How To Organize With Binders
Do you have piles of paperwork precariously strewn about your home that are begging for their very own space? A space that you will know to go to when the need arises for that one sheet of paper? A place that paper will be recognized for the value it holds? Let me introduce to you How To Organize With Binders!
Imagine this … you need a particular piece of paper and you don’t have to dig through a file cabinet or box to find it because it is right where you can easily find it … in the appropriate binder.
When you organize with binders, every piece of paper has a place. A place where it can easily be found and used!
You don’t need anything fancy to create your own binder system. Binders, dividers, and a three-hole punch will do.
If you want to take your binder organization one step further, you can purchase printables to put your binders over the top!
Either way, check out the binders I’ve created and be inspired to organize your own paper life with binders!

Medical Binder
I’ve been organizing with binders for many years now. It started when my health required me to pay attention and track my own medical documents. A less cool version of the Medical Binder was formed. Thankfully, you get the sweet, refined version of the Medical Binder!
Say goodbye to digging through piles of medical information in order to find trends in your medical history. Get organized, once and for all, with a Medical Binder and Medical Binder Printables!
We have a Medical Binder for each person in our family. They are quite handy and help us take charge of our health!
I no longer have to solely rely on doctors to keep my important medical files because I’ve got my own hard copies organized in my Medical Binder.
Big Book Of Everything For Teens
The kids had important papers that needed a home of their own. A spot where we could easily find the information we needed when filling out forms, adding them to our vehicle insurance, and gasp! filling out the FAFSA and college applications. There’s no more digging around looking for stuff because we have what we need in their Big Book Of Everything!
This is the binder your teens need to put the things they can’t bear to part with; like that driver’s permit she no longer needs because she passed the test and has the real deal now or those ASB cards from years past.
It is also a fantastic place for your teenagers to keep their own passwords! Those little pieces of scrap paper aren’t doing the job and your teens end up frustrated and start new accounts everywhere. Is that just us?
But that’s not all! Employment, School, and Vehicle printables will help teenagers organize pertinent information.
The Big Book of Everything for Teens empowers your teenagers with the information they need at their fingertips!
Can I just say how nice it is to have a binder to put all of your kids stuff in? These things get used a LOT!
Pet Binder
When TeddiBear came along, he needed his very own Pet Binder to record his vaccinations, vet appointments, and important information. We also use the Pet Binder to keep receipts for his vet visits, important documents like his AVID microchip #, and his pet sitter information sheet. It’s kind of like a Medical Binder and Big Book Of Everything all in one … for pets. If it’s paperwork and it has to do with TeddiBear, we know right where to find it!
Your pets mean the world to you and they deserve a binder just for them!
Organize your pets’ records in one binder and never have to search for their paperwork again!

Budget Binder
I’m kind of a nerd when it comes to our family finances. I actually enjoy the process of paying bills and figuring out our financial puzzle pieces. So … I decided to share all of my nerdiness with you in the form of a Budget Binder!
