Organizing with Household Notebooks

In addition to having an incoming paper box for sorting as described in the last post, having a household notebook for frequently used information is a good idea.  A 3 ring binder with subject tabs and clear protector pages is a great tool for keeping papers that need to be close at hand because of vital or frequently used information.

Some items that can be placed in it are frequently used addresses and phone numbers, school menus, sports calendars and schedules, field trip information, favorite recipes, birthday information, etc.  Each notebook would be filled with items specifc to each family.

Ideally this notebook should be located in a central message area but because it is portable, it can be taken anywhere it is needed.
