Transcripts
hi thanks so much for being here welcome
or welcome back this video is going to
be something a little bit just a tiny
bit different I am going to be reviewing
my 12we goals and updating my planners
accordingly I guess to the week that I'm
supposed to be in I know that I'm a
little behind on what I wanted to
accomplish on for on week one which was
last week but um but yeah it's never too
late to kind of reset and keep going
where where you're trying to go so if
you're interested on topics like this I
hope you stick around I've been using
these exceed notebook from Walmart it is
one of my favorites this used to be my
former bullet journal to go notebook I
really loved the size of this notebook
cuz it's taller as in A5 but a little
bit Slimmer if you can tell here by my
hands I don't know I have tiny hands so
it's not necessarily A B6 size and not
an A5 either it's just I don't know it's
just I call it the A5 Slim So um yeah it
has been it it has been one of my
favorites for a while I love the cream
paper that it provides and it's do git
they do offer other options as well if
you happen to prefer a different one and
I believe it has about 10 and maybe 200
pages I can't remember exactly um and I
don't know if it says right here it
might say in here um it actually has let
me tell you 120 Pages actually 120 it is
a 5x 8 and 1 qu um I think that's what
it says can see uh daugh a grid and it
has a pocket in the back and cream paper
the paper is
78 um GSM so it's very thick sort of I
mean it's very thick um I gu comparing
to goichi um perfect for um markers and
stuff like that I used it with pretty
much everything that I have I haven't
really tried it with um fountain pens
that I remember maybe I did um let me
see yeah there's a fountain pen in here
that I just happened to found in a um
lettering kit so I don't know if you can
tell right there the writing and how it
looks I just I like it but I think that
it bleeds through too much so I I'm not
necessarily using of hair I've been
actually using my tpie pen for pretty
much everything on my planners so but
yeah anyways I uh reread the 12we year
and uh this time around I actually went
through and took endless notes and um
highlighted pretty much everything in
the book and just took my time I
actually took about an entire day want
to say in a weekend and went through my
notes and my highlights and what I
wanted to work on and my um information
I guess that I answered from the work um
work sheets or or prompts I gets that
you get throughout the book I still have
to kind of go back and review a few of
them cuz some of them I just kind of um
wrote tentative or drafts but then I
wanted to I still want to go back and um
update them with a clear more
intentional goal goals I did um use this
um hour time uh over time blocking sort
of approach for how I wanted to plan for
the goals that I'm working on um like I
said at the beginning of the year I'm
not necessarily working on goals goals
more of um I'm sort of focusing on more
Milestones than not so um I do have
another video on that topic if you
happen to be interested I can link it
below but um basically it's just
bettering myself making sure that I am
evolving as a person as a human as a
wife as a mom as a student um in all
that stuff all the areas that are
important to me so based on those I
created this cute spread that um I
wanted to make it fun and approachable
and I just really wanted to have fun
doing it and really use thejo sort of um
setup approach here to make it
functional but also fun and um I don't
know attractive so what I did was I went
ahead and on the top I doodled the goals
or the Milestones that I'm trying to
focus on So selfcare Family Home
Learning money and travel and then um in
here there's a quote from the book there
is the summary of the areas that I want
to work on on these different categories
and then here I have a week um uh for
each each one of these cutouts are a
week for the 12 weeks and then um
another quote here and then a summary
here of the actual goal so for example
for self-care that's something I have
been working on slowly every single
month for for a few months now but I
still want to you know get better and
and evolve right so I said that I want
my body to be fit my mind to be clear
and I I see myself as a gym girl um
every day I do what I really love so
this kind of in it's like a summary of
what I really want to do so first of all
I want to continue my workout my workout
routine um I kind of have been tweaking
it a little bit because of just because
I want to switch things around but um
but I still want to at least minimum
workout 3 days a week so that's what I
the main goal that I have for this next
12 weeks and then as a part of self care
it's mindset and just the portion of
being clear and doing what I love um
includes um not necessarily wanting to
control what it's not in my control so
that's something that I have to I guess
