I used to have to work 80-120 hours a WEEK because I could just never organize my life. As a single mom, I spin a LOT of plates. But I started creating binders when binders weren’t even a thing, and they seriously just changed my life forever!
Now I’m so organized (I only have to work part-time now because I’m so laser focused). I literally have a binder for everything in my shop and today, you can buy my super popular household binder!
If you’re an organization freak like me who just loves having everything all nice and tidy in one spot, this household binder printables set is for you!
The organization binder printables will organize your life in an incredible way, making sure that you can find and get to your most important information quickly. Because who doesn’t hate paper clutter? And paper clutter seems to be the #1 monster in so many homes.
This home management binder is one great way to tame your clutter. Just grab some baseball card sleeves to store your debit cards, SSN cards or coupons and print out the sheets you need to organize your life!
There are different size spine templates to fit whatever binder size you have on hand…no need to go out and buy another binder. Just use one you already have and you’re good to go.
If you do need a binder, here are the appropriate ones on Amazon:
- 1 inch binder
- 1 1/2 inch binder
- 2 inch binder
- 3 inch binder
- 4 inch binder
Being a girl who loves to print printables all day, every day, I need a printer that won’t cost me a fortune. I literally change my ink once every 2-3 months, not kidding. I’ve been through a LOT of printers and this one is, by far, my absolute favorite.
It has print, scan, fax, copy, and web features. I haven’t used the fax or web portion of it, but for everything else, it does an amazing job for sure!
For paper, I use regular copy paper, however, sometimes I’ll use the thicker cardstock-y paper. Sometimes they have it on Amazon, sometimes not, but it’s the best brand and I only use that one.
It lasts me a super long time, as I still have 1 3/4 packs left and I last bought it 2 years ago!
For dividers, I actually just use the cardstock-y paper above and put little tabs on the sides. I feel like this is the absolute cheapest way to go and I can customize it how I want.
For a hole punch, I use and love this one (the light turns green so you know you’re lined up properly!)
What Do You Put In A Household Binder?
QUICK NAVIGATION
A household binder should contain categories, sections and content that matches your exact needs for running a tight ship at home. You don’t need to include certain information or categories just because it’s generally what you’d find in a household binder. It’s a guide to help your run your home smoothly without any chaos, so it should only contain what you personally need to achieve that. Some ideas for categories you may want to include are: finance, cleaning, goals, meal planning, contacts, children, family, and health.
Be mindful of getting the balance right of how much information you really need to include. If there’s too much unnecessary information then it just becomes overwhelming and hinders the management of your home, and if it hasn’t got enough information then it isn’t going to do it’s job of helping you!
What Is A Household Binder?
A household binder is a structured and organized way to store all the details and information for your household in the one handy spot. You can have categories for each of the areas that go towards managing and maintaining a well run home, so that you can view any important information and the necessary tasks for each area. If someone needed to step in a help your household for a while, it’d be the go to place to quickly understand what it takes to keep your home running smoothly. It’s essentially your manual for a calm and chaos-free home and family life.
How Do I Make a Household Binder?
If you have spare time and would like to create your own binder, here’s what you’ll need! Naturally, the first thing you’ll need is a binder to house all your content. Next, you’ll need paper to write and organize your information into categories (or you may create it online and you’ll need paper to print it) and then dividers so that you can find each section with ease. You don’t NEED sheet protectors but they are a great investment to keep your papers safe and it also makes it easier to flick through the binder, so I’d highly recommend.
If you are short on time and would like a gorgeous ready made household binder with everything you need to manage your home like a boss, my Household Binder here is the perfect solution!
Why Have A Home Management Binder?
A home management binder is the perfect way to collate all important information and tasks into categories to keep your home and family life running like clockwork. It’s a handy place to keep all your household details, jobs and goals in the one place, so everything you need is at your fingertips. Home management binders are especially important to have in times of emergency when you need to reference information quickly.

