Today's Goal: Create a Household Resource Folder
A physical (or digital) book or file that stores information about day-to-day life in your household. Create printables and checklists to keep on track. Some items below may be more suitable stored in various parts of your home i.e. filing away bills/home maintenance, chores on the refrigerator, etc. Some of these charts may already be ready for placing into a household folder, others will be added at later stages as areas are decluttered and routines/checklists are created.
"Last year I bought a planner, but found I didn't use some parts of the page, and so I designed my own one this year. I use a ring binder (file) to assemble my day-to-a-page planner, so I have incorporated a few extra pages for my household resources - including birthdays, rubbish/recycling days, after school sports, budgeting, menu planning, etc. Other checklists/charts will be placed into various areas of the house i.e. behaviour charts and chore lists for our children will be in the kitchen area and cleaning schedules in the laundry. There is quite a few on the lists below that I have yet to complete over the rest of the year but I am focusing on the daily planner to begin with, and the routine charts for my children, and will add other pages as further missions are undertaken" -Megan
