This video was the actionable video I needed since going through the 12-week-year videos and writings. Thank you for this. I am about to set mine to start by February of 2023. Would love to be accountability partners with you.
Omg yay! I love that it was so helpful! I’m finishing up my new one I’m going to be implementing Jan - Mar!💕
At this time here on TH-cam is a great place to check in and then on insta @leesa.louise is where I’m at as well! Still trying to figure out the best way to make that community space + where to do it. Facebook seems the best place but many aren’t interested in another Facebook group which I totally understand.
I’d love to know if you do set up a Facebook group or something on Instagram or TH-cam. Just finished the audiobook and rewatching your video now!
@@organizingmotherhood ok! Yes still trying to figure out what might work best. Thanks so much for your support!
@@organizingmotherhood I'm interested in a FBK group as well!!
I also would love to see you start a Fbk grp❣️
Watching this in 2024 and on a Sunday so I'm feeling super motivated to start my 12-week year tomorrow~ Thank you for clearly explaining how to do it -- I'm from Camp "but I don't know what'll happen in a few weeks" LOL but your video really helped! Thank you!
Aww I’m so glad it was helpful!!!! Good luck!
My tip
Plan your weekly challenges after taking a deep look at prior obligations, upcoming events, distractions that will arise from things you do at that time every year. Don't plan an intensive weekly to do list for the week you know that you already have other huge life obligations on your plate for.
Yes! Love it!
Would love to see an update video after your 12 weeks with any updates and new insights you gain along the way. 😊
Great idea!!!
Amazing simplified support if you don't want to read the book. Well done Leesa!
Thank you so much!!!!
1. How are you a new TH-camr and already this great? ♡
2. I love the 12 week year!! such a great mind-blowing system that even if you don't hit your goals, you still manage to get more done with it than what you could have without it
Thank you sooooo much! I appreciate your feedback and support more than you know!
AGREED!! WHat camara and setting you are using?
@@SkScarlet ahhh! Ummm I have the new Nikon released for Content Creators... the Nikon Z30. As for settings, I watched a TH-cam video by Catherin Manning on how she set hers up and did mine the same way!
For sure. I wouldn’t have known she was a newer at this.
Such a great video! Especially love the concept of different goal types repetitive, incremental, recurrent. Genius!
So glad you enjoyed it! Breaking the goals down like that really helped me master this for sure and just made it more compressive to my brain!
@@leesalouise well said!
Great Video... I am doing this system/goal setting and process with Kate Kaden thru a book club she is starting in January... This is the first book we are doing. I have just finished reading the book and listened to the audio as well... I am now determining what three goals I want to most acheive over the next three months utilizing this system; I have a work goal, personal goal and a home project.... I'm so excited and your tips are excellent... THANK YOU so much for sharing. Kate may have been the inspiration to get me started but it is all the amazing U-Tubers like you and Kate that are making this process a reality for me... Happy 2024... May it be a productive year!!!!
Oh my gosh how incredible!!!!!! I truly wish you the best of luck with it all! It’s truly just a system that works if you’re willing to put in a little planning and thought process up front!
Sending you all the well wishes and good vibes to crush your 12-week year!
Thank you also for your comment! Truly means a lot!❤️
I just want to say thank you for this.
im 34 and have the organization skills of, in my opinion, a toddler, and im easily distracted and bored. When i learned of the 12WY, I immediately knew that this was the solution. The 2yrs that followed was just me trying to sort the plan out for execution, so i had many false starts. I must have watched at least 100 videos on how to better execute with notion which i found around the same time.
this video has helped me to finally sort out my thoughts so i plan thoroughly enough to see the end. The point about planning from the end was priceless for me. I had already planned Q2-2024. Week 1 is ending today but i watched this video today :). with a more focused eye im replanning and reduced my goals from 10 to 5. Im very hopeful.
You helped 1 person in 2024 Leesa. Thank you
This is incredible!!!!! I’m so glad I could help!!!! Wishing you the best on this Q2 12-Week Year. 🩷
this is the best 12 year plan video ive seen. you are clear, you provide actionable items, basically you explain what you need to do to start now. Congrats!
Wow, thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful!
