My most helpful organizational tool (when I use it!) is a tack board with picture frames above it – I filled the frames with pretty paper and use them as a dry erase board to keep track of the day’s most important tasks, less urgent tasks, and a thought for the day to keep me grounded. At the end of the day it is so rewarding to wipe it all clean 🙂

My most useful tool is the lists I made to keep track of our money. I can look at them and know where the money in our account is going instead of guessing.
I keep a running to do list on the fridge where I can easily jot things down when I think of them and cross them off when they’re complete. It’s pretty simple but better than nothing.

I need a lot of help with organization. I don’t think there’s one tool that keeps me on top of things, unless it’s Google calendar. I try really hard, but fail over and over.

I am a compulsive list-maker, and many of those lists fit into a day planner that my mother-in-law sends me every year from Japan. It has a lot of space to write on each day, and plenty of blank pages in the back where I keep seasonal lists, present lists, goal lists . . . . Now, if only I had room there for my shopping lists, too, which end up spread all over the house.
Oh, how I LOVE lists, but I’d have to say that my biggest organizational tool is Google Calendar. Now, if only I had a smartphone…
calendar, would be lost without it! After a move though, I definitely need more help!

I use lists all the time. I tend to like writing them down on paper (except that I hate using paper for things). Lately I’ve downloaded a checklist onto my desktop that I use. The great thing is I can put it on my desktop multiple times so I can have a cleaning list for when my parents are coming to town, a fix-it list of items that my husband needs to finish before they get into town, and others as needed.
Using lists for everything! But also my calendar!

A daily calendar/monthly calendar are the tools which help me to keep everything semi-organized. At the moment, I don’t have one that I use in particular so this would be ideal to win. Thanks!
I have a giant wall planner in my kitchen that has my monthly schedule with items color coded by child or type of activity. It also has a magnetic board and a cork board. I love it, it’s in a central location and near the door I leave from so I can see it when I am walking out and make sure I am not forgetting anything!
