how I plan my week as a freelancer in 2023 ( + free Notion template)

[@jessejennings]

This is a dream come true for any freelancer. WOW. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@robinsonzoey]

Wow, this Notion setup is gold! While I use Notion for planning, I've been relying on boost app social to spruce up my content for clients. I’m thinking these two combined would be a killer combination for freelancers. Thanks for the share! 🙌

[@YourGirl.Lauren]

Agreed! I've been on the boost app bandwagon too. My fave feature is their story templates, straight fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@alivialee]

I've been using this template for 6 months. It's truly been game-changing for me! Thank you!!💜

[@MyNameIsDeya]

so so happy to hear that! :)

[@BlotVerse-q5c]

Best Template I ever saw. Thankyou so much for making and making it available

[@charabaja2004]

This is a life saver. I have a lot in my plate and creating notion template make me even more overwhelmed. I can't believe you're sharing this for free. I love it so much! Thank youuu ❤

[@antonyjmathias]

Deya you’re the best!

[@rodrigorodrigo8631]

Still at the beginning of the video and if you are sharing the template dang cannot thank you enough, was looking for something like this for days. I mean we love being productive, but who wants to learn all those techie stuffs or whatsoever just to have a simple notion system. Plus it is a sub from me

[@MyNameIsDeya]

So glad it's helpful, Rodrigo! Let me know how you go with the template. :)

[@jazhhh]

love this! so glad i came across this because i'm about to start having 2-3 clients and i want to make sure i'm going to start right and not ruin the work-life balance that i've developed after my last full time job. thank you so much!

[@seriahalexus]

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@Tsaih181]

Wow this is incredible! i just discovered your channel yesterday, and I wish I had found it 2 yrs ago. I cant believe you are sharing this template for free. This is of incredible value. Thank you again.

[@The_Nightreader]

Thank you so much, Deya. This planner is just what i searched for.

[@Story92]

About to cry. This 20-minute video is going to save me so much time 😭

[@aliceh3551]

Ive been looking for something like this for so long, Im so excited to try this! Thank you so much, im currently binge watching all your videos, Ive learnt so much already!! Thank you!🥰

[@lauraspacie5185]

I love love this. Ive downloaded a lot pf weekly planner templates but i think this one takes the crown x

[@Frannypack24]

This video gave me pure enjoyment and excitement.

[@ashimashid]

Thank you so much!!! I tried your previous template for 3 months EVERY DAY and it has totally changed my life. I've been much more productive. I just customized this one and I'm super excited to try it out!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Ahhhh that makes my life, Mahshid - so glad it was useful!!

[@esther.slocum]

Thank you so much for this, you are so loved

[@marioclarke5918]

Thank you!🤠

[@tfairmanxo]

Hi Deya, loving your videos so much and quickly moved my tasks over to start using this template! I've been struggling finding the right weekly task breakdown as I'm not that familiar yet with templates & databases in Notion. 2 questions: 1) how can I add the 'Containers & Time Estimates' a part of the weekly template? Since I plan to use the same ones each week, this would save me so much time. 2) how can I add reoccurring weekly tasks to the 'Weekly Plan' ? Similar reason as above. Thank you in advance!

[@emmawolno5120]

Curious about the same thing. The containers don't seem to copy over each week for me!

[@cemreozturk6957]

Thank you very much for sharing this with us! 🥰 I just found out this video and this was the best weekly planning system I saw so far. I will use it right now to manage my week in general, not focusing on the work. I am excited to have all my weeks recorded and I can go back to it in order to see how I spent my time at specific time frames 😍

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Appreciate that loads -- thank you!!

[@chinedumchima7709]

Great videos as always thank you Deya for this amazing template.

[@fernandasarmento432]

This is really great, Deya! I loved it!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

So happy to hear that, Fernanda!