Reviewing 4/20/24! Anyone else? Love you Leeza! Praying for you and baby‼️❤️✝️🙏🏻
Love that this video keeps on helping!🥰🥳🩷
Just listened to the Audiobook and came across your channel. I hope you achieve your TH-cam goal because I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more about planning and organizing. This was a clear breakdown of the book. Thank you.
Aww thank you! I tried to bring in some tips that aren’t just directly from the book but are also related! I appreciate your response so much!

Aww love it! So happy I can help!
Thanks Leesa, you made everything so clear and I love the format of your template. I'm going to start this 12 week plan, the book is arriving today so I'm ready to get started!😀
Yayyy! Can’t wait for you to get started and hear what you think! I promise it’s a little more intense as you’re planning but once you have that plan complete, it feels incredible to be clear on what you’re doing for the next 12 weeks!🥳🙌🏼
Wish I had found this earlier but it's never too late to start! Love the break down. I've saved the video for reference. The approach is clear and I love that the emotional reality of the journey is also part of it. Great job 👍
Thank you so much for that feedback! I truly appreciate it! And yes, like you said it’s never too late! I’ll be starting my next 12-week year on Jan 9th!
Thank you so much for creating this inspiring video. I'm so exited & motivated to try this for myself started next week. Hopefully I can be a better person with better habits & better achievements 💪
I swear this system definitely has helped me become less stressed and overwhelmed, and therefore a better person! I'm sending you all the love as you embark on this journey!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Made me feel inspired to set my own 12 week goal
Yayyy! I love that! You're going to crush it!
Your Google doc was exactly what I needed, for some reason I couldn’t get past the goal setting stage but once I had to write down the actions I got stuck. But the brain dump and visualizing at week 12 was brilliant- thank you!!!
Yay! I love that!!!
I havent heard of this book, but def will be picking it up! This was exactly what I needed before 4th quarter. Just subscribed :)
Ahh so glad it was helpful! Good luck on an amazing quarter 4!
Good for you! So excited to se your journey!!
Thank you so much!!
I actually just saw your video today for the first time and although we are at the end of quarter 3 (well for me) watching this video has given me so much peace to actually write out my 4th quarter goals for this year and accomplish them. First time watching and new subscriber.
Yayyy! Thank you so much for being here! Good luck on quarter 4!
Great video, i'm attempting to plan out my first 12 week year plan. This video was perfectly timed. Goodluck with your new channel xxx
Thank you so much!!!! I hope you’ll check back in once you get it made!
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Oh my gosh thanks for this video! I read the 12 Week Year a couple years ago but have fallen out of it; I’m so excited to get back too it!! Thank you for this inspiration!! 😍😍
Aww love that! So glad the video was helpful!
I love the 12 week year! Great video, Leesa!
Thank you!
love this!!
This is the first time Ive heard of this book / 12 week plan. I already had a loose 12 week health plan - am in week 4 of it. I’ve just followed your video and written it out / fleshed it out. Thank you. Now to read the book 📚
You’ve got this!
I found this video helpful and inspiring! Thank you!☀️
Aww I’m so glad!!!
Omg, I am already so motivated to work on all 3 of the goals I've set, and I've only followed the steps up through the visualization step. (I watched the whole video first to see if it was something relevant to me first, and now I'm watching it again to follow along doing the steps the way you describe them.)
Yasss! What a win! You've got this!
I've been using a 12-week plan for a while now and find it is the perfect timeframe to get something done. Because, like you, I tend to wait until the last minute before I work on achieving my goal. I love your take on this and really like the reverse-engineering process you spoke about, which is definitely something I could improve on.
Aww I’m so glad you got some nuggets from this even though you’ve already been utilizing the 12-week year plan! Reverse-engineering helps me take the fear and overwhelm away and see how doable things actually are!🥳
Thank you. I keep over complicating this process. This was the best breakdown I have heard for the way my brain thinks and processes. ❤
Ahhh that makes me so happy! Sending you all the luck & good vibes as you take on this journey!🎉
This was so helpful! I am locked in a boardroom surround with whiteboards and I’m actually getting it done! I am so excited to see more of your content. 🎉
Omg how fun! You’ve got this!
