When you’re a kid, they never tell you how many details you have to keep track of as an adult. From maintaining the home to feeding everyone in the household to managing kids and pets, it can all get a bit overwhelming. And if you’re like us, you’ll take any help you can get!

We’ve been using home management binder printables to help keep our home and life organized for more than a decade now. And we’re thrilled to be able to share these printables that have helped save our sanity with you as well.

What Is a Home Binder?

A home binder is an organized file of paperwork– often housed in a three-ring binder– that acts as central location for all of our most important details and information.

Rather than having to search around the house or in a messy filing cabinet whenever we need to access pertinent info, our home management binder organizes everything for us in one place so we can always find it quickly and easily.

Why a Home Management Binder Is Helpful

Our home management binder gives us peace of mind. We have all of our information organized and written down so we know where to find important details at all times.

A home binder can also help us plan ahead. We can stay on top of things like gift giving, meal planning, car maintenance, doctor visits, and more so we never miss an important event or checkup.

An organized home binder acts as our second brain. We don’t have to worry about remembering every single date, deadline, and detail in our heads because all of those pieces of information are conveniently stored in our binder.

Home Binder Supplies

Before we jump into the details of what’s all included in our free printable home management binder, we wanted to make sure we shared the tools and supplies we use to put together our own home binder.

Tools You’ll Need to Assemble an Organized Home Binder

Everyone’s home binder will differ based on their unique needs, phase of life, and home situation. You can feel free to use all of the printables we offer in our home management binder or pick and choose only the ones that are most helpful for you.

The sections we have in our organized home binder include the following (Click on the links in the list below to be taken directly to that section.):

Ready to take a peek at everything that’s included in our free printable home management binder? Let’s take a look!

Free Printable Binder Covers

No organized binder would be complete without a pretty printable cover… But what’s better than one pretty printable binder? Two pretty printable binders!

Our entire home binder comes in two fun color schemes– a pink and purple scheme and a blue and green scheme– so you can choose the one that best fits your home, personality, or mood! (Or change it up and use pages from both!)

Goals and Habits Printables

The first section of the organized home binder is our goals and habits section. We are big believers in setting goals because we truly believe they work, so we have provided several options for goal setting in this part of the binder.

For each binder section, we have a printable section cover so you can keep your binder neat, tidy, and organized.

Goals and Habits Section Cover Printable at freeorganizingprintables.com

Set Yearly Goals by Category

The first type of goal setting printable included in the home management binder is a yearly goal setting sheet organized by category.

We’ve included sheets with headings for many of the most common goal categories. But we’ve also given you a blank sheet where you can create your own categories as well.

Free Printable Goal Setting Sheet, Broken Down by Category

Definitely don’t feel like you have to set goals in every single category. In fact, we wouldn’t recommend it, simply because it is hard to truly focus on that many goals at once. But thinking about our goals for the year in terms of category can really help us to prioritize and focus on what’s most important.

Break Down Big Goals

The most effective way to achieve big goals is to break them down into smaller action steps. Our next goal setting printable will help you do just that!

Goal Setting Worksheet for Breaking Down Big Goals, Part of the Free Printable Home Maintenance Binder at freeorganizingprintables.com

We can’t just set a goal and hope it will work itself out. We have to have a plan for getting there. This printable helps us create a plan, set a deadline, and give ourselves some accountability so we can crush even our biggest goals!

Set Goals as a Family

Along with individual goals, the organized home binder also has sheets for creating goals as a family. We’ve tried to help get the brainstorming started by providing different categories for organizing your family goals.

Family Goal Setting Pages, Part of the Free Home Binder Printables at freeorganizingprintables.com

Again, don’t feel like you need to set goals in every area. Maybe choose one or two categories to work on t first. Then when you have completed those, choose a different category to tackle.

Free Printable Habit Tracker

Habits are incredibly effective for helping us to achieve our goals and maintain our progress long-term. This habit tracker printable can help us work on things like:

  • Drinking enough water
  • Getting enough sleep
  • Working out consistently
  • Spending time reading each day
  • Daily prayer or meditation time
  • Taking medications consistently
  • And more!

There is just something so satisfying about checking items off when we’ve completed them, so this tracking sheet can be motivating no matter what habit we’re trying to build into our day.

Daily Routines Printable

Routines are also important for helping us stay on track with our goals. Both kids and adults can use this daily routines printable to establish morning, afternoon, and evening routines. Checking off the boxes is satisfying and keeps us accountable for completing our tasks.

Free Daily Routines Printable, Part of the Home Binder at freeorganizingprintables.com

If you don’t want to print a new routines printable each week, consider laminating this page and using a wet erase marker to check off your daily tasks. Then simply erase it at the end of the week and start with a clean slate on Monday.

Events and Gifting Printables

The next section of our binder is for events and gifting! These printables will help us keep track of all of the important people and events in our lives so we’re never late with cards or gifts again.

Like every section of the home management binder, this one starts with a pretty cover page…

Events and Giving Section Cover Page, Part of the Home Management Binder at freeorganizingprintables.com

Yearly Special Events Printable

We can keep track of all of our yearly recurring events in one place with this simple birthday calendar printable. Use it to note birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and any other important days you’d like to remember.

