Living the WabiSabi Way: 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.
