I have a confession to make, and it is not easy to do. But if I am being honest, I am obsessed with Home Management Binder Printables! Why, you may ask? The answer is quite simple…Home Management Binder Printables have changed my life!
Chaos without a Home Management Binder
I have always been a very organized person. Making lists to organize my thoughts is also something that has luckily come second nature. So, I thought I was doing a pretty good job of keeping on top of life’s everyday tasks. However, when my blended family grew larger with 5 kids and 5 dogs, my life quickly began to unravel.
The together mom that I had prided myself on being was replaced with a mom who was scattered and barely hanging on. I was scribbling lists everywhere just to feel like I had a bit of control.
This worked for a nanosecond until I started trying to hunt down all of my different lists. Some were scattered on scrap sheets of paper. Even worse, some were scribbled on the back of receipts. Admittedly, some were accidentally tossed in the trash. If you are getting a visual here, I am sure it is not a pretty one!
clear the clutter with home Management printables
As a fairly rational and intelligent human being, I decided to break down my every day life and tried to figure out where the kink in the chain was located. I seemingly had all the pieces, but what I was lacking was an organized system to tie everything together.
I began to see a theme emerging as I was analyzing my life. All of the pieces of the puzzle were there, but I was lacking all the edge pieces to coordinate it all. How could I be as organized as I thought when I had my grocery list on the back of one of my kiddos school papers and my errands list on the back of a random receipt?
Home Management Lists
Even though I had my lists written down, they were lacking cohesion. This was making my head spin. I started out with a notepad and decided to dedicate all of my thoughts here to keep everything in one spot. These pages were anchored at the top. While all of my thoughts were written down, they were also in a very random order within the confines of the notepad.
Then, I started to tear out the pages and punched holes in them so that I could put them in a notebook in the order that would make sense to my brain. This was a great start, and I felt like having moveable and fluid pages where I could add and subtract papers helped my mind process things a lot better. Hooray! Progress!
Home Management Printable Notebook – Everything In One Spot
Everything was in one place! No longer was I searching high and low to write something down on my grocery list. Also, I could easily update my pantry inventory right after going to the store. I was beginning to feel like I was starting to rein in the chaos of my life.
Having everything in the same spot took a huge weight off of my shoulders. If I needed to write something down to clear my head, jotting it down in my notebook actually brought the relief I needed! My thoughts were no longer a jumbled mess. I had written them down in one dedicated spot, and I was beginning to feel like the mountain I was climbing was actually manageable. Thus, so did my obsession with my home management binder!
Make Your Home Management Notebook Pretty!
While I was definitely making progress with my Home Management Binder system, I was not always as enthused to record my thoughts on notebook paper. I started to doodle on the sheets, write inspirational quotes, in a way personalize it to how I was feeling.
By doing this, I was making part of my every day life more enjoyable. I looked forward to recording my notes as I doodled my designs. When I visited my gift list sheet and recorded a gift idea, I enjoyed doodling a design on the page.
This in turn made me realize that if the page was more inviting and fun, I was definitely more likely to use it! I began designing pages that I loved, and my system really took shape. This was no longer a chore. I mean, everyday tasks are definitely chores, but recording them and keeping track of them does not have to be as dreary as they were!
remove the worry
One of the biggest bonuses I have seen with using a Home Organizing Printable system was that I removed the worry from my brain that I was forgetting something. If I had a thought in my head, I recorded it in my binder in a spot that made sense. If my brain could breathe a sigh of relief, it would have!
I no longer worry I am forgetting something or that my thoughts are randomly strewn about the house. I know that I have a system in place to calm my mind and keep my house in order. This has really helped me to keep my anxiety at bay and focus on what matters most in my home; my love, my 5 kiddos and my 5 pups!
