Introducing my organiser

April 27, 2007 by Kate Davis 2 Comments

My organiserOkay, I’ve gone on now for four posts describing how my organiser came into being, but have not yet described what it consists of. That is going to change now as I work through each section and explain what works and what still needs some attention. I’m afraid its not a great photograph, but you can see my organiser in another picture in a previous post.

Moraine Lake

As I’ve mentioned previously my organiser is based in an A5 ring binder. When I bought it the shop only had the one choice, frosted clear plastic. After using it a few weeks I decided to personalise it but sticking a photograph to the inside cover didn’t work as the glue wouldn’t stick the paper and plastic together. I thought it would be nice to change the photograph so I tried a cut down plastic document pocket and using the same glue as before the pocket has not come off. I currently have a picture of Moraine Lake taken on our honeymoon to Canada, but I think I should change this soon to something more suitable for summer.

In front of the dividers I have a flat hole punch, a ruler, plastic pocket and two sheets for my inboxes, one for work and one for home. I then have ten dividers

  3. ASAP
  4. Waiting for
  5. Agendas
  6. Projects
  7. Specific Lists
  8. Someday / Maybe
  9. Reference
  10. Spare paper

As you can see it follows the Getting Things Done structure fairly well, but there are some quirks within a few of the sections. I think I’ve got the first four sections working well, but I’m not so good at the last six yet, as I’m sure you’ll see.

About Kate Davis

I'm a working mum of two children, and I'm keen to make the most of what is important to me. This starts by capturing information whether it is a photograph or a task list. I love a process and try to find the most efficient method of doing things from organising photographs to planning a house renovation. I believe everything benefits from being simpler.

Welcome

I'm a working mum of two children, and I believe everything benefits from being simpler. Although I'm not as good as I'd like at achieving simplification. I often get caught up on writing lists or planning the most efficient method of achieving things instead. Read More…
