Okay you guys- I’m REALLY starting to freak out now because it’s November already and I have no clue how and when that happened but it did! Two months left in the year, just TWO!! Well, as is the monthly tradition its time for your freebies. Enjoy them, share pics of them on social media and tag me @MissTrenchcoat so I can check them out!
Today is a very exciting day because a fun project that I’ve been working on is FINALLY released for you all to see. I have been working with one of my favorite #BOSSBABES and Planner Guru’s, Haley Cairo of Mae Movement, on some collab videos around the topic of Law of Attraction. We are both MAJOR believers in Law of Attraction and have used it successfully in our own lives and businesses, so we thought it was about time to translate some of the main tenants of the philosophy into a few fun and informative videos.
First up, I definitely think you need to check out the video we did for Haley’s channel called DIY VISION BOARDS | HOW TO GET ANYTHING YOU WANT! In this video, we walk you through the steps to creating a FUNCTIONAL vision board using the principles of Law of Attraction. If you thought you knew how to make a vision board already, hold your horses because there is some real SCIENCE behind this that I bet you may not have known about.
Next check out the video we made for my channel called How to Manifest Your Goals In Your Planner Using Law of Attraction! That’s right! This video is all about practical tips for using your planner to help you manifest using Law of Attraction so if you are a planner lover like Haley and I are, you NEED these tips. PLUS, I made a nice little cheat sheet for you to keep with the tips so you don’t have any excuse not to use them for your own manifestation!
I’d love to know how you enjoyed these videos and if you’d like to see more Law of Attraction content with me or if you want Haley and I to do another collab, I’d love your thoughts! Make sure to follow me @MissTrenchcoat and @HaleyCairoon Instagram and of course make sure you are subscribed to both our channels so you don’t miss any future videos!
IT’S BAAAAAACK! October that is! Oh heavens, do I love October! It’s seriously my favorite month of the year and did you know that the 31 Things to Do in October Free Planner Printable was the first monthly checklist I ever made? That’s right, it all started three years ago with this original list which was intended to help me keep track of all the fun seasonal fall and October activities I wanted to experience in the month. Well, if you too are a lover of October and fall, get excited because these Pumpkin Spice FREEBIES are sure to make your month SPOOKTACULAR!
Wishing you the best for a wonderful October! Don’t forget to share a snap of your dashboard or wallpaper with me on Instagram or Twitter. Tag me @MissTrenchcoat and feel free to use the tag #CharmedGTD so my whole community can check out how you are rocking your monthly freebies!

It’s back and better than ever and I want to spend just a few moments giving you some important details about this year’s launch! First of all in case you didn’t know, the Charmed Life Planner is available in A5/Half Letter, Filofax Personal AND A4/US Letter sizes!
2018 Charmed Life Printable Planner A5/Half Letter
The A5 version, pictured above, has a vertical week on two pages layout for your daily planning, along with month on two pages layouts, a master monthly task list and an expense sheet for every month! It’s a complete printable planner solution but this year I’ve made it even better. Printing inserts at home isn’t always the easiest, printers are not all created equal and there are different paper sizing standards around the globe that make designing a single usable file difficult to manage. After talking to many customers who use and love the Charmed Life Planner, this year I’m adding 2 additional files to your A5 Charmed Life Planner purchase to give you options when printing your planner at home.
The three (3) files you will now get for this size are:
US Standard Half Letter File (same as last year’s design)
US Bordered Printing Option (so those with printers that cannot print borderless don’t have to guess on how to scale the file)
True A5 File designed to print on A4 paper (for those of you who use A4 as your standard).
The 2018 Charmed Life Printable Planner in personal size is the same great day on one page design as last year with the muted time table for scheduling a full day of events and tasks! Due to its more compact size that prints well on US Letter or A4 , this planner was easier to print without issue and so there is no major design changes or additional files necessary. This size, as well, includes the month on two pages layout, a master monthly task list and an expense sheet for each month of the year.
The 2018 Charmed Life Printable Planner in A4/US Letter size is a unique design introduced last year and comes with two design files, one week on two pages and one week on one page. When you purchase the A4/US Letter size you get BOTH styles so you can choose which layout works best for you. Not only does the A4/US Letter design excel in providing amazing space and dedicated planning elements for multiple areas of your life, but it’s also very easy to print in the full size design.
