I TOTALLY love your content!! I'm binge watching your videos, it's like having a fun, super efficient work bestie who keeps you accountable and on track - while making everything look so easy peasy. I have left my 9-5 and gone freelance a couple of months ago and I'm an introvert so I love this lifestyle, but some things look way too much scarier now that I'm alone. Your videos are like a warm pat on the shoulder, saying hey, I know that, I've been there, you can make it, here's how. So, THANK YOU. 💖

I used this template for the first time today and I feel as light as a feather. I can see more than 3 hours in front of myself for the first time!! I tried planning on paper and it worked in a limited way - this is everything I needed to feel more in control and competent. I work on 15+ projects every month in my role and I've always struggled to prioritise the dozens of tasks required to take these one-off events from concept to delivery for individual clients. Thank you for making me feel excited to go to work on a Sunday evening for the very first time ❤❤❤

I really like the template and really works well as a catchall for all that I'm working on. My only note would be I would like if it could link to the Notion Calendar. Not just the To-Dos in the weekly plan but It would be amazing if for each Container it had its own calendar that way you can have different color using the notion calendar and then for each Associated Tasks for each Container if they could automatically populate in to the Notion calendar for easy Calendar Blocking. You can have a visual in the calendar of the colors of time you are spending for each container as well as the actually amount written down in the original template. I was trying to figure out how to do just that but I'm not super well versed in notion unfortunately.
@EcomCarl3 ай бұрын
What an insightful approach! 🚀 Incorporating a weekly planning routine and leveraging Notion templates can truly streamline productivity and alleviate decision fatigue. The customizable nature of the template allows for tailored organization, promoting both efficiency and mental peace.
@elizabethjohnson4383 ай бұрын
I love this so much! I like the manual bits because all other "automated" task programs "set it and forget it" means I actually forget it...and this one just roughly time blocks, but doesn't set actual time blocks in a calendar, which usually somehow makes me never work in those blocks.

I kept beating myself up for not getting enough done and now I see why I wasn't able to. I have wayyyy too many tasks and projects I'm doing all at once. I'm hoping that using this will help me better manage my weeks in the future (and hopefully I can be less stressed and stop piling on so many projects).

Hello @deya! I really love your vibe and thanks for putting a name to the kind of small business owner I want to be. I have been using this template since May and it has been so fun and motivating to use! I have been using other templates and none worked as well like this one of yours in keeping me going, so thank you! After using it for these months, I wanted to ask if there's a way to add a summary of the hours in each category on the main page so I can keep track of my progress overall and see where I need to put more time into, without having the click back into each of the weeks and get the hours manually.. hope that makes sense!

This is going to sound like first world problems but something I struggle with is getting motivated to expand our business since it’s my side hustle and already bringing in close to $100k and our W2 income is already in the high 6 figures. I cut back to 80% at my W2 this year to spend more time with family but I’ve spent the last 10 years working 80ish hours per week so this feels so alien and guilty. I’m constantly thinking about expanding my business but now that I’ve found your channel I’m reconsidering if maybe I should just keep things where they are for a year or two and take more time to enjoy with family and the kids while they’re young.

@soniachern72683 ай бұрын
Why do you want to expand your business? The whys are where lie your motivations. But what if not having the motivation to expand your business is a sign that you don't have to? Or a sign for you to rest? We're very conditioned by society to chase for endless growth, to reach that sales goal, to increase profits etc but we rarely stop to ponder, what's enough for us? How much is enough to sustain our ideal lifestyle and can we slow down once we've achieved that income goal? Take this as an opportunity for you to be introspective and think about the priorities in your life. As for feeling guilty about rest, maybe it's because your body is not used to resting. Think of resting like a skill where you have to keep practicing to get better at it. You haven't been resting much for the past decade I presume, so it takes time for your body and nervous system to acclimatize to it.
@padhatam3 ай бұрын
@@soniachern7268 honestly I think it’s because I want my partner to have the ability to work fewer hours and spend more time with the kids, which is partly why I feel guilty because I’m able to do that but she can’t right now since her job isn’t really suited to that. But we probably could be very comfortable with dramatically less income so maybe I need to spend time meditating on what enough means for me and my family.

@MyNameIsDeya3 ай бұрын
hey Ashlyn! I tell them 2-3 months ahead of time I'm taking x time period off and then basically have 2 options: 1) do the work ahead of time so you get paid the same or 2) deduct that $ from your monthly retainer If you pick 1 just communicate that clearly to the client that the deliverables will remain the same during that month. It'll depend obviously a little on what type of work you do + how much of your value-add depends on actually being responsive during that time period so just communicate it openly with the client. Make sure to answer the question they're thinking: "what changes for me? What do I have to do now to accommodate your time off?" --> you address that: "Nothing will change for you. x will still be delivered on x date... etc"
