Creating Your Own Life-Organizing System..."My Brain"


To begin creating your very own life-organizing system, you will need a few things:


  • Three-ring binder

  • Three-hole punch (made for keeping in a three-ring binder)

  • Clear plastic protector sheets (optional, but handy!)

  • Divider sheets with tabs (preferably transparent)

  • Folders


    Your brain will consist of a three-ring binder which is divided into sections for each area of your life! Each section should include the printable section divider (which is in the form of a graphic below...click the image and it will open the pdf file), all of the printable forms listed under each section, and the greatest part...you can three-hole punch ANY documents, ads, coupons, etc that you want to add to each section.


    To print the dividers and sheets below, you will need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer. This is a free program that you can download from www.adobe.com . As you click on each image below, your Adobe Reader will open the file and you will need to click on the image of the printer to print each sheet. You also have the option of saving the file to your computer which makes life easier...as you need a refill sheet you can simply print another one from your computer. If you would like to have all of your documents on one disk, you can also purchase the "My Brain" CD.

    The folders can be used to store things that aren't able to be three-hole punched (CD's, stamps, greeting cards, etc.) and are very useful. You may also add a zipper pocket into your binder which can hold your pens, post-it's, etc.



    So, begin your journey by clicking on the image to the right to print the title page for your life-organizer (this can be slipped into the transparent plastic cover of a three-ring binder). Each worksheet is 8.5" x 11" in size, prints in black & white and is designed to use the least amount of ink possible. Happy "Brain" making to you!
