FAQ

Our guarantee is that The Daily Grind Discbound Planner is one that you’ll use from cover to cover. What we found to be true with a coil bound system, is that once somebody missed a page, it set their entire planner out of sorts and hurt their motivation to continue. With the discbound system, you can simply move the page for the day you missed to the following week, and your planner continues on seamlessly. Furthermore, it’s no secret that we love seasonal cover launches. Without the discbound system, our seasonal covers were launched as entirely new planners. With the discbound system, our seasonal covers can be covers on their own that you can interchange for the month in which it’s relevant (Christmas cover in December, Halloween cover in October and so forth). We also have a TON of other amazing ideas on how to use the discbound system to make sure your Daily Grind Planner is your BEST goal setting, planning and life organizing asset.

The new Daily Grind Discbound Planner is a product of feedback we received from our amazing customers & community. The system remains the same, the philosophies and ideas behind the planner remain the same … but the specifics were completely changed as a result of your feedback.

1 - Interchangeable covers & pages for completely flexible planning & goal setting. 

2 - A more travel friendly / durable format with a new matte hardcover finish, and corner protectors. 

3 - More content in the way of a 30 day challenge on the inside front cover for you to enjoy.

4 - Changes made to the daily page giving you more space to write out your goals, and your daily schedule. 

5 - Changes made to the 4 month habit tracker to allow for more space documenting your notes and rating your progress towards accomplishing your goals.

6 - Improved “week ahead” and “week in review” format for a more concise yet effective system for planning for & monitoring your week to week progress.

The planners are equipped with 4 months worth of custom sheets for daily, weekly & monthly planning and goal setting!

Our seasonal designs are always launched on a limited basis. We think it’s fun to own stuff that’s unique, and we like that our planner designs are being seen as collector's items.

Our planners are made up of 148gsm paper, which is a very thick stock. It ensures the ink from your pen or highlighter is never seen through to the back of the page.

What you do with the blank pages is limited only to your imagination. In our community group on Facebook, there is an album dedicated to showcasing what other customers are doing with their blank pages. You can also check out our Instagram for ideas: @thedailygrindplanner

Our community group is merely that: a community of people we’ve created on Facebook who own a Daily Grind Planner and like to share ideas on how to best use their planners, and also like to discuss challenges, successes and various questions they may have about their personal growth journey.

Honestly, anybody! If you feel you’d like to be clearer on the goals that matter to you, and would like a system for staying consistent in your pursuit of those goals, this planner is meant for YOU.

The idea is not that you specifically follow a calendar month. The idea is TODAY is the best day to start working on your goals. The dates are left blank so that TODAY can be your start date, and you progress all throughout your planner (for 4 months) AND beyond.

The Daily Grind Planner was created as a 4 month goal setting system because we see 4 months as the sweet spot. It's enough time to accomplish major goals, but it's not as overwhelming as a 12 month planner would be.

We carry decorative and functional planner stickers to help you utilize your planner to the max, but we also have full decorative Daily Sticker Kits available for those who want to go all in with decorating your planner pages.

Our Daily Sticker Kits are designed specifically for the Daily Pages within the Daily Grind Planner. These kits are a great way to add some decoration AND functionality to your planner and each kit comes with 2 sticker sheets with 110+ themed stickers.

We use two different types of premium quality sticker paper across all of our products. Depending on which sticker sheet you're browsing the stickers are either printed on ... 1) an ink-friendly matte sticker paper that allows for quick repositioning and a no smudge writing experience ... or 2) a premium clear sticker paper for a seamless look inside your planner.

If you've purchased from us before .. Join our Daily Grind Support & Accountability group on Facebook! We have a private community support group for all Daily Grind Customers where we share excuslive content, tutorials, perks on launches, prizes, etc! In this group we will be sharing A LOT of ideas and tips on how we are using the planner stickers and how others in our community are using them as well.

They sure do! The simple philosophy is that if you're putting time into making your planner pages aesthetically pleasing with stickers, you're more likely to do the things written down in your planner. Plus, stickers are great functionally for creating visuals in your planner, color coding goals/habits, and noting important tasks. So, YES! Stickers make planning more fun & definitely effective!

