Q4 Reset – Grounded & Focused

Update: 2025-10-09

Description

Keith and Laura review what gave energy, note what drained it, and remind each other to center themselves. They may have dropped the ball in some ways, but pausing to reflect allows them to shift back to prioritizing their main goals.

Laura’s 2025 theme was “grounded,” prioritizing connection and stability during a year of distance, centering family, and reframing success as showing up where it matters most. Coupled with restorative habits that keep stress manageable and presence high, Laura highlights deliberate, direct communication, and clarity over assumptions to stay aligned with her goals.

Keith’s aim is “focused action,” sustained through a Sunday ritual of reviewing goals and translating them into concrete steps that ship during the week. He is doubling down on sleep, movement, and journaling to stabilize energy and keep execution consistent, emphasizing small wins that build toward larger aims in the next 90 days.

While navigating new rhythms and their teens gaining autonomy, the couple looks to design a schedule that supports their goals. Keith is pairing weekly reflection with practical actions across health, work, relationships, and play. Laura is removing unproductive stress and implementing the delay–delegate–delete filter to protect deep work from meeting creep.

Laura and Keith see the next three months as chance to get a head-start on 2026. The final quarter isn’t a holding pattern—leverage it for momentum to compound progress before January arrives.

Takeaways

- Run a weekly energy audit—create more of what energizes, minimize drains, and reframe stress outside of control.
- Protect deep work with delay–delegate–delete, then time-block execution to ensure focus translates into outcomes.
- Lead with health: consistent sleep, movement, and journaling multiply returns across work and relationships in Q4.
