How I Set Quarterly Goals That Actually Stick | January 2026 Planner Setup

January goal setting is officially underway, and today I’m walking you through how I break my annual goals into clear quarterly focus and realistic monthly action steps inside my MäksēLife Companion notebooks.
In this Plan With Me, I’m setting up my Quarter 1 goals using my Momentum Made Simple framework so that my plans actually fit real life. We’ll look at quarterly overviews, monthly goals across every life category, and how I keep momentum going without chasing perfection.
If you’ve ever felt excited about goals in January only to feel overwhelmed by February, this video is for you. This process is all about progress, consistency, and baby steps that stick.
