Organizing Your Office
What is your best organizational tip?
I am trying to organize my life better (New Year’s resolution). I have one teenager at home and a home office. Any tips?
Consider creating a Household Resource Binder using a large 3 ring binder. You can use dividers to separate it into whatever sections you like. Here are a of our binder sections:
Family Dining (coupons, circulars, grocery list, weekly menu)
Take Out Menus
Contact information ( friends, relatives, teachers, etc)
Children (permission slips, field trip information, etc)
Monthly Calendar
“The Binder” is the first place we go to look for things. No one has to ask what’s for dinner because it’s listed in the binder. There’s no digging through drawers to find the Chinese take out menu because it’s safe inside the binder. Everyone knows when Dad works late because it’s noted on the calendar inside the binder.
I’ve found that using a resource binder cuts down on excessive paper build up because everything has a place.
Make it as elaborate or as low key as you wish. Good luck!