it's part of wanting to see everybody
also with the desire of volution and and
productivity and and all that stuff but
not everybody is in the same mindset so
and that's okay that that that is okay I
just have to allow myself to let them
get to that point whenever they want to
do so anyways that's just part of that
then I do have um other areas that I um
sort of I tried to make clear based
based on the smart goal approach but um
I guess I since there are Milestones I
guess for personal Milestones they're
not necessarily um measurable to apply
point is just more of a being mindful of
um I don't know I just being mindful on
on a daily basis and hopefully by the
end of the 12 weeks I can see a change
internally um so anyways I wrote a few
things for all the areas and um the idea
is that I am focusing on one or two at a
time depending on if I can interlock a
few of them so what I did was the
selfcare and family time I'm just kind
of um blocking those two together
meaning that in the week I am focusing
on selfcare and in the weekend it's more
family and more mindset um more
meaningful quality time um but then on
these areas even though I do have a
certain goal for each of the areas I'm
focusing on these three which is
workouts schedule um what's this U study
or learning which is I'm start I'm
starting my semester on May 1st so I
want to focus on that and then um
monthly transfers to complete my saving
goal of the year and that's that
something that I still have to do I was
kind of waiting until we came back from
Japan and all that stuff and everything
kind of set back into place so now is
the time to do that so in May is the
time for me to start setting those
transfers so those three areas are my
focus so this is basically a step just
one thing that I can do to make sure
that I am working towards this goal of
the saving the extra cash that I wanted
to save so after do that I'll do that
um so um so yeah anyways based on these
is where I um pulling my information for
my week so this was last week um it does
doesn't really have a date to it I did
want it to begin on April 29th and it's
supposed to end on July 22nd so slowly
working towards it um not necessarily
feeling like I feel like I can do better
so I'm going to continue to work on this
sort of approach for my week but what
I'm going to do is um write one thing
that I can do on my dailies so I can
remember and um work towards towards the
goal took some time and wrote how I
would like my day to go on a daily basis
throughout the week so I wrote my time I
liked to um wake up at 6:00
a.m. and um I'll use about 2 hours for
my me time then I will work on my most
important thing of the day then other
to-dos that are not necessarily urgent
but they are important for the day then
I will do a break for family time other
to-dos for the day any other important
things that still need to get done for
the day or planning for the next day and
then reviewing um actually any other
important things at 5:00 p.m. and then
at 6:00 I will review and get ready for
the next day and then the rest of the
evening is just free time to do whatever
it could be my workouts it could be my
Funtime it could be anything learning
studying whatever um that I haven't
gotten to work on throughout the the day
and in the morning so yeah um so that's
that's the ideal and then I just use a
bar here to highlight I guess the days
that I'm going to be working on this so
me time I do this every single morning
it's something that it's kind of a
routine right now so but I still wanted
to just kind of give it some time so
let's say that a from Monday to Saturday
that's the first two hours of the day
whenever I wake up hopefully at 6:00 it
will be for me time and then on Sundays
the plan is to rest and sleep in so
whenever I feel like waking up um then
the next item the Urgent to-dos are
going to be from Monday through Friday
same thing with any other to-dos as you
can see here um will be from Monday
through Friday and then the idea is that
on Saturdays the complete the entire day
is just for Home Care family time
anything else that it's just more
relaxed and then uh the same thing for
Sunday and uh in the evening on Sunday I
do want to continue the my habit I guess
of getting ready for the week ahead so
that this is my view my ideal view on my
week and even though it's not
necessarily that different from what I
used to do anyways I am still applying a
few things and tips from the 12 week
which is first of all give it a day
second just focus on one thing every
single day that you can do towards that
goal just kind of break the goal going
um backwards into your planning which is
again something that I used to do
anyways but um but now I'm implementing
it sort of visually so yeah so this is
my week one it's already gone I don't
think that I did super good on it I
could have um just work a little bit
better on my workouts I did instead of
three days I did two which is still
