What is the most important goal you'd like to work towards this year? 🩶

[@anjalipatel5812]

My goal is spending more time in nature! Can’t wait to use the Notion template, thank you :)

[@wellwithdora]

What a great goal to have! That's also on my list, I love to hike and I really want to get back into it this year. You're welcome! Thank you for the sweet comment ♥@@anjalipatel5812

[@berniceespanol8441]

Spend less time on my phone

[@wellwithdora]

[@saifmulla5677]

Start my own business and get fit

[@kyndradavis]

I've been looking for the best way to set up a 12 week year in Notion and this is the best I've found. I'm going to use this my first time trying the 12 week year. Thank You!

[@wellwithdora]

Woo! I'm glad it was helpful! Thank youuu xx

[@gabisquizato]

This is THE best notion template for the 12 week method I've ever seen!

[@genericsarcasm]

am i on a mission now to watch all your videos at 3am on a Thursday morning? Yes, yes that's absolutely correct! I find your style feels so genuine and authentic in a way that is accessible and encouraging rather than feeling intimidating. Consider me part of your international support crew, cheering you on from Tasmania! xx

[@wellwithdora]

Ohhh my gosh thank you so so much!! Reading this truly made my day so thank you ♥️ Greetings from Austria!!

[@Lirioperose]

Thank you so much for the template and the guidance ❤

[@wellwithdora]

You are so welcome! ♥️

[@valerie.andara]

[@wellwithdora]

Wooo!! Thank you for tuning in! ♥️

[@KeeshiaPie]

I've been hearing so much about 12 week year. I guess this is my sign to actually do something about it. Really love your personality Dora! Thanks for making these videos, glad the KZbin algorithm landed you on my homepage! Subbed and more motivated to revive my channel than ever!

[@emelyddalgi]

Such a great template! Thank you so much :)

[@wellwithdora]

Thank you! Enjoy xx

[@rawdha9]

Oh man. I like this. Makes me wanna write.😊😊

[@IWant2InspireYou]

Thank you! I’ve never heard of Notion and it’s exactly what I’ve needed to get my head straight around all the things I want to accomplish! Subscribed to your channel…

[@mon2074]

Great template! Thank you so much. I've subscribed, I hope more people find your video. Very helpful especially to start the year.

[@wellwithdora]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Happy to have you here ❤️

[@MetalBere]

Great video. I'll do this

[@caffeinefixbudget]

Glad I found this video. Thank you so much 🥰🌷💗

[@wellwithdora]

Yay I'm so happy it was helpful! ♥️

[@thecrystalwitchASMR]

First off, congratulations on getting monetized!!! I found your channel yesterday and you've double your subscribers in about 24 hours. That's so amazing!!!! It's inspiring to see how much your channel has grown so fast. Wishing you lots of success on your channel. Thank you for this video! I've never been really organized when it comes to achieving goals. I have so many notebooks and post it notes all around my place which gets overwhelming. I already have Notion but haven't quite used it yet. I'm really excited to start using it after watching this video. Thank you again Dora!

[@luxeledi]

Doing my research before jumping in and this Notion is so far the easiest and most promising! Thank you.

[@abzster]

thanks for sharing and providing this! the template looks so minimal and simple to follow with your walkthrough!

[@wellwithdora]

Woo so glad to hear that! You're welcome! ♥️

[@ElizabethObuks]

I really liked this video and your template is great! I've just downloaded and subscribed for more great content :)

[@wellwithdora]

So glad you liked it! Welcome babe I'm so happy to have you here ♥️

[@KatySimpsonLive]

Glad I found this video via your viral one! Many congrats on going viral!! This template, the goal setting and showing us how to use Notion is amazing and incredibly helpful. Thank you so much.

[@wellwithdora]

Thank you so much! I hope the template serves you well! ♥️

[@nadyajaafar78]

Oh wow love this 12 week idea its awesome!!

[@wellwithdora]

I find it to be soo helpful! Eternally grateful to the writers of the book for coming up with it ☺️ Thanks for leaving a comment! ❤️

[@juliahorsfall]

Glad I found your video from your viral one (and congrats!), I'm wanting to grow my channel this year, get more organised and exercise more so this is a really helpful way to achieve my goals, thank you! ❤

[@wellwithdora]

Yay thank you!! Awesome goals to have, have fun with the template! ♥️

[@romelaharutyunyan2127]

Thank you so much for such an elaborate video. I personally find it hard to write down my goals and they stay in mind just running here and there. So having them all in one place will be a game-changer. I will try this out!!!

[@wellwithdora]

I totally get you, I struggled with the same thing in the past! I found that this way of goal-setting really helps narrow down the focus making it more likely to actually work towards the goals themselves 👍🏼 Let me know how it works out and thank you for leaving a comment! ❤️

[@Annettely]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@wellwithdora]

I'm so glad! Have fun with the template! ♥️

[@DinaSimnikova]

Thank you so much! Its great!

