Oh, I’m glad you are going to let us have your lists, Veronica. I do have a list of things to take when traveling. I started it years ago when I would drive my kids up the coast to see the grandparents. When I married again, my husband and I used to drive up the coast for the weekend, or go across the United States, flying or driving, to visit his kinfolk. I had a very simple list at first, but then I would add or re-arrange the list according to what I needed and didn’t take, or what I had taken, but didn’t need. The lists were so helpful the next time we traveled. My husband passed away 5 years ago — as have many of the relatives by now. I’m freeway phobic, and am most happy to just stay home. I’m glad you’re going to let us have your lists to keep our homes organized. I’ve tried but I’m just naturally messy, tho I used to be organized! Barbara

I have seen several lists of things–where the list can be used with a markable cover sheet. There is also a very old book called “The, (or A) Book of Lists” It may be out of date, but contains many lists that come in handy. I would look for a list of items needed for packing. If you could come up with such a list, I’d appreciate it. I know that list was in the book. I’d appreciate any help.

Noreen,

I hear you. Whether you are single, married, with or without children…I truly believe people need an organized system. It is how businesses work and if our personal lives had a system, there would be a lot less stress and a sense of being overwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong..I don’t think everything in life needs to have total structure. If it wasn’t for having an organized system during the week, I would not have my weekend free to do as I please. My weekends have no structure and that’s they way I like it.

Get yourself a routine going with every day of the week planned out and it will make a big difference in your life.

Since I noticed an interest in these ready-made templates,I will tweak the templates that I use in my notebook and make a copy available for anyone to purchase.I’ll also include other templates that I don’t use in my binder but that are helpful to some people.I promise to make it both very affordable and useful!

I’ll even let you know what I fill in on these templates to get my tasks done! I have literally freed up my weekends just by having an organized system.

I’ll send out an email letting you know when I have it all ready for you.

Veronica, I too would be interested in purchasing a organized binder system. If you ever sell them please let me know.

Thank you kindly,

You know I love this concept…however as a single woman, working and taking care of my house while trying to have a social life, I find it difficult to maintain any schedule or routine for chores.

Food gets left in the fridge and not cooked if I spend the night at my friend’s and then go out the following evening. Needless to say, menu planning is often impossible.

Laundry almost never gets done! I have given up on the idea of starting a load and then throwing it in the dryer at night. because a couple of times I didnt get home till the following evening and it was smellllllyyyyy!

I am at a loss to have a flexible schedule and have a life without chaos.

Veronica, I’m with Barbara! Would you ever put your binder out there to purchase? I would love to get as organized. I could probably find a dozen friends who would also love one…what a great way to start a new year!