something better than nothing but I
still can do much better on that area I
did spend plenty of quality time with
family so that's a plus um I did not
work on any any home projects or
anything like that I believe I studied
one day of last week or two maybe um did
not set up any transfers and did not
work on any drafting or traveling or any
any of that and as far as the three main
ones like I said I worked two times and
I studied twice and did not set up the
TR or the transfers so this is one that
I can just set right now and be done
with it and all I have to do is just
come back in week 12 and review that
everything still going smooth so that's
something that I can do this weekend and
uh the other ones the other two is
something that I still have to plan for
the week so anyways this is my overview
of my 12 weeks so what I'll do is I'm
just going to use this information right
here to plan my week ahead now I'm going
to be focusing on my personal planning
first and then work so I don't know how
long this video will take I don't know
if I'll be able to finish it today so if
anything changes in lighting or um
whatever something like that I will let
you know anyways um that means that I
just filmed one part today and the
second part at some of the time
so um week we are supposed to be if I am
using this again as a guide I started on
April 29th so that should have
been last Monday so let's just add week
one here just for visual week
one I am in week two okay I switched
things around and just wrote the actual
week on the right side of the page and I
still had to restart cuz I was counting
it incredibly so I have started
supposedly right on week my week one was
started on the 29th of April and is
supposed to end my 12 weeks supposed to
end on the 22nd of July so it just ends
on Sunday the 2 first so so now that I
have this view of my weeks I can come
over here and just kind of plug in what
I can do um a lot of things will be
repeating things so for example working
out 3 days a week is just 3 days weeks I
just have to kind of skip them to the
best day that I think I can um manage
usually on Mondays I have better energy
so I can predu it right now it does
depend on how I feel and what else is
happening in my body especially if I'm
in those days I don't necessarily work
out on those days because I just don't
feel comfortable so um I just kind of
move things around when that happens but
let's just say that I do want to go
ahead and plan for Monday so I will do a
workout here so I can just do like a
symbol instead of writing it that way
I'll have space for any other
information that comes up for the day so
if I work out on Monday maybe I can
still work out on Tuesday sometimes I I
don't mind working back to back um
working out back to back but sometimes
it depends on the routine that I do um
maybe the next day I do need to kind of
take it slow so um but I can
still maybe I'll say that on Monday and
Tuesday I'll work out and we'll see how
that goes and then I know that on
Fridays usually I feel energized I think
it's it's like mentally I know that the
weekend is coming it more relaxed so and
I don't know it just gives me a little
bit extra energy so I will just pre-plan
it here for Friday and then see how that
goes so this supposed to be some kind of
doodle of Weights
but so if I if I continue this sort of
approach then I have my three days and
i' if I actually make them happen then I
conclude my I guess that week Focus the
same thing will happen for the rest of
the the the 12 week project the only
difference that will I guess happen that
I do anticipate is that it depends on
how I feel and it depends on everything
else that's happening on that day so for
example on um if I had an appointment
like if I wanted to just take one day of
rest here and do the workout on this
Thursday I do have an appointment coming
up so I can't do it on that day I don't
necessarily want to schedule more than
one thing like that on a specific day
because things can change and sometimes
appointments can run a little longer or
we end up doing running some errands um
since we're already out and stuff like
that so um yeah I don't like to uh
schedule too many things in one day so I
guess that this approach should be fine
for my week two if I um yeah if I just
stick to it it should suffice my first
goal so the the second is studying so I
am completing my um project management
certificate and also college classes so
I um work at school so I do want to make
sure that I'm studying at least the 20
hours a week and that's a minimum so and
do do want to I do know that the morning
times is my best time to study and I do
know that again on Fridays I am
disconnecting I even though if I try to
stay focused and productive sort of
since it is Friday it's just my brain
knows that it's time to just disconnect
and let go so I would like to I prefer
to schedule anything intense like that
