WOW! I thought that they way that I had my binder set up was perfect for my couponing needs. Tonight as I was going through it and pulling coupons for my grocery shop this week I was like...this isn't working. I think my binder might be too small. For those of you that have seen it I know you all just said NO WAY! So I am in the process of reorganizing my binder.
The first step that I actually did a few weeks ago was to add a page protector behind each section for clipped coupons that I haven't or will not file. Some of my sections have baseball card inserts with all of the coupons sorted out and others don't. So now behind each divider I have two page protectors..one for clipped insert coupons and one for printed. I have found that it is really really hard to get printed coupons in the BB card holder so I clip them (well not all of them I would be cutting for days) and keep them in the page protector.
The next thing that I plan on doing this weekend when I have more time is to look at some of my sections and either break them down into smaller sections within that section or add dividers and create new categories. I am not really sure which way I will go...I have to think on it some more.
The main thing to keep in mind when you are starting a binder is to set it up so that it works for you. After all you are the one that is using it!!!
Happy ORGANIZING!!!
