One of the most valuable tools I’ve found for organizing our home and family life is the very versatile Household Notebook. Though a number of the forms that I use are those that I’ve gotten from either Organizedhome.com or Listplanit.com, I have worked on a few forms of my own.
My notebook is simply a three-ring binder with some divider pages. I have four main divisions (each with several subdivisions): Calendar/Planner; Household; Family; and Personal.
But the greatest fun is to customize your notebook to fit you. Help yourself to these forms, and have fun keeping house!