This video helped me so much! I've listened to the audiobook, found templates --but for some reason I've been struggling to visualize the actual list. When you mentioned looking at week 11 and then essentially working backwards, I had an "AHA moment". TYSM!!!
Yes, that is the best way it works for me! So glad it has helped you too!
New subscriber!! You’re excellent!! 🙌❤️
You rock beloved! You sound like me I have been asked and told to create a channel or podcast write a book by many and I still haven’t yet! Self sabotage has a lot to do with it and medical health issues anyways! Love you channel keep them coming
Yes self-sabotage is real!😅 I finally just got started and it’s felt great to do that!
Leesa, this is wonderful content...thank you!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this 😊 clear and simple
Thank you!!!
This video was amazing! I really ejoyed how you explained everything, you are clear in your words and even as a non native speaker I understood everything very well. Definitely subscribed!
That's an incredible compliment! Thank you so much!
Thank you! This video was very helpful.
Thank you so much!
Looks like a good read and thank you for your logical recap of how to do this! It definitely is backwards to visualize backwards, but I'm sure it gets better results. Starting at week one is daunting. 😉
Yes, starting at week 1 can be soooo overwhelming with how far you have to go. So by starting at the end, you’re able to break it down and truly visualize what it’ll take to get there. Takes a lot of the fear away.
Love it! Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
Great content - very inspiring and "doable". Working on my goals now.
Yayyy! Good luck!
😂😂 funny how this videos been on my face for a while and never took time to actually watch it. Now that I’ve finally watched it, realized it’s just what I’ve beeen missing. This is just to say you’re God sent Leesa, thank you ❤
Omgggg I love that so much!
Great video, thanks! And the bonus tip with finding someone to be accountable to is worth it's weight in gold. That's why mastermind groups are so valuable, as well, so it makes sense to use that kind of system to reach personal goals, as well. Good tip!
Yes accountability truly makes such a difference for me with just about anything I do!
Number 667 here 🙌 I’ve heard of this book and I’m in planning mode. I need something like this to help me manage my goals & life🙌 Excited to see more from you!
Yes this is a great book to help with that!
I am a first time viewer and new subscriber. Very interesting and also going to go back on some of your other videos.
Awesome!
I needed this! Would love to see more of this type of content from you ❤️ subscribed
Yayyy! Thank you so much! And I’m always here for suggestions, but just to make sure I’m understanding, by more content like this, do you mean PD book content or planning content? Or what? 🥰 I greatly appreciate any feedback!
Loved this! Going to do it! Also I think I was your 1000th subscriber! 🎉
How cool!!!!!! Thank you!!!
Video was perfectly executed. Thank you.
Thank you! So glad it was helpful!!!
Algorithm brought me here! When you pop off I just want to note that I was sub 61! Keep up the good work!
Haha I love that!!! I'm so thankful you are here!
Not sure how TH-cam put you in my Homepage, its true it can read your mind. I had read this book over a year ago, loved the idea, just couldn't wrap my head around it. Then yesterday I was thinking I need to find my book and read that system again. Then today, here you are. Loved how you explained it, and your tips makes it seem possible. I did subscribe, think you did a fabulous job, can't wait to see more of your content. Have a nice day!
Ahh love that I could be helpful!
Thank you and I have just started this and you have really help me! from UK
I’m so glad it’s helpful! And hello to you in the UK!😍
This was amazing!
Thank you!!!!
Great video! Keep going! ❤😀
Thank you!!!
Thank you for your video, you are an inspiration to me, Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for a very concise and direct video NO FLUFF! ❤
You’re so welcome!
I think your video was great!!! Please do more. Thank you!!
Aww thank you! Any requests for future videos?
Thank you for this video! It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear as I embark on implementing a 12 week plan starting today! I would love to join an accountability group. I have no one in my circle who is like-minded in this regard.
I am working on a way we can create this accountability group and space! Thank you for the support in this!
I recently found out about this and honestly it just makes sense to me, 12 months is too far off and nebulous, but 12 weeks seems much closer and much more likely to inspire me to action!
I've already set a 12 week goal and have even planned out a weekly system for ramping up over time to get that goal done. And I've even tried to think up what challenges lay ahead and how to solve those issues. Even if I don't fully succeed, I still think this is gonna help me get closer to my goal than I would have otherwise!
