I have a thing with scribbling notes and reminders. No, don't mistake me for a highly organized person, I'm not..but still I find it impossible to just stumble through life without making lists and writing down things. I had a personal diary ever since I was 11..it had fine details like how the dentist tortured me and how a bug found its way into my eye..that kind of stuff. I tried making reminders and notes on my iPad but..for some reason I was not satisfied..I wanted to WRITE them down with a PEN on a PAPER.
I was feeling rather frugal and looked around for options to make an organizer. I tried a shoe box..but it was too big for my ordinary plans for every day chores. So the next thing that came into mind was a cereal box. I had this unopened box..I cut it open on the longer side of the box.
Then,I just eye-balled a mail box sort of shape and cut it..like this.
I had this adhesive decal that I used to cover the box.
I used dividers to sort:
- Days of the Week ( 4-5 tasks a day)
- Monthly and Biweekly chores
- Passwords
- Receipts
- To Buy
- To Do
- Menu
- Extra's
Love this! I'm obsessed with organization...and all things cute :) I always carry around this ridiculous notebook full of lists and notes that is impossible to find things in, so I end up making duplicate lists over and over...thanks for sharing!
