Snazzy Home Management Binder

Over the past 4 months I have been working on hitting my clutter spots -- As a major packrat, there are many of them .

To work on my spirit side I needed a good system in place and fast.


Honestly I never heard of the concept of a home binder till about 2 weeks ago. I then stumbled on  Bowl full of lemons who has a weekly recommendation program. That works for my pace, so I gave it a serious thought and got down to the business of putting my binder together.

Since I had a few, I chose a lean folder that dazzled...

Good to find it in my pile of papers. Ohh what am I saying ???  This format should hopefully free me of all my written papers - to do's, to buy's, errands, recipes, grocery lists and STUFF...   You know ...


I figured I wanted my tabs to be unique so what better source than all my lovely magazines ( that I can never throw away - another clutter story for another day).

So here goes on what I did.

1. Itemized what I wanted
2. Printed it, as I wanted it larger than my label maker makes.
3. Identified pictures from my mags and slid them into a sheet protector. ( I used the thicker sheets behind it to give it some weight)
4. Tabbed them and all done.
5. Now I am writing up schedules and cleaning programs as per my needs.

A great big thanks to a participant who compiled a list of all the printables.

Calenders to keep me on time

For all my cleaning lists

For my Contacts spreadsheets and emergency numbers

Managed finances allows one to indulge in 

shopping ;-)

My menu planning tab

The health tab -  what better than a cocktail including Pomegranate juice

Oh if only I could be half as slim !

and finally    -  Party time

Another step to an organized and streamlined life...

Thanks Toni for the clearcut process

What happens when one jumps in feet first?


You create a blog and then find out here is so much more to managing it, than using pre designed templates and start writing.

As I browsed other blogs, I saw that there were so many fun things one can do... but, till I have the time to implement them, I shall fully utilize all the hard work template designers have put in to give me this fun space.

Wabi Sabi  ---- A term that has been around for a while is what you could pin my casual and easy going mantra to.

Call it what you may- Chilled out, low stress, easy going, I have always tried not to let things get to me.  But that raises questions - Why am I not as competitive as the next person, why am I happy being an audience rather than the prima ballerina and when did the lines blur between trying too hard and really not trying?

Join me as as I set out to seeing joy in the simple things of life as I organize, design and plan my way through life...
