2027 Companion Notebooks

Meet the 2027 Companion Notebooks

“I already have a planner I love.”

“I want the MäksēLife system without changing planners.”

“I manage my life digitally, but want to set goals.”

We gotchu.

Our Companion Notebooks provide the MäksēLife Classic planning, reflection + focus system without the weekly scheduling pages so you can use the planning process you prefer and add on the reflection + focus that Mäksē provides. 

Ready to see what’s changed? Check out our full Companion Notebooks Walk-through in the video below, or keep reading for the cliff-notes version.

Why Companion Notebooks?

What you use to plan your days, and what you use for setting goals don’t have to live in the same space.

Our Companion Notebooks are for someone who:

• already has a planner/calendar whether physical or digital they like
• wants to use Mäksē’s deeper panning, reflection + focus process
• wants flexibility rather than switching their entire system

If you have something that’s working, we wouldn’t want you to change that!

What’s new for 2027?

At its core, the format of the Companion Notebooks hasn’t changed. BUT the MäksēLife process inside it has.

Each notebook holds three months of undated monthly calendars, monthly and weekly focus pages, reflection space, and quarterly Compass check-in’s.

The MäksēLife foundation starts with looking to your inner life to notice what’s true right now. With that insight, you choose your focus, take actions towards it this week, and reflect before doing it again for the next week.

 

Updated MäksēLife language

If you’ve already read about the changes that have happened in our Classic planners, this same perspective carries over to the Companion Notebooks so the newly reimagined MäksēLife experience can also come in the flexible and more portable Companion Notebooks format.

New names, same heart.

• Compass Assessment → The Compass
• Annual Goals → My Year Ahead
• Monthly Goals → Monthly Focus
• Weekly Actions → Weekly Focus
• educational instructions → experiential prompts + reflection

How it works

One “Getting Started” notebook + four quarterly Companion notebooks.

Each Companion Notebook includes three months of the Classic MäksēLife planning + reflection system.

All four Companion Notebooks together provide 12 undated months in total.

The separate “Getting Started” notebook helps you set your larger direction for the year. Then, within each quarterly notebook, choose your monthly focus to decide what deserves your attention. Check in weekly to determine what you want to give your energy this week. Then, reflect on the past month and capture the things you want to remember. At the end of the quarter, the process nudges you to keep that conversation going to reassess and adjust.

Hold up. Wow! These are CUTE!

Our Companion Notebooks got a major glow up. Each new quarter is giving ‘bold’, ‘fun’, ‘personality for miles’ whether in navy, coral, green, or bright blue. 

The MäksēLife color wheel is there to remind us that we’re whole human beings behind the life that we are planning for. The inside cover has a neutral stripe and includes an interior folder at the back and integrated ribbon bookmark. 

The pages are also perforated, so you can take them out and put them into your planner, or keep them by your desk or an area where you’ll see them often. Max flexibility is the goal with these cuties.

What Companion Notebooks don’t include

Companion Notebooks give you the Mäksē process without the seven-day scheduling/planning layouts that are included in the Classic planner.

Products that the Companion Notebooks work well with:

• the Mäksē Rhythms planner
• Dated Monthly Sticker Kit
• Living a Purposeful Life Desk Easel
• A5 Dot-Grid Notebooks
• Daily Sticky Notepad
• Weekly Sticky Notepad

Is Companion for me?

• you want Mäksē’s reflection/focus process without another weekly planner
• you like carrying a smaller quarterly notebook rather than a full-year planner
• you want something undated that can begin whenever you’re ready
