Need help getting your information organized? Here’s a list that’s sure to help!
- Go to ListPlanIt.com.
- Browse through the hundreds of lists by topic or search for a list more specifically. Once you’ve found one that sounds like you’d like to use, click on the link. All lists are in the Adobe PDF format, so you will need the Adobe Reader to see them. Click here or on the button at the bottom of this page to download a free version of Adobe Reader if you do not already have it.
- If you have chosen the Print Membership, you will be able to print any page you like, whenever you like. If the Download Membership is more appealing, then nearly every list has fillable fields so that you can just type in your own personal information. You may want to type it in if you a) want a more professional look, b) love uniformity, c) find typing easier to do, d) feel your handwriting isn’t quite as neat as you’d like.
- Print each list you think would be useful to your life or to the lives of your loved ones.
**tip: if you don’t want to use your color ink on the logo for each page, then go to File in the Toolbar above. Then click on Print. You should find something that says “Print in Black & White” and click on that. - Go to the Binder Template (Life, Memories, Business, Kitchen, Finance). Print on either a regular 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper for a binder with a clear sleeve or on adhesive backed paper to stick on the front of a regular 3-ring binder.
- Cut the sheet on the solid line. Apply the large piece to the front of the binder and the long thin piece to the spine of the binder.
- Hole punch your printed lists.
- You will probably want to use tabbed dividers (divider with folders would be best) to separate the topics of your Manual. Follow the instructions for making the tabs. A great tool for creating front and back pages is a page protector.
- Use the heading of each list to help you put it into the correct section of your binder.
- Now get busy using those lists! Keep them in a convenient spot so they are always ready to be used.
- You can also add school lunch menus, takeout menus, library storytime calendars, brochures from local contractors—whatever will make your life easier!!
