As millions of Kiwi’s reset in January, nearly half of adults commit to health, fitness or personal growth goals – yet only around 8–9% maintain them long term*. While motivation sparks action, research consistently shows that structure, clarity and accountability are what sustain change.
LSKD is stepping in to change the way Kiwis approach their New Year goals with their 1% Better Goals Planner: A Smarter Way to Build Progress.
Launched this month, LSKD’s 1% Better Goals Planner reframes goal-setting away from all-or-nothing resolutions and towards sustainable, self-paced progress.
Built on LSKD’s internal culture of vision-led growth, the framework focuses on three simple principles:
- Clarify your vision – a written picture of the life you want to live
- Set intentional goals – written in first person, present tense, with clear timelines
- Track progress – celebrating small wins that compound over time
“Real progress starts with a clear vision of who you want to become and the small, consistent steps you take to get there,” said LSKD CEO and Founder Jason Daniel. “Most people don’t fail because they lack motivation – they fail because they don’t have a clear system. 1% Better gives people a framework that feels achievable. You don’t need to change your whole life overnight. You just need to show up, take one small step, and trust that those steps add up.”
By committing to getting just 1% better each day, LSKD’s community focuses on building habits that last – not short bursts of motivation that fade by February.
The custom 1% Better Goals Planner, now live on LSKD’s website, has already been adopted by thousands across Australia and New Zealand, with momentum building across Instagram and TikTok.
Helping to power the campaign is the highly anticipated return of LSKD’s viral Accelerate Shorts, available in both mid-rise and high-rise fits. Known for their comfort, performance design and flattering fit, they’ve become a favourite for runners, globally.
With fitness and personal growth dominating early 2026 trends – and behaviour change driven by structure rather than motivation – LSKD’s combination of mindset tools and performance gear arrives at the perfect moment.