My Favorite Pages
It’s kind of hard to choose my favorite pages of these home binder printables because they are all helpful, but I do have a few. 🙂
- Household
I really like having a printable to keep track of books I want to read and movies I want to see. I love reading, and am always hearing of books I think I really would want to read, but if I don’t write it down, I’ll forget all about it. It’s the same way with movies. Writing things down helps to reduce some of the constant brain clutter!
The yearly cleaning list is extremely helpful for reminding me of those things that need to be done regularly, like changing the furnace filter or cleaning out the gutters. All those things that help our homes run more efficiently, but can be easy to forget without a checklist.
Having a family chore chart is another necessity! Am I right!? We certainly can’t do it all as parents, and we need to teach and train our children how to do things because one day they will be out on their own.
The cleaning checklists for each room help my kids and me, remember all the items to tackle in each room as we’re cleaning, so nothing gets overlooked. I love these worksheets!
The 30 day declutter list is a wonderful way to get a quick jumpstart on reducing clutter and simplifying things around the house. It’s hard to imagine how much better your home can look and feel in just a month’s time.
- Contacts
The contact sheets may very well be one of the most important sections of the binder! When there’s an emergency, you certainly don’t want to be floundering about for numbers. And if you’re on the other end of the situation, you want to be reached quickly and efficiently to know what’s going on!
- Family
Along those same lines as having emergency numbers ready, is have a family emergency plan ready to go. Unfortunately, many people don’t even think about this until it’s too late, and they’re in a situation where they desperately wished they had been prepared.
- Goals
Do you realize how much having goals can change the direction of your life? I’ve heard it said, that if you don’t aim for anything, you’ll hit it every time. Unfortunately, that’s so true. Just think how much more you could get done in a week, a month or year, just by having a list and working towards it. Even if you get derailed at times, you’ll still probably make loads more progress than you would have without having specific goals and aiming for them!
- Health
Medical information is another item that’s super important to track, whether it’s when you saw a doctor, who you saw, what they said, what medication they prescribed, any allergic reactions you had, etc…
- Inspirational
The Bible is where I go to find encouragement and wisdom. That’s why having some of my favorite Bible verses together in the inspirational section is so valuable. When I’m struggling with something or need to be reminded of God’s love, that’s such an essential!
- Meal Planning
Even though having a weekly meal plan takes a little time upfront, it ends up saving SO MUCH TIME during the week when things can get a little crazy. I always know what’s for dinner and that I have the groceries on hand to prepare it!
Also, the freezer inventory list is super helpful because who wants to go digging around in the back or bottom of the freezer just to see what’s available?
- Special Events
I love giving gifts, so for me, the anniversaries and birthdays printable is a must-have! I can easily glance at it to remind myself of any upcoming important dates that I cannot forget! 🙂
So there you go! Get yourself more organized than you thought possible! Get your Household Binder here!

Thank you so very much Sarah for all your brilliant content!
I am new to blogging and all your advice and encouragement is much appreciated, it is really helping me 🙂
Sarah Titus says
Glad you like it!
Elizabeth says
Thank you very much; these going to be a great help!
Jamee Franklin says
Hey Sarah, is the HP inkjet printer you have linked above what you use still? Amazon doesn’t sell that one anymore, or I couldn’t find it. The link goes to a general page rather than the specific one. Thank you.
Sarah Titus says
It is, yes. I don’t buy a newer version of something unless I have to (saves money). 🙂 There is most likely a newer version of that printer for sure. I think any good printer from HP is a good way to go. I’ve tried Epson for years and had trouble with the printer heads clogging up. I use HP now and use genuine HP ink (no knock offs) and never have that problem anymore, so those would be my tips. HP good all in one printer and genuine HP ink. 🙂 With as much printables as I print, you’d think I would go through a lot of ink, but I really don’t. Not with that printer anyway. 🙂
Angela says
Sarah, I appreciated your party planner printable and used it to help prepare for my son’s 2nd birthday party. I included a mention and link to it in my blog post. I hope you will check it out.
Hana says
These are great! I start my maternity leave tomorrow (we get 1 year in Australia) so I’ll have 6 weeks before baby to get the household organised and this will help so much!
