Organizing my time to organize my home

   Okay, I have a confession.  I have been doing well with my first two goals (Get financially fit and Get healthy), but I have not been doing as well with getting organized.  For some reason it seems easier to get pumped up about money and fitness.  Cleaning on the other hand is not so exciting.  It's not that I can't organize.  I'm actually pretty good at it.  I just can't seem to keep things organized.  So I sat down and thought about how I can jump start my efforts.  I realized that while I sometimes read sites like getrichslowly.com and peruse any health related article that pops up on yahoo, the only organization site I know is flylady.net.  I don't even visit that one as often as I should.  Therefore I sat out on a mission to find any other websites that might offer valuable tools for keeping organized.
  At first I found what I expected, lots of adds for the container store.  This is not exactly what I need.  After all I am trying to save money, but eventually I did manage to find something really useful.  On a website called simpleorganizedliving.com I found a post about scheduling.  I have long known that this is the key to staying organized, and have been working on finding a system that works for me.  The author spoke of her planner and how the ones she bought did not meet all of her needs, so she made her own.  At the end of the article she has a link to a free download of her finished planner.

   The planner has virtually everything I need.  I am on my fourth day of trying it out, and I love it.  It is set up as daily planning sheets.  For my organization efforts it includes a to do list, a top five to do list, a place to write appointments, a meal plan, a "to buy" list, a space for notes, and best of all a daily routine similar to the one developed by the fly lady.  It also has eight little pictures of water cups for me to keep track of how much water I'm drinking, and a spot to write down how much exercise I'm doing.
  I'm trying to come up with a fun DIY to make a little book out of it to carry in my purse.  Any suggestions?