[@wellwithdora]

Woo! Glad you like it!! ♥️

[@twills4571]

Finally a template I truly enjoy. Downloaded at 12pm (at lunch), rushed home to complete this evening. Thank You 💕💕

[@KonstantinComentorship]

Hey, Dora, thank you for the video! I wanted to say that you’ve progressed so far! I’ve just checked your very first video and now this… The difference is incredible!

[@wellwithdora]

🥹 Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@LingTinaTV]

Thank you so much for this template! It's gorgeous! I'm starting to use it today! I'm almost finished with the audiobook and wanted to get started on it.

[@wellwithdora]

I'm so happy that it's helpful!! Hope it serves you well ♥️

[@vanessaprestoncreative]

That's a great template, thankyou!!

[@wellwithdora]

You're welcome!! Have fun with it ♥️

[@safiyaandrews3609]

I am definitely going to use this for the rest of the year, thank you

[@wellwithdora]

Yayyy I'm so happy! Hope it serves you well! ♥️

[@StripeyGato]

Love how elegantly you’ve organized all this! I’ve been futzing with the 12 week year for about 4 weeks now. Im looking forward to using the template. Thank you so much!

[@wellwithdora]

Yay! I hope it serves you well!!

[@ABDULBADEEBOGIS]

Thank you so much

[@Shanellekyla88]

[@wellwithdora]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!!

[@AlexanesJourney]

I'll definitely give this a try, it looks so motivating, thank you for sharing your template!!

[@wellwithdora]

Let me know how it goes!! You're welcome!! ☺️

[@AlexanesJourney]

Your template is really user friendly, I love it! I don't use my computer everyday so it's hard to stay consistent and follow my goals, but I'll look if there's a phone application :D @@wellwithdora

[@naincyjainx]

That's awesome. I was looking for something for plan my week and months. This is the best notion template I found on the internet.

[@wellwithdora]

Yaaaay I'm so happy to hear that!! Hope it serves you well!

[@eusouanaschneider]

I love this video. I found your channel yesterday, you got a new subscriber! Already started my planning. I want to start a KZbin channel since 2015 and never really did. I feel like now is the time, I got really inspired by our other video. Thank you so much!

[@wellwithdora]

You can do it! I'm so glad you found it motivating! Hope the template makes the planning easier ♥️

[@zuno1140]

Thank you.

[@sarahtakesnotes]

i saw the video about youtube first and then i got here and i'm completely in love with your energy. Also, i'm gonna use this method for sure!!

[@wellwithdora]

Girl you're making my dayyy! Thank you! Hope the method serves you well ♥️

[@abdulbarikdm]

Good job!

[@zar3125]

[@wellwithdora]

[@wellwithdora]

You're so welcome! I hope it helps you stay organized!

[@AryanGuleria-kj1gt]

your content is amazing, I was surprised when I saw the no. of views on your channel the video quality is like you have a million followers

[@wellwithdora]

Wow, thank you so so much 🥹❤️

[@Daniloviceva]

I agree! 🤗

[@AryanGuleria-kj1gt]

[@arunk2710]

Her content is good. She needs to improve her thumbnails and titles.

[@wellwithdora]

Thank you! I'll work on it 👍🏻@@arunk2710

[@nataliavaduva7063]

Hi Dora! Just discovered your channel and it’s lovely! You are lovely. I was wondering if you could maybe share how you use Notion to plan your videos. And the exact stages you go through from Idea to Posting. I believe this would really help me. Thank you! And great job! xx

[@arkhi.anastasia]

thanks!

[@wellwithdora]

You're welcome! ☺️❤️

[@user-ek5jj2bg5r]

nice content! keep going

[@wellwithdora]

Thanks, will do! ♥️

[@I.am.arig_]

Ive been using another 12 week notion calendar, I hated it and kept deleting it and starting again because it was clunky and annoying. Im setting this notion template up now and it feels much better.

[@wellwithdora]

Yay I'm happy you're giving it another go! Hope it serves you well!

[@MuEnViFitness]

What a coincidence. I come to this video, I like it, I check your channel and you're here in Canary Islands. I'm from Gran Canaria. What a coincidence huh? Anyway, great video and I'll be using this template, thank you!

[@wellwithdora]

What a coincidence! Have fun with the template!

[@omod2793]

Thanks for this video! I am going to start doing this. I am a new subscriber. I just discovered you 🙂. What do you use? The desktop or the Web version of Notion?

[@wellwithdora]

You're welcome! I use the desktop version of Notion! Happy to have you here ♥️

[@danethlong]

Dora THaaNNKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wellwithdora]

You're welcome!!

[@Victoriaanlight]

Love the template! Thank you for sharing! I have a question - how can we customize and permanently change the questions in a "daily check in"?