This year I am continuing to offer the Functional Planning Bundle for all three Charmed Life Printable Planners. The bundles will include the Charmed Life Planner in your choice of size, the Yearly Project Tracker, Project Planning Sheet and an additional Task List.
For a limited time, when you purchase ANY 2018 Charmed Life Planner or Functional Planning Bundle, you will receive two (2) great freebies!
#CharmedGTD Quick Start Guide: Inspiration and instruction for working smarter, not harder
Exclusive Downloadable Graphic “I’m a List Lover with a Planner Problem!”
◦ Both Freebies are included in the downloads for your purchase automatically!
Make sure to check out my recent planner set up video for my full announcement and my updated planner set up video and I can’t wait to see how you set up your 2018 Charmed Life Planner, so make sure to take a picture and share it on Twitter or Instagram, tag me @MissTrenchcoat and use #CharmedGTD so everyone in the community can get inspiration from you as well!

Discbound Planners 101: How to Get Started Using a Discbound System
For quite some time now, my planner binding method of choice has been the discbound system. If you are not familiar with the disc binding concept, it is similar to the idea of a spiral notebook, but instead of a solid metal spiral holding the notebook together, you have metal or plastic discs that can pop in and out of a cover. These discs being removable means that you can add and remove paper to your disc bound system as you like, so long as the paper has been punched with a disc binding punch. I love the custom planner I created with the help of the discbound systems, so today I would like to share some key information and resources with you to help you get started creating your own custom planner system using discbound notebooks and binding accessories.
The BEST Features of a Discbound System
1. Customization: The main reason I love using a discbound system as my planner is because it is completely customizable. I can create my own custom planner inside the binding and add and remove items on a whim. I find the disc binding to be very secure, but also easy for you to add and remove elements at the same time.
2. Interchangeability: The next feature I love about discbound system is that they are interchangeable for the most part. Below I will outline some of the most popular discbound planner systems to give you an idea of the options available, but with each system the discs, refills, accessories are interchangeable so you can pick and choose what you want to use from one collection or another to build your perfect system.
3. Flexibility: The final feature I love about discbound systems is that they fold over onto themselves like a spiral bound notebook. I love this flexibility because I am someone who does like to fold a notebook over to write. Although my personal discbound planner is kept inside a notebook cover, I frequently remove my planner portion from the cover to write in it, and of course I fold the system over like a notebook when I do!
The Most Popular Disc Bound Systems
As I mentioned earlier, there are a number of discbound planner systems out on the market currently. Here is a list below with clickable links to help you browse some of the most popular systems to find the right elements to help you build your perfect system.
3. Punch: Of course, if you are interested in creating a customizable system like me, you are going to need to get a discbound punch. I recommend getting one from the system you use most. I personally use the Arc version and love it because although it is a bit larger, it has wonderful guides to help you punch a variety of sizes of paper.
4. Inserts/Refills: Another very necessary element of a discbound system are the inserts or refills you use. Now, as you may already know, I use the Functional Planning Bundle of inserts from my own shop to create my planner system, but most of the major brands also sell calendar, project planning and note taking pages and refills, so if you are not into creating a custom planner with printable inserts like I do, you do have some options. More and more, however, I see that sellers on Etsy are also giving the option to purchase pre-printed and pre-punched discbound compatible inserts, so you have that option as well. You could also use another set of inserts and punch them with your discbound punch as well, if you are looking for something very specific that might not yet be available. I’d recommend checking on size compatibility for your inserts with the system you are using before proceeding with this option.
How to Create a Custom Planner with the Disc Bound System
If you are interested in a creating your own custom planner using the discbound system, here is a video tutorial I created that walks you through the very simple process. Definitely check out this video and the links I’ve left in this article to help you find the different elements of your ideal planner system so that you can build a planner that is all your own and custom to your needs!
I hope this information has been helpful to you as you evaluate the discbound planner system for yourself. If you have any other questions about the system, feel free to leave me a comment and I’ll do my best to help you get the information you need to create your perfect planner system!
