Thank you Jessica, you’ve inspired me! I’m motivated and ready to start my own organized notebook. All the comments are great too for offering different ideas on what works. I love Kendell’s comment on using Google Calendar & Documents – my home office is filled with lists like books to read, gift ideas, etc. and I could easily go paperless and place these in Google documents!

I had one sheet laminated and I write on it with wet-erase markers.

Do you print a sheet for every day or do you put it in a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker? I currently use a clipboard for chores but I’m like you–I like a sprial bound portable book that’s simple and easy to use.

It was $5! I consider that a bargain for a custom planner.

I LOVE the idea of making my own planner! I’m curious… how pricey was the binding?

I’ve just started to piece mine together from various sites and ideas. The base of it is a zippered trapper-keeper type binder. At the front of it is just lined paper for jotting down ideas and basic lists. I also have a folder that holds print-outs for freezer/pantry inventory and a list of numbers for companies like the phone and elect. so I don’t have to bother with the phone book if I have an issue. There’s also a list of birthdays and such by month. (I’m always forgetting those) All the little pockets in the binder hold things like large folders that hold tax paperwork as it comes in. When tax time comes, just grab the envelope. I’m working on a cleaning schedule and refining my notebook. It’s a good place to put the mail too..toddler safe. Yes, having a digital version is great ..until you have a power outage or the battery dies..or it finds a body of water/hard surface.
