Clutter Control and Organizing Solutions

When you are first setting up your household notebook, you might wish to use forms that have already been created for you. This of course is optional. When I first set up mine, there were not printable ones so I created my own (plus it allowed me to customize it however I wanted).

A couple of years ago I downloaded some printable sheets and wasn’t all that excited, so I created my own which I placed on my website for others to download. I plan to make those available to you to download or you can create your own so they are more customized for you and your family’s needs.

The first thing you need to do is select the categories that you want inside your binder. Suggested categories are things like: finances, school, sports/activities, legal, important info, food/meals, and plenty more where those came from. It really is something you will need to select on your own since this is your notebook and will be used by your family.

Go ahead and create tabs/dividers for each category you plan to cover in your household notebook. Also spend some time gathering together some of the information, important papers and dates and other items you wish to keep in your household notebook. This will get you prepared for putting it all together, and also allow you to see what you might need categories for.

Please let me know if you have any questions so far. I’m only just beginning with teaching you everything I can about household notebooks, but I also would love to know what you are curious about, etc.
