If you are on my email list, you received an email from me on Sunday with a whole collection of October seasonal freebies to help you get organized and motivated for this spooky time of year!
The collection includes 2 NEW designs, a Spooky Dashboard and my new 1/2 Page Monthly Dashboard with 31 Things To Do in October task list.
You’ll also get access to 2 complete sets of October tech wallpapers that you can use to get your smartphone, tablet and computer dressed up for some added seasonal inspiration.
You know what that means? I have a new free printable insert to share with you!
This months freebie is not just an insert, but a productivity strategy I like to use as often as I can to ensure I am completely on top of my task management.
It’s the Power Hour!
How to Perform a Power Hour
A Power Hour is a dedicated block of time where we intentionally work on completing tasks that we have been putting off. Maybe these are tasks that have fallen through the cracks of our weekly schedule, they could be tasks that we end up deferring day over day because of higher priorities, or they’re tasks that for one reason or another we have been avoiding.
Whatever the reason, if these tasks need to get done, we have to focus and knock them out. The Power Hour concept is one that can encourage us to get the work done by setting a block of time that makes it easier to get started.
Step One: Set a block of time for your Power Hour where you can work uninterrupted.
Step Two: Compile a list of tasks to work on during the time block.
Step Three: Set a timer and get to work! Often setting a timer ignites a sense of focus and intention that we don’t normally have otherwise.
Feel free to perform this Power Hour strategy as often as necessary to stay focused and productive!
And don’t forget to download the FREE Power Hour Insert to help you keep this entire process organized for you!
And of course, if there is anything you need from me, any questions you have for dealing with your productivity or life during this challenging time, please let me know how I can support you and bring you the solutions or resources to make things a little easier for you!

Who’s ready for another FREE planner printable?!? This month I decided to do something a little different with my planner freebie. I know I normally make a task list for the month with fun inspirational and seasonal to dos, but this month I have decided to shake things up and design a monthly dashboard. Although I know my task lists are fun, they have been getting a bit redundant and in an effort to make these printables as useful as possible for my entire community, I decided to change up the design.
Let me walk you through what this insert is all about! I really find it helpful to have a dashboard or one place where I can keep track of important monthly items. Whether those items are important dates I need to remember like birthdays and anniversaries, or my monthly goals or reading list, I know this dashboard will help you get that little extra edge of productivity that we all desperately need! As usual, these inserts are available in both A5 and personal size.
If you do download these free inserts, please let me know about it by taking a picture and tagging me on Instagram with the hashtag #StrangeandCharmed so I can see how you are making use of these inserts in your own planners. I love seeing your pictures, and I can’t wait to like them and interact with you on IG! Make sure you’re following me @MissTrenchcoat!!
Sometimes, I legitimately wish that I could have a time turner because the days really do pass too quickly! Well, it’s nearly May and it’s time to say a warm hello to one of the most welcoming months of the year. The first quarter of the year is over and done and we are well into the second. I know for the past few months I have been creating these free printables with a bit of a theme to them, but this month I decided to go back to basics and make a good old fashioned To Do List for the items I want to accomplish in May. It is just so important to make the most of each and everyday, and I think this is seriously a lesson I am learning on an ongoing basis. So, I hope you’ll join me in the month of May by getting your free printable and checking off the tasks along with me so we can celebrate the unofficial start of summer together!
If you do download these free inserts, please let me know about it by taking a picture and tagging me on Instagram with the hashtag #StrangeandCharmed so I can see how you are making use of these inserts in your own planners.

The time has come once again for me to announce my Free Printable for March and this month I have decided to something a little different! First of all, this month I have created my monthly free printable in both personal and A5 size! I know this has been a request from many of you, so when you download the insert, you will actually have access to two inserts, one for each size! So, the second thing that is a little different this month is that I have created a 31 step process for creating, following and executing your goals, so you can Make Your Own Luck from now on! Don’t wait around for your life to change and your big dreams to just magically happen, you need to do the work yourself if you want it done! Luck is something you control when you work hard and make a game plan!

February is right around the corner, and so it is of course time for another Free Filofax Printable themed with a monthly checklist and made especially for you! So many of you have been reaching out to me to ask me about this month’s printable and it was so difficult for me to keep the details under wraps! I get so excited about each new insert I make, and I on one hand I want to scream it from the rooftops and see what you guys think, but then on the other hand I want to keep it secret until the very special reveal day! As you can tell from the title of this post, the free insert is themed for Valentine’s Day with a checklist of 28 Ways to Love Yourself. So this isn’t your traditional Valentine’s Day, lovey-dovey romance sort of list, this is all about you focusing on the number one person in your life: YOU! Yes, that is right, I said you! You are such an important person and without you, your whole world would go upside down! So, for February I thought it would be rather appropriate for this insert to focus on ways that you can show yourself love and focus on important self-care items!
To download your FREE copy of my 28 Ways to Love Yourself Personal Sized Filofax Insert, click here to head on over to my shop! As always, I do only have this insert available in personal sized dimensions, however, it is easy enough to scale the image up to fit into an A5! To print in personal size, make sure you are printing at 100% scale, and then increase or decrease the scale as necessary to fit larger or smaller planners!

