Taming the procrastinating, ADD, mess cat within me.

This is Part 2 of my Home Management Binder post. (You can read the Part 1 post about my daily planner here.) As I said, I divided my information into five categories/binders:

• My Daily Planner
• Main Household Management Binder
• Meal Planning/Shopping/Pantry Binder
• Finance Binder
• Blogging Binder

For my household binder, instead of starting my own sheets from scratch, I turned to one of my favorite organizing gurus – Jennifer at iheartorganizing.blogspot.com and ordered her Family Household Binder Kit. I have already used a number of her worksheets in the past and have been very happy with them. I received the personalize cover and spine as well as numerous household worksheets and lists. (I blocked out our family name to privacy. ;-))

I purchased Avery Plastic Dividers with Slash Pockets (11903) and divided up my main binder into eight categories.

1. Important Info

• Financial, Medical, Insurance info

• Contact List of Important Numbers

• Important Dates (Birthdays, Anniversaries, Baptismal Dates etc.)

• Babysitting Notes (Info for our babysitter, when we finally get one!)

2. Cleaning

• Cleaning Checklist

• Home Maintenance List

• Master Home Project List

3. Auto

• Maintenance Log

• Warranty Info, etc

4. Travel & Outings

• Travel Checklist

• Outing Ideas

• Favorite Places to Visit

5. Books & Entertainment

• Media Inventory

• Library Log

• Book/DVD Check-out Log (Items we’ve loaned out.)

6. Holiday & Party Planning

• Party Plan List

• Holiday Gift Giving Worksheet

• Gift Ideas & Notes

7. Pet Log

• Fish Tank Cleaning Log

8. Blank Monthly Calendars
Okay, that’s all I have time for at the moment. I’ll post about my Meal Planning Binder next.
