A planner that centers your capacity over your production.

A softer place to land.

A gauge for your physical energy.

Space to hold what’s in your heart.

An honest look at how much you can genuinely hold right now.

 

This is the planner I’ve always needed. When we say game changer, it’s because this one refuses to play the performance game.

The Rhythms planner prioritizes you…the person who is living the life you’re managing. In a world that doesn’t ask how you’re handling everything that’s thrown your way, we do. We won’t ask you to override your needs or nervous system in pursuit of a perfectly executed day. Instead, we are guiding you through your natural patterns so you know what you truly have capacity for. This is the beginning of a new relationship with yourself inside of the life you’re living. In Rhythms, our goal is a better relationship with yourself and your needs, so your life can feel like yours again.  

Maybe you have days you feel on top of the world and others you can’t muster the momentum to get out from under the covers. The forced performance loop and resulting burnout can teach us that pattern. 

Your planner shouldn’t be a place where you feel like you’re performing. Rhythms is the planner that takes your hand and says “I see you. How are you really doing?”

BTW: If you haven’t heard, MäksēLife has had a major makeover since you last saw us. Sierra shares the whole story in her letter, A New Generation of Goal Setting.

A lot of people look for a planner or a place where they can “get it together.”
Where am I going?
What do I need to do?
How am I finally going to be able to fill in that whole habit tracker?

And when they don’t have capacity to meet the demands of those expectations both internal and external, it can feel a lot like failure.

Rhythms is here to challenge that.

She wants to know who you are and how you’re feeling today. It’s ready to hold every single part of you no matter how much you’ve done or how many habits you’ve checked off. It’s time to honor your capacity…not just what you're capable of. And that’s an important distinction in a world that prioritizes personal output over quality of life.

Rhythms offers you a place to organize your life based on what’s real instead of the agenda your external demands are pushing. The human that is doing the living is the central focus in this planner. For burnout, for recovery, for when you desperately want to find your spark again, this is your soft place to land when it all feels like too much.

Now you’ve got a planner that allows you to be in a season where you’re not chasing goals, you’re reconnecting with yourself. You know you want a change, but aren’t sure what it is yet? You feel distant from your dreams and desires? You’re exhausted, overwhelmed or burned out and need a gentle way to get back on your feet? We help you rebuild the practice of listening to your natural rhythms by asking:

How are you? What do you need?
Let’s check in with how much you truly have to give to the life you’re living. 

The MäksēLife foundation, with a new lens 

Your life moves in seasons. Your weeks move in rhythms. This planner helps you cooperate with both. It has space for conversation with your life and the flexibility to adjust as your life changes.

What's inside the Rhythms 

Four Rhythms to give a name to what the week, and day presents so you can safely learn to trust how you operate and what you need:

• Rest
• Maintain
• Create
• Build

Most of us have been taught to treat every day like a Build day: to push, produce, and keep up regardless of what we actually have to give. And then we wonder why we’re so damn tired.

Rhythms helps you work with the natural shifts in your energy instead of treating them like something to overcome (or like a failure!) The more you practice honoring your actual capacity, the less power that old pressure to perform has over you.

You don’t need the same capacity every day to keep moving forward.

Rest nudges you to pay attention to what restores you.
Maintain keeps the machinery of life running.
Create opens up space for experimenting or making something.
Build recognizes the days when there’s something asking for movement

 

Four Seasons zoom out to see the larger context to keep in mind.

Recovery asks for stillness and quiet.
Integration is putting something you’ve learned into motion.
Expansion harnesses momentum to make progress.
Transition encourages you to notice and get curious.

 

“How to Know What You Need”

Many of us have gotten really good at noticing what’s needed of us, and much less practiced at noticing what we need.

These pages give you space to pay attention to the signals showing up in your days and begin connecting them to what you might need in response. Because “What do you need?” can be a surprisingly hard question to answer honestly.

And if we don’t know what we need, it becomes pretty damn hard to make sure those needs are met.

