Another organization thing I’ve done for years- buy cards you’ll need in the next 3-4, 6 months, with post its listed who the card is for, the event date, bday, anniversary, etc, and note a mailby date if you’re mailing, then group them by months. I used to use dividers with holders and keeithem in a notebook, now I have a container they sit in month order. I always buy extra generic bday cards, and keep sympathy cards in the inventory. You will not be left without a card to send, you can buy next years mothers and fathers day card after the holiday. What I really like about this system, being on time with the card and allowing myself time to pick out a card that fits the person, instead of running to the store and grabbing a card, it’s more meaningful. Try this, it’s an easy organizational solution.

Also, I have a 3 ring binder of recipes. There are 2 main sections: Tried & True and Under Development. Within each section there are the normal divisions. My Tried & True recipes are easy to make, never-fail, crowd pleasers; the ones I fall back on time after time. My Under Development recipes are those that I want to try and those that I tried but that need adjustments. Handy.

Thats so funny. I just had a burnout and made my own organiser to get some control back over my life. I felt like doing it and didn't know it was a thing. Now I feel less of a freak, thanks. In mine there is kinda a structure going on. I do have a To Do list in front but the reaccuring topics on it link to my tabs. So the little things you do each month are needed to get bigger things done. It makes the big things feel more manageble. I gave every topic in my life that was causing me stress to keep it together a seperate tab. So I can look at the individual problem 1 at a time, find solutions ...get the overview and take back control over my life. Its relaxing and empowering at the same time. Everything in my life of importance can basically be put into 5 groups: 1) Finances: Everything you wanna know at your fingertips. I know exactly where my money goes now. I love it! Should have done that one years ago. 2) Health; medical stuff (appointments, medication and docter names etc.), exorcise, a healthy diet. 3) ME: I gave me time a special tab cause thats how I got my burnout to begin with. Giving my needs a tab forces me to focus on myself as well. Its a little reminder that I am important to me now. Its basically lists of what I like to do for fun if I get the time. And handy tips I learned to not get a burnout again. And possitive motivational quotes I found and wanna remember. Dream vacations. Stuff like that. This tab is not so much a cause of stress more the feel good section...to prevent stress. 4) Career: Work and study stuff. Where do I wanna be in 5 years kinda stuff. And how do I plan on getting there. 5) Household: cleaning lists, organisational lists. I realised all my sources of stress basically fit behind these 5 tabs. So 1 ordner mirrors my life. Good God I should have done this years ago. All the stuff you worry about is out of your head and on paper...and you can clearly see from it...I have nothing to worry about...its all fine. And when its not fine my organiser will show it...so relax. I had shit covered all along, why stress out about it?

One thing that has saved me-I don’t know how many times-is having a list of my passwords in my binder. With all mine & my family of 8’s many accounts of all kinds, i have to have a master list. Maybe it’s not the most secure thing, but neither is not knowing any of my passwords, haha. The other thing that’s different than yours is having a page that has all my monthly reoccurring bills listed in chronological order & with the amount (if it’s the same), & it has columns for just checking them off each month as they come in. If I don’t get to actually diving into my budget, at least I know I’m tracking which bills are getting paid each month. And the whole year fits on a page. 👍

I simplified the system a bit for myself. I do my daily tasks and then 15 minutes of whatever is urgent (with decluttering being more urgent than deep cleaning, and cleaning being more urgent than most DIYs etc), and if nothing is very urgent I may look at the zone cleaning list to pick something. In the end what really matters is doing a little bit every day!

Now I can see the importance of getting these things on paper so that I don't forget to get Jim, or man that helps with things my husband can not do, to do something . That way I would not have to wait till he comes back again in a few months. I think that I am ready to move to another level of the FlyLady system.

I've got a section for my routines and zones, a section for my meal planning and a section for my ideas (I'm a dreamer lol). I have a pencil pouch with envelopes stamps checkbooks pens post-its and highlighters. I'm about to add a pouch that's an expandable file folder that you can click right in!! I'll use this for my gas and car receipts (I work from my car in home care) for any to do papers, or papers for my husband's errands I run! I recently found debtkickin mom and she has an amazing zero waste meal planning video that I'm trying to implement! So I've added a handwritten calendar to my meal plan section and have one page with all meal ideas like you suggest to help keep it all central. I just flip to a new page to write my grocery list as I plan and then use the "flipp" app to transfer to my phone! Loving your videos!!!

There is an App called "Paprika" that is wonderful for "clipping" recipes from the internet. It very easily imports your recipe finds into the program. You, literally, click one button to import. Once the recipe is in the program, you can use it to create shopping lists, meal plans, menus etc. The only thing it does not have is a nutritional breakdown of your recipes. What I find is the best thing is that you can sync with your tablet and/or smart phone. I love the app. If you're "clipping" recipes from the internet, its a wonderful place to store them. That way, if the internet is down, or you can't connect, or - as in my case - you simply can't remember where you found the recipe.... well, it's right there!

I can’t wait to make my control journal. One page I’ll be adding is a Christmas gift list. That way when an idea of a perfect gift for someone pops in my head I can write it down 😃

Flylady has a free printable for the Holiday's! It is the Holiday Control Journal. You may find it helpful.🙂

Printing off recipes is really the best because I have had Christmas recipes that I love from Pinterest but when I go back the next year the blog has been removed so I can’t find the recipe! You just can’t trust the internet to keep your favorites. Also if you are like me and like everything on your phone because you are always on the go WONDERLIST is an amazing app that you can use for this.

Roxy Person thanks for the app suggestions! I just downloaded it and I think it’s going to be very helpful 😊

Agree with Chlexie on adding a HOLIDAY section (Christmas gifts/cards/thank-yous, Thanksgiving meal, etc). Also HEALTH with dates of dental checks, eye checks, annual physicals, optical rXes, etc.)

Oh! And how about EVENTS (parties, birthdays), and PLACES (list of local things to do, or places you’d like to visit). I have an out-of-town guest coming soon, so I have started a list of local places of interest, fun restaurants, etc that we can visit while she’s here.
@TheSecretSlob5 жыл бұрын
All really good ideas! I love the lists of places/restaurants. I would also add a 'books to read' section, people know I love reading and always recommend books that I end up forgetting 🤦♀️

I have a complete mess too but its been a year... may be I can treat myself too... I even took my main lists and gave the away to a dear friend whom I am introducing into the system so she can have that little push she needs.

Did go out today and got some new supplies for my journal...want to spiff it up some. Left your KZbin channel on today for my dogs while I ran out to Walmart. I went to Michaels and looked at the fancy Journals, but you can't add pages. So your videos played for a few hours for them. In the car, there is no good talk radio on on the weekends so I plugged in my phone and played your videos on youtube in my car.

Great video! I worked on my control journal this week and where I feel stumped and stressed is in the Basic Weekly Plan. Could you please do a video on that? I am wondering how many times per week I should work on decluttering/zone cleaning and still have time to meet up with friends/family.
@TheSecretSlob5 жыл бұрын
Basic weekly plan is: Monday - weekly home blessing Tuesday - plan week,pay bills Wednesday- anti procrastination Thursday- errands Friday - car and purse Weekend- family and friends. Spend 15 minutes a day on either decluttering OR zone cleaning ☺️☺️☺️ Hope that helps!