Omg I love this so much! Everything you said is truly why I love the 12-week year planning system! It has helped me take action sooner with less procrastination. Can’t wait to see how this goes for you!
Amazing, thank youuuuuu!
You’re so welcome!
I just did the first step thanks to you! ❤
Yayyyy!
This was the best 12 week plan video I ever watched. Thank you for making the actions I need to take so much clearer. You are a star 🌟! I wish you great success on your TH-cam journey.
Truly the best compliment!
Thank you so much for this feedback! I wish you the best of luck on your 12-week year journey!
@@leesalouise , thank you so much Leesa.
Your video is extremely helpful!! TY!!
Thank you so much!
This is gold!! Now all I have to do is take ACTION
You can do it!!!!
Leesa, thanks for helpful videos
You’re so welcome!
Funny that this video popped up on my TH-cam, lol. I've been listening to The 12 Week Year this week, almost done with it and it definitely resonates with me. I was already making a 90-day plan (which is 12 weeks plus 6 extra days) and stumbling on the book is just confirmation. I'm going to lay out my goals/plan and start executing it. 😊 Love the information you shared. Also would be interested whenever you figure out the community thing. I'm becoming a strong believer in linking up with people who are following the same ideas, have the same mindset. It would be beneficial to everybody.
Bless. 🙏
I’m so glad you found this and it was helpful! And yes, still unsure where to build that community but I’ll definitely share here when/if it becomes a thing. Thank you for your feedback and comment!
Great video!🎉
Thank you! 😁
🎉Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Thanks for your support!💕
Love the reverse plan idea!
Thanks! It’s been a game changer for me!
Great content. I've ordered the book and you have a new subscriber. Best of luck and more power to you and the channel...💚
Thank you so much!!!!
Leesa, what an exciting video! You really look like a pro, and I love how your spirit shines through! Your question about "what will be different this time?" really hit home for me. I've got "this million-dollar idea" which I've been daydreaming over FOR YEARS now! I think I might be able to launch version one-point-oh in just 12 weeks, thanks to your encouragement! 😊
Ahhhh that is soooo exciting!
Keep me posted! Can’t wait to watch you go for it!!!
Very informative. Thank you! I am going to try this- that is my statement that you suggested.
Aww you’ve got this!
Hi from New Zealand. Just subbed. I have just finished setting up my first 3 months of my first bullet journal when your video shows up. I had a goal setting diary last year but it was bulky and had stuff I didn’t use in it. Good experience though. Looking forward to watching your other videos 😊
Aww thank you so much!
Thank you so so so much.❤
Thank you!
Great Video, Just found you, thanks for being motivating!
Aww thank YOU!
Wonderful video and great tips.
Thank you!!!
Wow, really good information and the kick I need to get me moving on my goals. Like you were I procrastinate way too much, dream of my life in this idilic world but never take the action steps to move on. Watching this has proved to me that anything I want to achieve is reachable and will be with some thought and planning. One of my goals will be to set up as a Life Coach and this system, process will go hand in hand not just for me but future clients. I will keep watching and when I have my plan ready after my Life Coaching course is completed maybe you might help guide me along the journey as a mentor. Well done for your channel, it's hard work being a creative content worker and I want to wish you all the success for your channel and you life. Hopefully we can speak soon.
Thank you for your support and kind words! Sending you all the support as you embark on your journey!
This is very helpful. I read the entire book the end of September. I then wrote out an entire week by week plan. Then week 1 I did noting so I adjusted the next few weeks... then week 2 I did noting... and this continued. I didn't pick it up until the last week of November when none of the goals could be met. I made a spreadsheet in Google sheets for my scorecard and gave myself a 0% for the first 2 months. At least it shows exponential growth from week one to the current weeks even if I can not meet the end goals and I'll be that much closer for the next 12 weeks.
Yessss exactly! It’s ok to not accomplish! But taking the time to write out that plan and getting it done when you’re ready is so important! Love that you were real with yourself and are now able to make those necessary moves forward and absolutely you can push them into your next 12-week year! I’ll be doing that with one of my goals as well and I don’t feel badly about it but instead proud of myself for at least trying!