[@wellwithdora]

Yay I'm so glad! You can edit the template to change the questions permanently: Daily Check In > New Day (click on edit template) > delete the questions that are in there and replace with whatever you want > Save Template I hope that helps!!

[@Ladesocials]

Hello, Dora Appreciate this video, but is there any place to measure the goals after setting them?

[@itim1234]

Compact and easygoing! Just discovered the book and then found this guidance :) Thanks, Dora ❤ Feel excited to see Our Blissful Year to be (12-week ahead is also the week of Thai New Year!) Also impressed with your AM PM Check-in ! would try using em as my continuing daily journal Let's see how far we can go and grow :) 👍🏼 You've already done 1 year KZbin Channel ahead of time Congratulations on that too! :) Felt inspired ^^ ❤ PS It would be nice if you could share your experience with the Vision board. I've heard a lot about it but never exactly launched it myself so let's try to start >____

[@wellwithdora]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're finding the video and the template useful! I actually wanted to make a video about vision boards soon too, so that's definitely going to be in the works then! Thanks for the reminder ♥️

[@CyannSaguid]

ca i know what is the font of your thumbnail cz it’s too attractive ❤

[@leahaverett3224]

I love the template, but when I downloaded on my Mac, and tried to edit it said I didn't have permission to use. So I then signed up for Notion, but it only takes me to their main get started page. I tried to search for you template but it was not found. Please help.

[@wellwithdora]

Hi! You should first have an account with Notion and be logged into the desktop app. Then click on the link provided and click duplicate. It should work then! Let me know if that clears it up!

[@902rl]

How do you use the progress bar widget at the top of your notion template? It's not really hooked up to anything right so you can't really use it?

[@wellwithdora]

So the progress bar at the top is an Indify widget that is basically not meant to be "used", instead just looked at. It helps to visualise how much time there is remaining in a week, month, quarter, and year. Hope that clears it up!

[@MDeezayyy]

What program do you use to record your screen?

[@wellwithdora]

Just the one that comes with a MacBook!

[@gojohnnygo2021]

It says i do not have access to that button?

[@wellwithdora]

Hi! Have you duplicated the template to your Notion? It only works if you have a Notion account and are logged into the desktop app! Hope that clears it up

[@SumitKvolgs]

Hii

[@wellwithdora]

Hey!

[@SumitKvolgs]

How are you doing

[@endinaye00]

It says I don't have permission to run the "New 12-week year button"

[@wellwithdora]

You should copy it to your Notion first before you run any buttons. Hope that clears it up!

[@amberrodriguez5235]

Your template didn’t work for me :(

[@wellwithdora]

That's a bummer, sorry about that! Have you tried updating the Notion app? Sometimes that does it. Other than that you click on the template, click duplicate, and then you probably have to log in to Notion through your browser, or if you are already logged in it should say "Duplicating to "your name" Dashboard". Let me know how it goes!

[@beautyandaging]

Some constructive feedback. The background music is distracting for a tutorial. I used to do it and people told me to stop and actually stopped watching the video.

[@biancsleejardim]

I quite like it personally, makes the content more engaging 😊

[@OanaNguyen]

I think it was okay because the music was not too loud and I could still hear what she was saying.

[@crumbdinger]

I also like it as a kind of white noise. I tend to stop watching videos without background music as I become distracted by the sounds around my building and am not able to focus on the content of the video.

[@wellwithdora]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I tried to keep the music proportionate to my voice (not too loud!) but I see your point. I'll definitely keep that in mind!!

[@shivar7125]

love the content, the music over it is annoying and i find myself trying so hard to focus on your voice.

[@wellwithdora]

thank you! I will keep in mind the loudness of the music next time :))

[@alamin_hossain_11]

Hi, I was analyzing your KZbin channel ( Dora ). I just wanted to let you know that your video and thumbnails are good. I was impressed but you are not fully SEO on your video. So your videos don't reach more people. If you SEO your videos, organically more people will see your videos and go viral. I've shared below your channel issue. 1. your video titles are not SEO-friendly 2. Your video is not SEO-friendly 3. You do not have to use any video and channel tags 4. Your description is not SEO-friendly 5. Your SEO score ( 0 out of 100 ) 6. Keywords used are not researched properly 7. Videos are not promoted properly 8. You don't have your targeted view

[@wellwithdora]

Thank you! Yes, that's something I could perhaps work on in the future. Right now, I'm more focused on creating and having fun with it. I'm still learning, but definitely appreciate the input! ☺️

[@alamin_hossain_11]

Let me know if you need any help on this matter@@wellwithdora

[@alamin_hossain_11]

I understand but if you want I can help you grow your KZbin channel @wellwithdora

[@wellwithdora]

That's okay, I'm good for now! Thank you so much!

[@alamin_hossain_11]

ok. good lack.@@wellwithdora

[@kissandpunch]

Thank you so much for putting this video together and the free template! Please consider adding the weekly scorecard element as that is a huge part of the 12 Week Year book.