Each month has a set of shorter lines to write the day the event occurs and then a longer line to note the name of the person or event to be celebrated on that day.

It can be tricky to keep track of all of the people in our lives for whom we want to buy birthday gifts, holiday gifts, shower gifts, and more.

Home and Car Care Printables

There is a lot of work that goes into caring for our homes and vehicles, so we wanted to make sure we included a section of the binder just for that!

Home and Car Care Binder Section Cover, Part of the Home Maintenance Binder at freeorganizingprintables.com

Along with the pretty section covers, the home and car care section includes…

Free Printable Cleaning Schedule

It can be tricky to remember what we need to clean when, so this cleaning checklist printable helps us create and stick to a set cleaning plan!

With room to map out cleaning tasks we want to complete daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually, our homes will be looking spick and span in no time!

Decluttering Checklist

Decluttering can feel overwhelming, but we’ve found that it helps to break down the project into smaller pieces. This decluttering checklist is broken down by room and then lists categories to declutter in each space. There is space in each room’s checklist to add your own categories that may be unique to your home.

Decluttering Checklist Printables, Part of the Free Home Binder at freeorganizingprintables.com

Home Maintenance Log

Along with cleaning and decluttering, there are many areas of our home that need consistent maintenance. Think: changing air filters, cleaning out the gutters, checking smoke alarms, etc.

Free Printable Home Maintenance Log, Part of the Organized Home Binder at freeorganizingprintables.com

These printables help us break down our home maintenance tasks in a few different ways. The first page helps us log items that need to be done on a recurring basis, whether that’s monthly, quarterly, twice per year, or yearly. The second page helps us keep track of more seasonal items and allows us to assign tasks on a month-by-month basis.

Feel free to use one page or both, depending on your needs!

Room Decor Information Sheet

As we work on decorating our homes, it’s helpful to have a room decor reference sheet for each space where we can note measurements, paint colors, finishes, and other details. That way when we’re shopping for new items for our space, we know exactly what size, shape, and color we need!

Room Decor Details Printable, Part of the Home Maintenance Binder of Free Printables at freeorganizingprintables.com

The top part of this printable has room to sketch out the room and list out the measurements of the space. And the bottom part has lines for listing various notes and details.

Free Printable Password Log

There is nothing more frustrating than being locked out of a website because we can’t remember our password. This password sheet eliminates that problem by keeping all of our login info in one spot. Just be sure to keep it somewhere that prying eyes won’t be able to access it.

Free Password Log Printable, Part of the Home Binder of Organizing Printables at freeorganizingprintables.com

It can be hard to remember when we last serviced our vehicles, but these vehicle maintenance log sheets can help! With a pre-filled option and a blank option to fill in yourself, it’s easy to keep track of car maintenance all in one spot. (And the next owners of your vehicle will thank you for keeping such good notes too!)

Free Printable Chore Charts

We love lists around here because they’re such a great way to keep track of everything we need to accomplish in our days! We created these chore charts with kids in mind, but we know that adults like to check items off their list too, so feel free to use them for list-makers of any age.

Free Printable Chore Charts for Kids at freeorganizingprintables.com

As with a few of the printables mentioned above, we like to laminate these and use a wet eraser to write on them so we can continue to use the same chore chart page each week.

Babysitter Information Sheet

If you’re leaving the kids with a sitter for date night or another special event, this babysitting information sheet will make sure they have all of the details they need while you’re away.

Make notes about everything from food to routines to important contact info, all on one page.

Keeping track of our health history can be helpful for seeing trends and diagnosing issues. It’s also helpful to keep a log of doctor’s visits so we can remember details and instructions that are easily forgettable after we leave the office.

Free Printable Doctor Visit Log at freeorganizingprintables.com

Again, this printable was first created with kids in mind, but it would definitely work for adults as well.

Free Printable Vaccination Record

Similarly, the vaccination record is helpful to have, particularly when we’re filling out paperwork and it’s asking for dates of last immunizations.

Free Printable Vaccination Record, Part of the Free Printable Home Maintenance Binder at freeorganizingprintables.com

This printable is in the kids section just because they’re typically getting vaccinations more often, but it could easily be used for adults too.

Pets Information Printables

Last but not least, we have a pet information section! Couldn’t forget about our furry (or feathered!) friends!

Pets Information Section Cover Page, Part of the Home Maintenance Binder of Free Printables at freeorganizingprintables.com

Home Management Binder: Final Thoughts

We hope this organized home binder will be helpful for you as you work to streamline your home and life!

Home Management Binder: Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on how many pages you decide to use, a 1″ to 1.5″ binder usually works well to house all of the home binder pages.

We recommend using tab dividers to separate your binder into sections. A label maker can be useful for labeling each of the tabs so you can quickly flip to the section you’re looking for. We also like to use the provided cover pages at the front of each section to provide clarity and separation.

Creating home management systems helps to organize our home and make our days run more smoothly. We are less forgetful, more punctual, and can plan ahead for important events, making us feel less stressed.

Home management also helps us keep track important details, allowing us to accomplish our own goals as well as support friends and family members more easily.
