My Home Management Binder

So where do I keep all this information that I have shared with you. Well, I didn't care for the name "Control Journal", I preferred the name Home Management Binder. It's a huge binder where I keep all my most important information, which includes...

My Calender

My Routines and Schedule

My Basic Weekly Plan

My Zones and Detailed Cleaning Lists

Menu Plans with Grocery Lists(still working on this one)

Finances(This is where I keep track of financial goals and reminders)

Children(This is where I keep track of things I want to remember about my kids, something funny they said or did, the kids chores, and also where I keep track of doctor's visits, and more recently where I've started putting homeschooling info)

Recipes( Actually, this section got so big, it got it's own binder. I keep not only my favorite recipes off of the internet in there and other favorites, but also all the recipes I use to make homemade cleaners and laundry detergent. It stays in my kitchen)

Family and Friends (This is where I keep my list of gift ideas for different people)

Special Projects( I keep my list of projects to complete here)

Personal Section (I keep a list of personal goals here, weight loss, spiritual, etc.)

Important Phone Numbers

That's about all of the sections I keep in my home management binder. I do have other binders I keep for special things such as my recipe binder, a holiday binder, my big financial binder, where I keep more info on things such as loans, payoffs, etc. Something I am currently working on is making my children their own binder with things like their routines, their bedroom zones, special chores, personal section, etc. More on that later.

I've been thinking lately about the need to make one up as well. The Franklin Covey planner I have just doesn't work very well for homekeeping and homeschooling.