Thank you !
You're welcome!
Hello! So lovely to come across your channel. I find goal setting so intimidating, but I’m floundering and know that this is something I need to do and master to remain consistent with my productivity (and mental health)! Thank you so much for this video and I’m looking forward to more tips and nuggets of wisdom as I navigate through this new journey.
Goal setting can absolutely be scary, however, I often believe it’s because we often only set really big goals instead of setting small ones as well.
Each month I create a vision board and set a mixture of bigger goals and smaller/more habit forming goals and I feel that those smaller goals are a huge part of building the confidence in myself that it takes to reach the big goals!
I appreciate your feedback and hope I can continue encouraging you to go for it!
@@leesalouise Thank you for your response and encouragement. You’re right! Overlooking the smaller goals ( building blocks) makes one loose focus. Aiming for the big goals is so intimidating! I’m looking forwarding to setting realistic goals and learning more great tips from you! Great channel and I wish you all the best 😃
@@anacosta5635 You are too kind! Thank you so very much!!!
Thank you
Loved this!!! Can you do more videos like this plz? Maybe how to plan your week/day? ☺️
Love that idea!!! I will absolutely get to working on that!
@@leesalouise Following Just found your channel today after starting the book/audio earlier this week… Great tips!
Following
Very helpful ❤️
Thank you!
I set a 3 year goal. 33 months ago. 😳 Guess who’s finally starting to work on it? 🤣🤣 currently binging all of these videos hoping I can get it done. 😂
Awww well I def recommend breaking it down into smaller, less intimidating chunks. That was the game changer for me. I break my 12-week year down even further into monthly goals/task, then weekly, and then even daily! But having the 12-week year gives me guidance on what I’m doing more big picture.
You’ve got this!!!
New subscriber here!
I was searching for videos on productivity and found you.
Looking forward to seeing if this is a way for me to go.
Omg how fun! I'm so glad my video was potentially helpful! My biggest tip is to start small and build! Let me know how it goes!
Some goals mesh together such as using your TH-cam channel to help 3-5 people. As for "building a house", I know it took 2 months to rebuild my parents' house after a fire. It also took about 4 months to double the size of our house (minus the kitchen). That timeline took the paperwork time to get permits, loans, etc.
And finally working backwards is sometimes necessary for certain goals. For instance, I was given the entire yearbook collection for my husband's high school to scan for the website we were building. My husband asked how long this would take; I said, "We'll figure out the timeline." I started with the last day of summer vacation and worked backwards with 2 yearbooks per day until I got to the beginning. That made it so much easier. What a summer though! I could never have scanned 80 yearbooks without my family's support and this plan.
Yes! Wow!
This testimony is such an encouragement. One of my dreams is to completely renovate and remodel my Grandmother's house, including yard work, before she passes. I've had this vision several years, and haven't acted in it. My uncle recently passed, and even with the devastation, it was a reality check. We can't wait around to do things, we must be intentional and act now. I've always envisioned us surprising her on her birthday and starting the renovation (her birthday is in March ) and us throwing a celebratory end of the summer BBQ in August ir September once all the renovations are complete. I now know this is very possible happening.
I love this plan too! Really enjoyed this video! You did great explaining and sharing great tips. Yes it was helpful and understandable. Thanks Leesa. I might want to partner with you on this plan for the motivation. Thanks for offering!
Absolutely! Trying to figure out a way we can come together as a community since there’s been some interest! Glad it was helpful!💕
Thanks for your tips, I will try to work on this 12 week plan... I was listening, I'm quite like you... I need the last minute panic monster in order to start with sth and then comes the frustration as I cannot make it to the goal because of lack of time... 🤷🏻♀️, the never ending story... Thanks again. I'll try to apply this and see how it goes
Yesss it’s so tough! That cycle is hard to break and I definitely still struggle with it often! But cheering you on!
Hello and so glad to find you. I am a new subscriber, great video and great ideas.
Welcome! So glad you’re here! Thank you so much for the support!
Just found your channel and I love it! I’m a new TH-camR as well and these tips will work great in my tool box.
Aww that's amazing! Good luck on your TH-cam journey!