The goal here isn’t to suddenly have all the answers. It’s to gently get better at noticing.

Open “Focus” Areas

Here’s where you’ll see a significant shift from our Classic planner to Rhythms. You have eight spaces, but we’re not telling you what to call them. 

It might be…

• a rest menu
• areas of gratitude
• people on your mind
• ways to take care of yourself
• anything that feels relevant now
• and… maybe your own ‘Areas of Life’ customized to what you want to focus on

Best of all? Next month can be completely different. You’re free to follow your intuition and what you most need. We’ll just pencil in a bit of structure for you.

Guided weekly check-in

This is where we want structure: to hold you where you’re likely not being held in your day-to-day life.

Here you’ll find a touchpoint to check how you’re feeling in mind, body, heart, and capacity before you make any decisions about what comes next. 

Compact Weekly Spread + Rhythm/Energy Tracker

The Rhythms layout is designed to give you space for what you need, not tell you what to do with it.

Each dated week is compact, monochrome, and intentionally open, with room to plan, journal, memory keep, make lists, or use it in whatever way your life asks of you. You’ll also find a daily Rest / Maintain / Create / Build rhythm check and a simple energy check, so you can start noticing not just what you did, but what you authentically had to give.

Your tired days aren’t failures. They’re information.

And there’s no streak to protect here. Miss a day. Skip a week. Break your routine. We dare you.

Leave your planner somewhere in March and find your way back to it in June. It won’t judge you, guilt you, or ask where you’ve been. There is no way to “break” Rhythms by living your actual life.

Oh, and P.S. There’s no habit tracker in Rhythms (we figured you might need a break from keeping score.)

 

Monthly + Seasonal check-ins

Rhythms holds you through your days, weeks, months, and seasons. You’ll start to see patterns build over time to help you learn how to better support yourself in whatever season you might find yourself. There’s nothing to fall behind on.

Wanna see something super pretty?

Honoring your capacity is baked into every part of Rhythms, including how it looks.

We kept the pages minimalist and monochrome, so you decide how much color they hold. Cream backgrounds add gentle structure, while smaller, more suggestive icons leave more room for you.

And because we’re proud graphic design nerds: the new fonts. Gorgeous.

The bee 🐝 we all fell in love with on last year’s Flourish cover is back, too–this time as a reminder of life’s seasons, paired with a Rhythms-worthy quote on a cream keepsake bag.

 

Pick any cover you want

This year, your planner arrives in a frosted cover (you can use as a dashboard or divider!), and your interchangeable cover is packaged separately. That means you can choose any cover in our collection, including six new 2027 designs.

Every cover is reversible as well, so you get two looks in one. Every 2027 cover fits both the Classic and Rhythms planners (and our best-selling spiral notebooks too!). Putting it on is easy, and we'll included a quick how-to video with your order.

How Rhythms Relates to Classic

So, there’s more than one planner this year?

Yep. Because there’s more than one way to move through a year.

Our Classic planner has always been organized around the areas of your life, a reminder that you’re a whole darn person, not any single role or responsibility you carry.

Rhythms puts your energy and capacity at the forefront. Instead of deciding what you should be able to do, you start with where you actually are. Let’s not ask ourselves for 150% when the battery is already in the red.

And please hear us: you can choose just. one. planner. It is enough.

There’s no meaning to make about choosing Classic or Rhythms. Your season doesn’t have a ranking. Just options. And if you can clearly see a place for both? That works, too. They offer two distinctly different experiences:

Classic asks: What are you building?
It walks alongside you as you build and manage the life you’re creating.

Rhythms asks: What can you hold?
It guides you in honoring the person who is living the life you’re planning. 

You may be in your Rhythms era if…

• you want to plan from your actual energy and capacity
• you want structure, but let’s pencil it in
• you don’t want to decide in January what has to matter all year
• you value reflection and check-ins as much as planning
• you want to stay connected to your dreams without manufacturing urgency around them
• the concept of “goals” or building right now feels like a big ask
