Trust is a tree that towers 50 feet above us

Grown over time through many seasons

Believing in something more than just the surface

I trust that this is worth it

but I will keep counting my blessings, knowing I can't count that high

I am creation, both haunted and holy. Made in glory. Even the depths of the night cannot blind me. When You guide me

notion reset: new quarter edition and others

As July marks the beginning of a new quarter, I have decided to make a blog post on how I use notion to reset for a new quarter. In this blog post, I'll share how I use notion to reset for the new quarter and provide tips on how you can integrate these strategies into your routine.

why reset by quarter?

I started resetting by quarter, at the beginning of the year I watched a YouTube video explaining the 12-week-year method (the video included a notion template which is the one I use for my reset) and resetting by quarter has really helped me keep track of my goals (i do also reset by week and month but resetting by quarter is more in-depth in keeping track of my goals)

what is the 12-week year method?

the 12-week year method is a productivity and goal-setting system designed to help individuals and organizations achieve more in a shorter period. developed by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington, this method shifts the traditional annual planning mindset to a more focused 12-week cycle.

review the past month

I review by month not by quarter (this is reflecting on the past month, in my diary notion template) before diving into planning for the new quarter or month, it's essential to reflect on the past. here’s how I do it:

achievements and highlights: I found this template at the beginning of the year and I have edited it to match my own taste (I’ll link the template below), this particular template has a monthly reset prompt and that is what I use. I create a new page for the diary database and I fill in the prompts. this helps me recognize my progress and stay motivated.

the first picture is how the database looks on the outside, I’ve already reviewed for June and planned for July, and the second picture is how it looks on the inside, I used my July database as it is really only my goals that are on there, when I’m doing my reset, I review my goals below the divider, if I didn’t complete a certain goal I write about that and if I did complete it I write about how it worked out for me

goal setting for the new quarter

it's going to get a tad bit complicated here but I hope you understand it, first off I have multiple notion pages for each thing, I have a language learning page, and I have a learning space (for other things I learn like online courses or skills that are not necessarily school work) lately I started learning “the introduction to public relations” online.

what I do for my weekly reset is I add each lesson to the database, and for my language learning space I have a goals page there specifically for my language goals (at the beginning of the month I add my language goals, while during the week I add lessons that aid those language goals)

after setting those up, I then move on to my dreams and goals page, this page is where everything is and it's all kind of connected. at the start of the year, I added all the goals I wanted to achieve this year to the main database and in that database is a task list database when I complete tasks it updates my progress bar, and at the start of a new quarter, I add tasks to each goal for that quarter. and each day i go to the main tasks page and update it. tasks are divided by day, week and overdue

the goals that are completed are my goals for the first quarter. after I’ve set up my language goals, and tasks under my goals for each month, I then divide everything into tasks on the 12-week year page, it's divided by days and weeks (just in a table really simple and easy), below you, can see the results of the first quarter and also the planning for the first week of July.

updating my dashboard

workout schedule: I do this weekly though I add whatever workout plan I’m following to my fitness database

habit tracker: consistency is key to achieving goals. I use a habit tracker to monitor daily habits that contribute to my larger objectives

I update a lot of pages with templates for a new day, and I’m just going to list them out and add the pictures below

cleaning database

self-care tracker

skincare tracker

Bible study page

Finance page

game plan

meal planner/kitchen

Tomato Pomodoro (I update this each day with tasks from 12 week year, to use the Pomodoro timer and see how much time I spend on a certain thing)

tips for integrating notion into your routine

start small: if you’re new to notion, start with a simple setup and gradually expand as you become more comfortable.

utilize templates: notion offers a variety of templates that can save you time and give you a head start.

customize to your needs: personalize your notion workspace to fit your unique workflow and preferences.

consistency is key: regularly updating and reviewing your notion pages is essential for staying organized and achieving your goals.

for those who are just starting with notion and those who prefer something simple or just don’t have time to learn notion, get a template. I’ve been using notion for approximately 3 years now, when I started I used “the throne of pages” notion template and I didn’t get it but over the years I learnt it because I had time and wanted to learn. if you’re just looking to use notion simply get a template, there are many free and paid notion templates and you just need to find what works for you. don’t be overly complicated like me. like I said before I am obsessed with notion.

disclaimer: most of my personal templates are free templates, I edited them to my liking. the ones I can find I’ll link below

I hope this helps in some way temi out 🎀
