Family binder: To Do Section

Family Binder: To Do Section   In this section I have 5 page protectors that hold all my pages and my one printable. In this section I have:   ~ A Daily To Do List ~ My Home Maintenance Schedule ~ An Everyday List ~ A daily and Weekly Chores Schedule ~A Monthly Zone Chores Chart ~ A Clean Out Checklist   The Breakdown!  The Daily To Do List: This is my printable for the section. On this list everything is broken into sections. The Must Do, which I put down everything that has to be done that day. The To Do, everything that should be done that day. Call Section: for all important calls for the day. Scheduled Section, if I have any appointments it goes there. Morning Section, this is everything that needs to be done first thing in the morning. Before Bed Section, this is all what needs to be done before going to bed. My water section, this is to make sure I drink my 8 glasses of water a day. And finally my Thankful For Section, this is just something to make sure that I keep everything I am thankful for in mind.   The Home Maintenance Schedule: This is a handwritten schedule, I have it broken into 3 big columns and in the last column I have it broken into 4 mini columns. The first column is for the chore, the second is for the details of what needs to be done, and the final column is for the dates completed. This keeps me on check with my monthly cleaning such as, fully cleaning out the fridge, changing batteries in all detectors, change lights in the ceiling fans, and cleaning the oven.    The Everyday List: This list I have found on pinterest and I think it is the most important thing that I could learn and add to my binder. I have to do some research to find the link again to link it in. But here is a basic gist of what it says. The first thing, update any and all family calendars, add in new birthday's or anniversaries and any and all appointments. This should be done at the end of each day (if this comes up often in your life). Next Meal Plan, I can't stress this enough and it really helps when you are living week to week. Plan all your meals off of what you have and then restock the house of what you need to make each meals. I plan for a week at a time. I make my meal plan, then I check what all I have in the fridge and in the cupboards and then i make a list of everything I need and hit the store. Very helpful when you have a little one, make one trip instead of two or three in a week. Next is utilize lists, brain dump any and all ideas you have and make sure it is as detailed as possible. Never leave a room empty!! Words to live by, especially with a little one. If it doesn't belong in the room take it out with you when you leave and put it where it belongs. Donation station, make a donation station and add two items to the box for a month and then look at all the wonderful space you have now gained in your home.  Make an errand shelf by your front door and put anything you need for the day there the night before so that way you never forget what you need for the next day. Do a 10 minute tidy up before bed to make your next day successful. And make sure to stay positive about it all. It's the best way to make things easier in life.   Daily & Weekly Chore Schedule: this is also handwritten and I have divided the paper in half and on one half I divided it into three sections and on the other half I divided it in five sections and labeled each section Monday thru Friday. And on the three section side I divided it into Morning, Afternoon and Evening Chores. I do not write on this paper, I actually use a dry erase marker on the page protector so that I can change things around daily to make sure I don't go crazy with repetition lol.    Monthly Zone Chores: Also handwritten, this page is divided into four sections. Living Room, Kitchen, Bedrooms, and Bathroom. Under each I have a detailed breakdown of what needs to be done in the room. Sometimes i like to take this and the weekly chores and focus on one zone a week to help knock everything off the list. I start it at the beginning of the month and work at it.    Clean out Check List: Another handwritten list but another one I found on pinterest as well. Again, I will have to work on finding the exact post again for everyone. But the basics is: Clean out under the sink, consolidate all cleaning products and pitch anything that has very little to nothing cleaning in. Clean out the bathroom: deep clean the shower, go through all beauty products and pitch old product. Fridge and Freezer: pitch all old food, and clean the shelves. Clean out under the beds, clean out anything that doesn't belong there. Clean out the car(s): clean it out, and organize what belongs there. Clean out wardrobe: get rid of (donate) tiny or extremely large clothing, pack away out of season clothes. Clean out your medicine cabinet: pitch old medicine, consolidate and organize. Clean out the office: pitch (shred) non-needed paper work and organize. And finally clean out your e-mail. Unsubscribe from those pesky emails that we get but never open, you know the ones. Organize all important stuff in folders and delete everything else that is not needed. I also do this at the beginning of every month.    And that about sums it up for my To Do Section. And yes I have a lot going on in this section and it is a bit much but it really does help. If there is any questions please feel free to ask.    **pictures to come soon**
