Reaching Your Organizational Goals
I find that keeping organized is quintessential to bringing peace and productivity into my life. Sometimes with kids, the dog, and mom this can be tough, but after you develop a system for all the different elements in your life it can really be simple! Many of us are on the go and we need something portable. You can create your own mobile organizer with an accordion folder!
The idea is to be prepared with all the things you’ll need during the week. Consider including items like a calculator, a to-do list, coloring books or novellas for the kids, school activity schedules, and magazines to read while waiting for appointments. Have emergency contact information and important documents you might need as well.
Calendars are an essential part of organization. Having a visual schedule puts time commitments into perspective. Place a monthly calendar in the front pocket of your accordion folder and actually use it. Assign a pocket for members of your family by labeling the tabs.
You can easily take this folder from the office, to the car, to the house. These are only ideas for things you might need. Really tailor the system to your family’s organizational needs. By having a folder for each child you can keep track of permission slips, grade reports, and after school activities without the burden of loose papers and important notes scattered about your car and home.
