Does anyone have a household binder/notebook?

[morgansvoice]

I do! I separated mine into:

1. Basic House Plans (school schedule, house cleaning schedule, work sched., etc.)
2. Bills
3. Budget
4. Meal Plan
5. Student Loan Info/ College Info/ Copies of School Paperwork
6. Emergency Information (Phone numbers, addresses, important papers, etc.)
7. Debt Repayment Information
8. Receipts

It's just a basic 5-star notebook that I had left over from my last semester at college.



I doodled on the front of it, because that's what I do.

This is my first page, it's basically my New Year's resolutions, spread out into months, so that I don't try to do everything at once, fail miserably, and give up:



This is my basic House plans section, I've got the Coupon Insert Schedule as the first thing I see in it, and in the little pocket part of the divider, I have a checklist of food storage baby steps I found at Food Storage Made Easy.

Picture:



I have smaller dividers in-between the large ones, so that everything is separated out better. I also have a calendar that I found at The Tip Junkie, and I also found a pretty cute one at The TomKat Studio as well, that I use in my coupon binder.

Here's a pic of my School Work Schedule; this is my last semester before I graduate with my AA (in Secondary Education) so I wanted to be organized about when I do my homework, since I'm taking classes online (which are hard to stay on top of):



Here's a pic of the calendar from The Tip Junkie:



I separate my bill divider by paid and unpaid, with a small divider in-between. After the check goes through our account, I print out a copy of it and staple it to the bill, just in case:



These are my receipts, I keep them just to make sure I spend my budgeted money on what I budgeted it on, because I don't always feel comfortable carrying cash around.



I also have a List Notebook, which is just filled with nothing but lists; a honey-do list, a list of things that I need for our Emergency Storage, etc. They aren't in order, really. I'm a very list loving person.



In my Emergency Information section, I put copies of all of our important documents that we might need in case we lose the originals or in case of emergency. For example: I have copies of our health insurance cards, car insurance information, marriage certificate, birth certificates, etc.

In the Important School Section, I've put copies of my Dean's List Certificates, copies of MPNs signed for student loans, and I printed out my transcripts, and I'm trying to find all of my syllabi from the classes I've taken, just in case I need them when I transfer to Graduate School.

Anyways, I'm excited that I'm actually getting organized, so that is why I am so eager to share!

oooh! Nice notebook!!!!! I so want to do this.

There was a blog that mentioned a notebook and it had a lot of the same things--daily cleaning list/monthly list, daily docket, etc. There were some free templates. PM me OP if you want the link. I am just using the cleaning list for now; trying to see what works best. I do have a meal plan and freezer inventory but they are not in a notebook. I love this idea though!

This is a great idea. I should have thought of it before.
