I Want A Household Planner Binder

....or whatever the heck they're called.

But, you see, it's just spouse and me. We don't have children, and we don't have a ton of stuff going on. So I'm not sure what I'd put in my binder. If I did have a binder, it would be very small.

I've drafted a weekly "Calendar Page" that I planned to use to keep me from being a couch potato every night. But just as I made that plan, studying for the CHT TOOK OVER MY LIFE and I spent every night studying for at least 2 hours, leaving about 2 hours to eat and read a little bit of a novel just to keep my sanity..barely.

So, for anyone out there who's only married without children, or even single, here's some ideas for things in my "Life Planner."

First, I listed out things I wanted to be sure I did every day, or certain days per week. For example, every day I want to do some Bible study and read a bit of a novel. Once per week, I'd like to do laundry, work on crafts/Christmas projects, grocery shop (ACK!), do my guitar lesson DVD, etc. Then I listed stuff for once a month, 2x per week, every other week, etc. This would help if I wanted to schedule out months at a time and make each page specific for that week.

Then, I'd choose days I wanted to do which tasks on what days (Sims 2 on Fridays, Church online Sundays, etc). Then it's all set! My whole month is planned out a week at a time on each page. I put the 4 pages in a Report Cover and that's it! It's not quite a binder, but it's perfect for me.

On the back of my page, I threw together a food log and exercise journal. However, since I'm incorporating classes at the gym, those will be on specific days.

Just wanted to throw some ideas out there for people who aren't quite ready or equipped for a serious Household Management Binder. But those things are so hardcore and intriguing it almost makes me want to have kids so I can make one!

..or not.
