Organization: Work/Ministry Organization Binder

Hey Guys!!

I hope you are all having a great week! Today I've decided to show you and tell you about my Organizational Binder that I use for Work/Ministry. I have a lot of diffrent things that i'm involved in, so over time I was getting SO overwelmed on how to keep everything that I needed to do each week organized. I tried EVERY planner, agenda, palm piolet (totally old school :P), Blackberry planner etc. (the list really does go on...hahaha). I have finally found that this is what works for me, it took a long time to created it and change it along the way. So here it is:

So to start with I have these AMAZING printables that I use...I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! It's called "A peek at the Week" and then the time schedule SO good!! So, for the "Peek at the Week" I always print off the amount I will need for each month. I write the "Dates/Numbers" on each of the "weekdays" and then the fill in the "week of:" part. I do all this at the begining of the month. Then it's always ready to go when some one calls to schedule an apt. or organize a meeting etc. For the "to do" section I only write the most pressing/important tasks that I need to do in the week...NOT everything. I have other pages for that which I will get to. In the "to eat" section I will usually write in what i'm going to pack for lunch each day (I do this on Mondays, it's my day off and also my shopping day). In the "to buy" section I use that to write things that I need to get for Program's ASAP...the other shopping stuff goes in another section. These two pages you can find at www.iheartorganizing.blogspot.com <-- Amazing website guys!!

 

Then on to the tabs! I have coloured coded each program/area I am responisble for and have created a tab for each one. Behind each tab is the same thing for that specific area. (ie. ConnXion is pink)

 So, what's behind each tab....well here you go!! :P I have 3 sections under each tab that I divide with a coloured cardstock page. I took a picture of "The Wave" seciton. (on a side note, "The Wave" is the Sunday Morning Preteen Program that I do) so this is what I'll show you. I have 1st - a "To Do List" for that week as you can see on the top the circle it's in is Blue, that is the color I chose for "The Wave" area. 2nd - "Meeting Notes" this is where I will write down EVERYTHING when I have a meeting with ANYONE regarding that area. 3rd - "Shopping Lists" this is where I write down EVERYTHING that I need to get for that program/area for that week. There are no printables for these, I created them my self using "Word" and "Publisher"...they we're super easy to make.

Then lastly, I have a basic calendar. This is where I write the specific events going on...for example when "ConnXion" is "on" or "off" each week or  for "The Wave". I also, always include what the theme is for that week or promo. These printables came from: www.TheTomKatStudio.com and Red Stamp <--this one I just googled! :P (I love google)

And....So....this is it!! My Work/Ministry Organizational Binder!!! :)
