Does anyone else like to write things down besides me?? With the digital way of doing things these days I feel like I'm behind the times because I like to write down my to do list. I like to write out my notes from my bible study, and keep track of everything using the good ole' pen and paper. I have tried using the apps that help you keep lists and all that fancy stuff. I do use my calendar on my cell phone, mainly because it makes a little noise to remind me I need to move my butt. Other than that I have to make lists. A while back I was in a bible study group and the leader gave each of us a cute little binder too track everything we were doing in the study. I think it was a Proverbs 31 Woman study of some sort and I loved the binder although it was kinda hanging out on my shelf for the last 5+ years. Unfortunately the group dwindled when families moved away due to the requirements of the military. I live in an area that is close to a military base so some friendships are short lived. Anyway... I digress, I pulled that little binder out the other day when I decided to start getting my finances in order. You know what I mean, get some of this debt paid off and get back on track with life in general. It is perfect for keeping in my purse because it is half the size of the normal binder and I love it. Only downfall is any printable pages I have found are full size so I set up some of my own for my mini binder. I wanted to share them with you as a printable file so that if anyone else has a mini binder they can print some pages too. I'll be working on more soon just wanted to share what I have created so far. I know most people don't have a mini binder on hand so below are a few options to choose from if you want to order one for yourself. The first is a basic mini binder with a see thru window cover to put your own little page in like I did on mine. The second is a little fancier with a pretty design and a pen holder too. Now if you like to go completely custom, the last on is on zazzle and you can upload your own artwork for the covers and spine! I may need to upgrade in the future myself. I like to be artistic. Just to let you know, I am not affiliated with any of these vendors and they aren't paying me to be on my page, I just wanted to offer you some quick options for mini binders if you wanted one. Now below I'm going to include pdf files for you to print some pages for them. Each file has two pages (a front and a back) so that you can print multiples of the front and then reload your pages so that the other side can have the correct layout when you punch holes for the binder. I hate it when I punch holes and I loose letters in my information. One of the pages I made up is a fancy meal planner, set up for a week per page. I try to grocery shop once a week so I figured it would be easier that way. I live fairly close to the store and also work near stores so if I forget anything I can stop and get it but not everyone has that luxury, hence the shopping list and meals on the same page. Like I said I carry my binder in my purse so I always have my list on hand. The second page is a simple "Debt Account" page that is set up for a single bill. I did this for myself so that I can track my progress in paying off my debts. I also used the notes lines to keep track of what part of my payment goes to interest so that I know actually how much is really coming off the bill. Don't forget that because it won't calculate correctly if you do. You should be able to just click on the files below and download them. They print with two pages per regular sheet of letter sized paper. I also included image files for you to see what they look like.
I think that about covers everything on this project this far. I'll add more files/updates when I come up with them. Comment or message me your thoughts and suggestions. I would love to design something useful for you!
