OLD FASHION PLANNING

I am going to sound a bit old fashioned, but this works so well for me, I thought it might help someone else.  All you need is:

Just a simple 1" Binder, Dividers, and Lined Paper.  In addition I purchased;

Which does have 50 sheets, will probably last the next 10 years!

K so I organize this binder.  My tabs say;

**Finances**

This is where I write any income, also money spent, bills, and budget plans

**Menu/Grocery List**

In this section I keep track of Grocery Lists, Menu ideas, and  Recipes

**Chores and Allowance**

Here is where I keep the info for chores.  A list of chores and amount for each chore, then I have a list of each child and their chores completed.  At the end of the week I pay out and highlight when they are paid.

**School Info**

This is for Progress reports, special tests or articles that are helpful for subjects they need help in.

**To Do**

This is the never ending TO DO list.  Like; 

Car needs new tires, belts changed

House:  New paint in bathroom, front room flooring

Just things I would like to do this year, but are not EMERGENCIES

So this is VERY old fashion but everyone knows wherever I am the binder is not to far.  It does remain at home, but there are 2 or 3 places I keep it.  It is amazing to see things written out and keep to the goals.
