My 2006 Control Journal

This is the cover.

I have 5 tabs: Phone Numbers, Daily Routine, Zones, FlyLady Basics, and Take-out/Delivery. The Phone Numbers section has one page in a clear sheet protector. The page includes our phone number and address, along with directions to our house. It has emergency numbers, and phone numbers for friends, family, and neighbors. It has medical numbers, including all area hospitals and the local pharmacy, and it has numbers for the library, water department, and electric company. I have another copy of the page next to our phone in the kitchen.

In the front pocket of the binder, I have a master grocery list where I just mark the box next to the product and list the number needed. I have the catagories aranged like the grocery store aisles. I have blanks in each catagory for write-in items.

The second section of my control journal has a Before Bed Routine, a Morning Routine, an Afternoon Routine, a Weekly Plan, and a Home Blessing Hour Routine.

In the third section, Zones, I have a map of my house divided into 5 areas. Each week is to be spent detail cleaning a different area.

The fourth section, FlyLady Basics, has How to Declutter, Declutter 15 Minutes a Day, FlyLady's Eleven Commandments, and FlyLady's 11 Points to Preparedness for Evacuation.

The fifth section has local take-out and delivery menus.

After my fifth section, I have five plastic tabbed folders. They are marked "Read," "Call," "Mail," "File," and "Coupons." I sort papers that come into the house into the appropriate folder to deal with on Office Day (Thursdays).