studying working and stuff like that
throughout the week during the morning
time so um I know that on Thursday I
won't be able to do that since we have
that appointment so I have this 3 days
that I hopefully will be able to study
so let's just add
glasses they supposed to be glasses I
don't know maybe I can come back here
and switch these Doodles for something
else or maybe add stickers to it but for
now I just want to have some kind of
reminder that I want to do my studies in
the morning so here is
workout and
workout and then study
so I have those set and then the last
one was to transfer and that's something
that I can just do in one day so I am
just going to schedule it up here so
schedule
transfers money so if I do that one then
I can just check that off for the entire
period of the 12we plan because again it
was just one step to take so that that
should suffice that one
and uh so anyways this is what I will do
I guess on my main planner and just to
because I open this one every single
morning I it will be a reminder for me
to hey I said I was going to work on
this so I can get to my goals this is
what I'm going to be focusing first and
then move on so from here I will do just
my days on my school planner which I
still have to set up but what I will do
is just going to pre pre-plan what I'm
the the sessions or the chapters that I
have to read that day or whatever it is
that I'm working on um in terms of that
on my on that planner and then for the
workout I just kind of want to ensure
that I have my workout outfit ready for
those 3 days and that's pretty much it
um and then I also have been adding
alarms to my phone to remind me to do it
usually at 6: o00 or something like that
it's when I'm trying to do workouts for
now and um and yeah so I guess that as
far as my personal sort of planning this
is what I will do just reminders in the
monthly and then go from there when it's
time to set up my weeks I would just
come over here and start plugging in the
things that I want to do usually on the
habits section and I will add the
priority of the thing um that I said I
was going to do and then the other
portion that I could do is
um just uh if I had anyways um anything
to do with um content creation or work
or anything like that I would also add a
reminder here just to kind of remember
to look into that but since I don't have
my my three main goals this month have
nothing to do with work or content cont
creation or any of that then I don't
have to add anything to my content
planning so um but I do that doesn't
mean I don't work on it um it just means
that my priorities are the other areas
and then once those are done I can focus
on this so what I've been doing is uh
for my content creation is just really
just plugging in things that I want to
talk about at some point so this was one
topic that I wanted to share uh in case
anybody was looking for a new I guess
idea or different idea to apply the
teachings of the 12we plan um and uh and
yeah so that that's what I've been doing
I just wrote my notes in here and um I
wanted to uh just share that with you
and that's part of my content creation
and I went ahead and created a a visual
here of a few months ahead so I know
what kind of topics I want to talk about
ahead of time and sometimes I can change
sometimes um I end up making more than
one video on that specific topic um or
something like that I don't know but the
point is that um I do focus on these
first and then after that it's when I do
everything else um and then actually
this one is one that I um kind of wanted
to interlock with the 12we plan because
it's it kind of it's a technique sort of
to plan which is color coding and um
color coding for productivity and um I
did a collaboration with with plan my
one life um her name is Britney uh we
talked a little bit about what topic we
could chat in our respective channels
and um that then we can refer to each
other's tips and stuff like that so I
will link her video Below on the topic
and uh in Minds as well in case you want
to go into check that out but basically
it's just about um in my case it's
talking about um techniques and and ways
that I use color coding to approach my
week and make sure that I'm focusing on
what I said I was going to focus um even
though this is my work planner I still
Block in the times that I want to focus
on more personal Milestones so I know
that I have that time already
compromised and I want to you know um
anything that is content related or work
related it needs to be scheduled around
that so anyways I will link those videos
below and uh and yeah I think that
basically this is my way of using the
12we plan approach I hope that in one
way or another it gives you some
inspiration and ideas to set up your own
if you have questions suggestions or if
you would like me to elaborate a little
bit more do let me know um and yeah
until then thank you so much for
watching and I will see you on the next
