The start of a new year holds so much possibility. Fresh notebooks. Blank pages. A deep breath and a reset. Whether you're someone who sets big goals or simply wants to feel more grounded in your everyday rhythm, the tools you choose can help shape the way the year unfolds.
At Ramona & Ruth, we believe planning should feel peaceful — not overwhelming. That’s why our paper goods are designed to bring structure and softness to your days. If you're ready to begin 2026 with intention, here’s how to get started.
1. Reflect Before You Begin
Before diving into goals and to-do lists, take a moment to reflect on the year behind you.
What felt good? What felt heavy? What do you want more of in the coming months?
Grab your journal or notepad and jot down a few thoughts. This quiet check-in creates a meaningful foundation for your year ahead.

2. Map Out Your Year in Quarters
One of the simplest ways to prevent overwhelm? Break the year into four seasons.
The Quarterly Overview Planner is designed to help you focus three months at a time, with space for:
-
Goal setting and habit tracking
-
Monthly and weekly planning
-
Gentle reflection and intention
Instead of trying to plan everything at once, it helps you anchor into the season you're in.
✨ Want a fresh planner delivered every three months? The Quarterly Planner Club was created just for that — with seasonal perks and exclusive cover colors for members.
3. Start Each Day with Intention
Big plans are only as useful as your daily follow-through — and that’s where the Daily Overview Planner comes in.
Whether you’re a time-blocker, a list-maker, or just someone who loves writing things down, this daily layout helps you:
-
Set your top priorities
-
Map out your schedule
-
Stay grounded with space for reflection
4. Create a Planning Ritual You Look Forward To
If planning feels like a chore, it won’t last. But if it feels calming and brings you peace, it becomes a ritual.
Light a candle. Pour a warm drink. Use a pen that glides and a notepad you love. Add a pop of washi tape. Surround yourself with tools that make the process feel good.
That’s the heart of intentional planning — finding beauty in the process itself.
5. Be Flexible with Your Rhythm
Life rarely unfolds exactly how we plan it. Let your tools support you, not pressure you. Planning is less about perfection and more about presence. Give yourself permission to adjust, pivot, and restart.
