Have you ever lost track of your appointments? Or the telephone number of an important business contact? Then the binder is for you. Unknown to a lot of people, a binder can serve many purposes, most of which are for us to organize our daily lives.

Students carry them around, writing notes and scribbling lessons during their classes. Businessmen use them to keep track of their appointments and organize their business contacts. Ah, the things that we can do with our binders are endless.

If you are a mother of four teenagers, it may be difficult to track each of them, given their erratic schedules. So you better keep a binder for the whole family. You can use a large notebook and subdivide it to different sections. Assign the first section to appointments. Is there a football game you are supposed to watch? Or a PTA meeting you need to attend? Or a dental appointment you have to keep? Write them down on your family binder.

Next, assign a small appointment calendar for each of the family members. This way, you can see where your boy or girl hangs around. Another section could be devoted to important dates such as birthdates, anniversaries, and other holidays. Lastly, keep a list of important telephone numbers. Write down the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of your children