I have been getting a ton of questions from you all lately asking me if I am going to do another Free Filofax Printable for the month of January, and the answer is OF COURSE! I have actually been incredibly excited for this printable for a while because it is totally New Year’s themed.
Since January is right around the corner, I thought this insert would be the perfect opportunity to give you guys the task of testing out a different resolution each day of the month! Whether you are trying to get healthy, manage stress, change your job or save some cash, this insert has you covered. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely someone who has a hard time sticking to a resolution, so consider this your opportunity to try before you buy! Accomplish one task per day and by the end of the month you should have a better idea of which resolutions you want to stick with and which may need to be saved for next year! So what are you waiting for? Hop on over to my shop and download your free copy of A Resolution a Day and get your year started off with a bang!

Hello Friends & Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It’s Wednesday and I am here in a special mid-week extra blog post to share with you all my latest free Filofax printable insert! As I have been doing in previous months, I created a monthly to do list filled with seasonal and holiday driven items called 31 Days of Merriment & Cheer! This personal sized insert is now available over on my Shop as an instant download! I wanted to make sure I got it up before the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving started, so that you had the time to print and decorate yours before December begins!
Now, after creating my first two monthly printables, I received some good feedback from some of you that you preferred for me to leave off the seasonal icons and images I was including in these printables because for some of you the images didn’t pertain (i.e. Turkeys and Cornucopias on my 30 Days of Thankfulness Printable, since those of you outside the U.S. don’t celebrate Thanksgiving). Since December is a time of multiple holidays and many seasonal events, I thought it would be best for me to leave this insert blank of any decorations, as you had suggested, leaving room for you to break out your own washi tapes and stickers and add whatever special icons and images help you to express your love of the season in your own way! Now, I don’t plan to leave extra decorations off all of my future printables, but I am going to make sure I give more thought to my global audience for these inserts from now on! Again, thank you all so much for your feedback, because it really does help me to create things that are more useful for you!
So, go ahead and jump on over to my Shop and get your free printable now! And while you are there, make sure to take a look around at my other printable inserts because I am constantly adding new designs and you may find something new that you haven’t seen before! Enjoy the printable and for all of you celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, I wish you a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
Well, surprise, surprise! I am writing to you mid-week in an unexpected extra blog post because I have created a fun little printable that I wanted to share with you all! I know many of my readers are Filofax and planner lovers, and we all love a good list! So, I have put together a list of 31 Things to Do in October and made it a convenient little free printable to celebrate one of my favorite months of the year! Now, I’m going to go into this a little more in my regularly schedule post tomorrow, but October, to me, means fall is really here and there are a plethora of activities that I enjoy taking part in throughout the month! Yes, a lot of my love for October comes from my love of Halloween, and yes, many of these activities are some of my favorite things to do to celebrate and get into the spirit of Halloween, but there is plenty else to do if Halloween doesn’t happen to be your favorite slice of cake!
To be completely honest, I am taking this 31 Things to Do in October list pretty seriously! In fact, it’s almost like a challenge to me to see if I can fit in all of these activities throughout the month! As an adult, currently without children, I find it hard to get myself into the spirit of a season because it’s not in my face everyday the way it once was when I was in school. So, for me, this is a way to activity participate in all of the fun that October has to offer! Now, I chose 31 Things to Do because there are 31 days in October, however, this isn’t necessarily about doing one thing per day, but you can certainly treat it that way if that is what you would find most exciting! Some things are super easy, some are a bit more involved, but everything is here to help you enjoy the season and add a bit of fun to your daily life!
Wrap up in a scarf: I have a date with a blanket scarf as soon as the weather turns!
Try something chai: It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is a quintessentially fall flavor that everyone needs to incorporate into their October!
Style a pumpkin centerpiece: No matter what your interior design tastes, a pumpkin makes for wonderful fall decor!
Take up knitting or crocheting: It’s officially time for me to start crocheting again, yay!
Braid your hair: Braids are definitely the most fall hairstyle, in my opinion!
Play in the leaves: You’re never too old for this!
Upgrade your moisturizer: Because winter is coming and you need to protect your skin!
Spend a quiet night at home: I like to light all the candles placed strategically around the house, turn off all the lights and listen to a scary story (like the Lovecraft tales above!)
Watch your favorite horror film: Or just any old Halloween flick you prefer!
So, what do you think of that list? Awesome, right? Well, feel free to download this free printable from my shop and use it to track your fall fun! While you’re in the shop, if you see anything else you like, feel free to use the code SCSHOP20 for 20% off your total order! This code is only good during the soft release of my shop, so make sure to use it before it expires!
