Rather than keeping a planner or an organizer. Dedicate the binder towards each member of the family and file things that associate them, is a great idea. I mean this is more effective than you planning out our day. By keeping information related to that family member makes your life much easier and less chaotic. I think this is a great idea.

I have 3 kids and I have a plastic multi pocket folder for each one. In each one there is an official birth certificate for the child (I also have a copy for my own files), and their social security card. I keep shot records, copies of physicals for school and scouts, report cards, state testing scores (in Texas it is the TAKS), and all special ed information for the child. It helps for teacher conferences, and once they are 18, you can just give the child his own folder.

In it I have phone numbers and addresses which really came in handy when I lost all my files on my computer. As I receive Holiday Cards I quickly look through my binder to update addresses as people moved so I have the correct information for next year. As for incoming papers and I have many of them which they come home in triplet. I have file folders on my desk. One for School, one for MOMS Club, One for Girls Scout, Coupons, Receipts, I file them away in their particular folder and toss as new ones come in. I also have a composition notebook next to my computer that I added different tabs to so I can jot things down as I find them from the computer and blogs that I read. I used to have post it notes all over but not any more since I use my notebook. Certainly came in handy for shopping for kids games this year as I jotted down a list of the best games both board and DS ones. Just recently I made a TO Do/To Call/To Buy little book that I have on the side of the computer as well. It's small like 4 x 6 in size. This is where I have been jotting down my to do's so to get it off my mind and i remember to do it. I just made this in Dec and so far it has been working out nicely. Hopefully I will continue to use it in 2010. I have a control journal mentioned above that I made when I too found fly lady.

They kept me organized and made sure that we didn't lose those school papers that kept coming home. Even now, with all the kids out of the house I still use the binders. That way my hubbie always knows where he can find things like postage or the print outs for travel plans or whatever. I have used a series of binders for many years.

Organizing my life (including the clutter of paperwork) is really important to me right now. I am going to try this out...and I will post it on my blog (success or failure). What a great idea.
