November is right around the corner and we only have a few precious weeks left in 2015 before our new year begins, so now is the time to start thinking about your Filofax or planner set up for 2016! My favorite thing about using a Filofax or other customizable planner system is that I have control over the inserts I use and how my planner is organized. If something isn’t working in my planner, I don’t have to trash it or live with it, I can course correct with new inserts until I find what works for me! Personally, my planner journey has been a long, but fun road! I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on some great systems and beautiful binders and if you have been following my planner journey for some time, you know I have tried nearly every type of system under the sun, but ultimately, the systems I end up sticking to are customizable ones! I need to have control over the way I view and plan my days, especially as a multi-passionate entrepreneur! This is why, from day one, I have created my own printable planner inserts that are unlike anything I have seen available before, and I’m very excited to announce that I have a whole collection of new and updated inserts now available for 2016. Let me show you what’s new!
The Charmed Life Planner + Charmed Life Personal Planner
New for 2016 are two complete continuous planner systems! What I mean when I say continuous is that these planner inserts are a mix of monthly, weekly and organization pages that cycle through on a monthly basis. So, instead of having a section with all your monthly spreads, and then a section with all your weekly spreads, in these continuous inserts, the month begins with a monthly view, then goes into some organizational inserts for the month and then the weeks of that month follow, until you get to the new month and the cycle of continuous inserts begins again. It’s a much more streamlined way to organize your planner inserts, and a request my customers have made for some time.
Now, the two systems are respectively known as The Charmed Life Planner and The Charmed Life Personal Planner, the former being a half -letter (A5 equivalent) and the latter being a Filofax equivalent personal sized insert. Now the A5 Charmed Life Planner was released as a 17 Month printable planner system back in August, and includes my unique vertical week on two pages layout. This layout has proven to be an amazing planning resource for my business and from the businesses of friends and fellow entrepreneurs that I know who have been using and loving The Charmed Life Planner! With room for you to zero in on your top three priorities for the day, a ruled section that can be used for taking notes, making a list, or setting a schedule, and finally an open area that is flexible enough to fill a variety of uses- this printable planner is a complete business building solution! Other inserts within this planner include month on two pages calendars, monthly master task lists, and an expense tracker for each month to help you keep your plans and your money in order!
Now, The Charmed Life Personal Planner is the real new kid on the block! Following in the footsteps of its big brother, this personal sized planner insert set is just as ready to help you get down to business with my streamlined day per page design! Let’s be honest, as a business entrepreneur, most personal sized planner inserts just don’t provide enough room for you to plan and think, so to solve this problem for myself, I created another versatile business planning insert that provides the answers. A day per page with a lightly printed hourly schedule gives you the ability to schedule a full day of meetings, take copius amounts of notes, and make lists and plans to your hearts content. Of course this printable insert set also includes the built in month on two pages layouts, monthly task list and expense sheet as well, but this pint sized planner also has something extra- inspirational artwork acting as dividers between each of the months! So, don’t fret if you can’t keep the whole year of inserts inside your personal planner, these divider pages make splitting your inserts into months or quarters for easy storage very elegant!

Of course, over in my shop you can also find my complete collection of individual dated printable planner inserts to fill a variety of planning needs, all updated with 2016 dates!

Last but certainly not least, I of course have a variety of new 2016 free printables in the shop to help you add some simple organizational elegance to your planner system!
First, I have a lovely 2016 Year at a Glance Insert! The perfect date reference for your planner.

And finally, don’t forget to stop by the shop each month for my free monthly bundle! Each month I put out a Monthly Dashboard and seasonally inspired task list to help you add inspiration to your planner! November’s inserts are now ready!
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get started organizing my planners for 2016! I hope this overview helped introduce you to a new planner insert that will bring you closer to planner peace! Let me know what you think of the new designs and new freebies down in the comments!
