Daily DIY: Make a Household Planner/Notebook

What better time to set a household organization system in place than a week before the new year? According to Organized Home, "Unlike a personal planner, which is designed for use by one person, a household notebook or family organizer serves as "command central" for an entire family. While each family's organizer will be unique, most are simple three-ring notebooks with several divider sections."

Want to make your own? Tackle printing out a few page dividers from your local office supply store and organize important paperwork like bills, daily schedules, calendars, phone numbers and contact information. A few suggested starter dividers are as follows:

• Planning Divider
• Phone Divider
• Family and School Divider
• Home Management Divider
• Meals and Menus Divider
• Personal Finances Divider
• Health and Fitness Divider
• Travel and Activities Divider
