions at all on how I use the Notion template, feel free to leave a question below, or you can also message me on Instagram @ruizasri

🤔 WHAT IS THE 12 WEEK YEAR PLANNER SYSTEM?
If I were to summarise in one sentence, It is a productivity system where you redefine 1 year only consisting of 12 weeks, in which you execute maximum effort and focus in achieving your goals within that compressed time frame.
When we compress one year within 12 weeks, this means that one whole calendar year will instead be comprised of 4 years. by forcing ourselves to think in this new paradigm, we will be able to increase our productivity tremendously and get more done in 12 weeks than others do in 12 months.
While most people’s energy will remain high in the first few months of a typical 12 month year, that level of focus and energy usually diminishes over time. Besides, the authors discovered that most business make most of their progress towards their annual goals in the last quarter of the year.
However, if you were to think that a year only had 12 weeks, that shorter time period will cause you to have a sense of urgency and hence increase your focus to execute towards your goals.
⚡️ ADVANTAGES of the 12 Week Year Planner System
1) Increased focus and energy.
When every passing week brings you tangibly much closer to the end of the 12-week year, you will feel the need to get off your asses and not waste time. In a typical year and annual resolution system, we lack that sense of urgency to take action towards our goal.
After the first month of the year, our progress towards our goals suffer because we think in the back of our mind that “I’ve got plenty of time. I still have 11 more months to catch up.”
However, in the 12 week year planner system - The shorter period of time forces you to confront your lack of action. We become more conscious of the looming deadline which as a result, motivates us to take action.
2) Less planning, more action.
The second advantage of this 12 week year planner system is that it gives a lot of emphasis on taking action over planning.
Though planning our actions is important, when we have too much time on our hands, we tend to spend too much time planning. A lot of times, we plan and keep spending time planning till we get tired. In the end, our projects die out in the planning phase without ever being executed.
3) More agile, more opportunity
In most cases, you need to have made some meaningful level of progress in the side project before you are able to properly assess whether the side project suits your interest or not.
Now, compare one person who plans their projects on a typical 12-months basis compared to another who executes the 12 week year planner system.
Someone who follows the regular annual calendar will only be able to discover whether he/she likes the side project after about 12 months. That means that you need actually become a year older before you get to properly assess whether you want to pursue something further or not.
However, in comparison, someone who does a 12 week year planner will be able to reach that point of assessment much earlier. He or she will be able to be more agile in terms of trying our new things, and figure out what actually brings meaning and fulfilment to their lives.