Note that the Daily Grind Planner, and the Dream Life Blueprint Workbook have a completely different purpose. While the planner’s intent is to identify your goals, and track them daily; the workbook is about learning to understand what you truly want out of life, creating a grand vision for yourself, and setting goals as well as giving you the tools to chase those goals daily. The Daily Grind Planner is a daily habit, while the Blueprint is a project you’ll want to take on anytime you’re feeling as though your life needs a bit of direction.

We feel the Dream Life Blueprint is the perfect balance of supportive content, guided exercises, and clear instruction. Many workbooks can feel more like planners,  journals, or be downright confusing. Ours is intended to truly help you with self-discovery, personal growth, and goal setting in a way that is thoughtful, thorough and clear. By the end of this workbook, you should have greater clarity on your life’s vision, and what is going to motivate you in your pursuit of seeing it through. 

The founder & author, Angie Bellemare, models all of the resources from the Daily Grind brand on how she herself works. In this instance, the workbook was a process Angie took herself through years ago, and she did so on an artist pad. She notes that having an oversized pad spread out across her coffee table, surrounded by her pens, markers and extra notepads created a sense of immersion and allowed her to give the tasks the undivided attention they deserved. In going through the Dream Life Blueprint Workbook, you’ll experience a similar sense of immersion that will allow you to eliminate distractions and focus on the importance of the questions & answers you’ll be faced with in the workbook.

The Dream Life Blueprint consists of 10 chapters where you will be guided through the following topics:

• Where you are currently in your life (what are you happy with, and less-happy with).
• What personality profile do you best identify with?
• What do you value (What fills your cup & can make a higher priority in your life)?
• What do you really want to accomplish in your life?
• What are the main motivators that will help get you there?
• What risks draining your energy along the way (setting boundaries and how to say “no”)?
• How can you reset from an “off-day” to avoid down time in the pursuit of your goals?
• Identifying where your time may be being wasted, and implementing time hacks to help.
• What needs to change for you to accomplish your goals?
• Create a game plan to design and pursue your dream life!

At the end of the day, you can find so many designs & specs for your pen sets. We curated this specific construction for our Daily Grind pens because we feel they are the best overall quality & value for your planning needs. From the color selection, the fine tip and the durable build. The Daily Grind pen set will give you everything you need to flex your creative abilities in the most enjoyable and effective way possible.

Sure… blue, black and red are the most popular colors. But what’s the fun in that? The goal with the variety of colors in our pen set is that you’ll use them all for color coding your goals, or color coding your progress, or using the colors in some way to add a unique flare to your Daily Grind planner, or Dream Life Blueprint Workbook.

The dual tip was an option just too perfect to pass up. On one side of the highlighter, you have a tip that is sized perfectly to accommodate highlighting & color coding your top 10 goals, and just about every other ‘highlightable’ area of the daily pages. On the other side, you have a narrower tip, which is perfect for doodling, or coloring in your doodles. We feel the dual tip is perfect for maximizing your creative abilities, but also ensures you are being as efficient as possible with your Daily Grind Planner.

We here at the Daily Grind love the idea of consistency. You won’t often find neon colors in our cover designs, or in any of our graphic work online or in our planners / workbooks. The pastel colors from our highlighter sets, we feel, align with the color scheme of your planner cover, are ink friendly, quick drying and also ensure that there aren’t any dramatic contrasts when you’re designing your daily pages. Afterall, every goal deserves your attention!

The case is mainly intended to hold your Daily Grind Planner + accessories. It’s unlikely that it’ll fit your laptop. However, it will fit most tablets, electronics and peripherals, such as a mouse, headphones and tablet keyboard attachments.

The case is made from a thick polyester composition which is intended to protect and withstand a bit of “rough stuff”. Also, the hardware is all aluminum as opposed the plastic which will help your case last longer and be more durable.

Use this text to answer questions in as much detail as possible for your customers.

As you may know, nothing is “permanent” at the Daily Grind. However, the cases are considered a part of our “core” collection, which means they will be restocked and remain in inventory until a new rendition is designed & created.
