So I created one for me that would help me organize work & home, all in one place, along with a "Hot List" of the stuff that absolutely needs to be finished that day. It looks a little something like this:
Here comes the best part for a cheap skate like me. I found a terrific deal at Blurb.com. Blurb is a book publishing company, but they also print smaller quantities, including photo books and this new notebook product. The pages are perfect for writing on, and the lines are already provided. I used design software to make my book, but Blurb provides a great download to create your books on as well. The best part- my book was free! It was only going to be around $22, but a quick internet search located the coupon code HOWDESIGN2011 for a free book for new members! A free book full of organizational goodness? Yes please!
I could design the front and back covers too, so I thought I'd give myself a daily reminder:
(For those of you wondering, I work in an office where this type of candor and sarcasm is embraced, and swearing is appreciated. This totally fits in) |
And I found a great quote on Pinterest to put on the back which I think fits my life perfectly, and is a great reminder:
I'm not sure if the code is still good, but if it is, I highly recommend you go visit Blurb and make a book of your own. If not a notebook like I did, it would work for a photo book too. I've spent a couple days with my book now, and I already feel more put together. At least I know I'm getting a good amount of water each day.
**Note: I am not being sponsored or compensated by Blurb.com in any way. I just found their product, (and the amazing coupon code) and wanted to share it with you all. Don't say I never did anything for you.
AMAZING IDEA! My mom just had a few notebooks bound for me with cute covers that she made out of Twinkie boxes and Cheerios boxes. I think she said it was like $5 for Kinkos to bind a book for you. I love your idea though to custom design your own organization sheet/checklist :)
ReplyDeleteMy OCD is glowing in excitement! Such wonderful possibilities!
We've used them before for a photo book. I, for one, am pretty impressed by all you do.
