Welcome to the Thoroughly Organized Thursday Meme!  I hope you are having a good week.  

My organizing tip for today:

Color coordinate your calendar.  Now the normal way of doing this did not work for me.  Most books tell you to use a different color for each member of the family.  Well my problem was most of our activities involved more than one member of the family, such as, if we are going to co-op, which kid's color  was I suppose to use.  It just didn't work for us.  What I did find that worked when I had a REALLY active schedule (such as almost everyday filled and some days multiple activities) was to color coordinate the TYPE of activities such as red= doctors, purple= homeschool, blue= sports, green= church and black= misc.  This worked so much better for us and this way I didn't miss crucial doctor appointments because they stood out in red.

I am still working on my Household Binder (lol!!! aren't I always???), but I wanted to mention this again :

That is a good tip. I don't think I've heard of that one before. But the way you use it is the way we would have to. Too many things over lap with all of us. :)

That is a great tip. I try to write certain things in certain colors, like birthdays are in red. I have one of Flylady's calendars. I love it!

We use to do this! It really helped. I really need to redo our family calendar on the fridg. Maybe this year we will go back to color coding. It also needs to be so much bigger! Great idea.
