The Belle Binder

Okay, so I have one of these for myself and gave one to Larissa for her birthday last month.  I thought that as she and I endeavored to keep her organized, you all might like to join in.  This is the Belle Binder!

Supplies:

The supplies for the Belle Binder are very minimal and as follows,

Given that this is in a binder, you will need one to keep yourself organized.  I have a cut polka dot one for myself, whereas Larrissa’s is just a solid color with clear openings to insert your own artwork or patters you like or whatever.

The binder is split up into eight sections.

A major part of getting organized is scheduling.  You can either print calendar pages out or buy any sort of planner you like.  They come in a variety of sizes and patterns so you’re bound to find something you like!

Especially for the planner, but just in general, it’s nice to have some different colored pens to work with.

A no brainer.

So, now that you’ve gathered all your supplies, put together the binder with the planner in front and a blank sheet of paper in the front binder pocket.  Put the tabs dividers in order.

Now, it’s time to label!

You will need the following tabs:

1. Goals–To organize the goals you will make this year

2.  Routines-To organize your day-to-day routines, exercise routines, cleaning routines, etcetera.

3.  Budget-To organize your finances.

4.  Inventories-To organize your stuff.

5.  Menu Planning-To organize your diet.

6.  Addresses-To organize your people.

7.  (blank for your personal needs)-Think about what you need organized, add it here.

8.  (blank for your personal needs)-Think about what you need organized, add it here.

We’ll continue to discuss this binder later, but getting started is the first step!