[@sofdotwav]

This is great, thank you so much! Now I just need to remember to update Notion LOL

[@carsynt.205]

12:56 Hi Deya!! I’ve been struggling to get my workflow down as a freelancer. The other day I saw one of your videos and it really helped me actually manage my clients and thoughts lol! Thank you so much. I fell down a rabbit hole on your channel. Butttt with that being said I have a dilemma regarding the notion template, the “Containers & Time Estimates” isn’t linked to the “Parking Lot aka All-Encompassing To-Do list.” So when I try to add it to a container, it doesn’t exist. Could you help me identify what the problem is? I just started using notion yesterday and I no clue what’s going on to even google it 😅 I would really appreciate your help, thanks 🙏🏾

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hiya Carsyn! So glad you're enjoying the content. :) So yes, the containers are linked to the weekly plan, not the parking lot -- so that the time estimates are calculated on a weekly basis versus your entire parking lot. So when you put in your weekly to-do's, you add the container + time estimate and it calculates out on a weekly basis what your spread of time is. Hope that clears it up! :)

[@lukasethan6429]

Excellent!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Let me know how you go with the template! :)

[@songpeng6461]

Thank you very much! Thank you for the excellent template and explanation!❣❣❣

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Glad it was helpful, Song Peng!

[@seritabelton]

I’m new to Notion and so glad I found you! Under the Big Project list is there a way to just duplicate a list? As a web designer my project tasks are usually the same.

[@Furki4_4]

I haven't used Notion before bc it looks so complicated but your template looks sooooooo simple and if I built a template, it would look like yours. I'm customising it so that it can fit how I work. Last but not least, I actually haven't worked as a freelancer but I believe your template will help me a lot ! Thank you soo much

[@MegaScottable]

I just set this up and I’m loving it so far. One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that I have many big projects that have the same subtasks but I can duplicate a big project. I have to create a new one and reenter all the individual tasks. Is there a way to create project templates that I can just duplicate and add to my big projects parking lot…?

[@emmericdupreez]

Thank you so much for this!

[@Sonam-ey6zc]

Thank you ❤

[@letsgoviral777]

Thank you!

[@jhubtv9431]

Hi Deya Thank you for this awesome insight. Please how do I know a clients name on upwork when I check his review, so I can include it in my proposal when applying for a job?

[@katemass6898]

This plan looks perfect, Deya! But I'm failing to download it , keep getting an error after typing in my email

[@allexandre888]

Thank you for another excellent video! One question, how can I set the columns' width in board view? Yours weekdays columns looks narrow and much better... Mine are very wide. Tried to find a tutorial on Google, but I can't. If you compare your parking lot columns with the weekdays columns it's easy to see the difference. Thanks.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hey Alexandre! Great Q. If you go into the 3 small dots on the top right of your board view, click 'Layout' and scroll down to 'Card size', you can pick your card size! Hope that helps.

[@kianparas7974]

I think we should all go bananas for a good plan to make sure things don't slip through the cracks for a sho(e) - in of a 2023!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hahaha!

[@snippetsofpam184]

HOW DO YOU DO THE CHECKMARKS TO SHOW ON THE WEEKLY PLAN?

[@Manish-kg6xm]

Not receiving the template

[@TessaRamsay]

Asana made me mad and Google was oversimplified. I love all your stuff. Thank you!

[@jamesgaudet]

My download didn't have the "Containers & Time Estimates" section

[@astratow]

what is your opinionion on emacs org mode?

[@Haru-f7g]

HI Deya! The template I received in the email is the last year's one. How can I get the one in the video?? Thanks!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hi Haru - sorry about that. Should be fixed now & I replied to your email! :)

[@Financiallyfreeauthor]

Are you spying on me? :D

[@vintagepomegranate2981]

I went to the website and entered my email but have yet to receive the template in my inbox. I tried twice to ensure I spelled everything right, checked my spam, and waited a few minutes to give it time to send. Is there anything I'm missing? This template seems really helpful, and I want to try it out.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hey!! Can you email me at [e-mail] with your email and I can double check?

[@vintagepomegranate2981]

@@MyNameIsDeya It actually just went through! I just had to be a little more patient, haha. Thanks for the super quick reply, though :)

[@MyNameIsDeya]

ahh awesome! :) hope you enjoy the template!

[@mynameisankur]

I cannot duplicate the template for some reason

[@howhello354]

Please take a puse after each video segment. It's hard to follow 😢😢

[@duailytami4135]

Deya! TY for this template 🙌🤍

[@MyNameIsDeya]

You're v welcome! Hope it's helpful. :)