Would love something like this to help me get organised for the baby and the wedding too. Thank you for providing this you amazing person!
Rayne says
Why does it say it is free for limited time but then the email say 7 dollars?
Sarah Titus says
Absolutely Danielle. Glad you love it! 🙂
Lisa says
Thank you so much these are going to be a great help to me
Deborah says
Sarah, would you consider making your printables A5 size? I love your design and its functionality, but prefer a smaller size. If you charged for printable in sets, I’d be willing to purchase them. I’m looking for budget, fitness, bible study and meal planning printables mostly. Have a great day!
Michelle says
Thank you so much for sharing! I love them.
Sarah Titus says
Absolutely Lisa. So glad you like them. 🙂
Sarah Titus says
Glad you like them Hana. 🙂
Sarah Titus says
Absolutely understand your question, Rayne. It looks like you missed the free part. 🙂 In the email, where it says, “As promised, here’s your free Household Binder. Click here to download the free household binder.” Click there and that is 100% completely free to download. There is, at the bottom of the email, an OPTION (not required) to upgrade the binder for $7 (limited time pricing). Most people want to upgrade, but the free binder is there ready to download. 🙂
Michelle says
Thank you for sharing!
Kelli D Harris says

Sarah Titus says
Absolutely Michelle! 🙂 Glad you like them.
Dana says
Your just have to print them out at 84%.
Sarah Titus says
I think of that as being more of a planner. To be honest, I’m not quite sure if I have something like that, off the top of my head. There are several different binders and printables everywhere. I don’t happen to use the time ones, so I can’t remember. Sorry I can’t be of more help. I am updating this household binder as we speak and I’ll have to make sure those sheets get in there. 🙂
Jessica Lloyd says
I have to say thank you very much. I am one of those moms who doesn’t know the first thing about organizing anything. The printables your offer and advice is amazing and so easy, that a beginner can do it. It is also helping me in one of my college classes. Many many many thanks. I have also passed your website along to a few of my fellow moms who love it as well.
Kelli Harris says
Thank you so much, look forward to the update
Sheila says
We are currently in the process of moving into a new house and need to do some organizing. I saw your pin and figured I would try it out to help us. Especially since we have a teenage daughter. I can’t wait to get it and start using it. Thank you in advance and hope it does wonders for us.
Sarah Titus says
Thank you Jessica. So glad you guys like it and it’s truly making a difference! <3
Angelia says

Megan says
I gave my email address but I never received the email. It is not in my spam folder. Can you please send me the document
Sarah Titus says
Absolutely. Just resent it. 🙂 <3
Gloria says
I’m having the same issue as Megan did. I put in my email address and never received the email. I checked the spam folder to make sure I didn’t miss it. Could you please send it over to me as well? Thank you for designing this!
Sarah Titus says
Sorry to hear that. It’s showing it’s going through on our end. Have you made sure to check your spam and promotions folder in gmail? I’ll resend it again right now too. <3 Email in if you still don't get it after that. 🙂
Diosa says
I was able to download and print this binder just fine! I love all the things I would have never thought to pay attention to. The only 1 thing I would like to see is a page for babysitters with basic info they would need in case of an emergency and then any instructions, and household info (we live in an area where there is more than 3 major cable companies, dish and now with all the streaming services, it was nice to just have channels and that sort of thing they could find easily).
Thanks Sarah for taking time to create such a pretty way to keep all the info together!
Sarah Titus says
Glad you got it and like it. 🙂 Great idea about the babysitters info. I originally didn’t put it in because most of my audience is stay at home moms, so it’s not really needed, but I did contemplate, maybe if they go out for date night, etc. There is an Emergency Contact page in there (page #75) but not a babysitters one, you’re right.
Max says
Thank you very much Sarah! I used to live by myself and when I got married to my husband of 2 kids and moved into a bigger house, I felt overwhelmed. I am one of those people who don’t know the first thing about organizing anything and so the printables you offer and detailed instructions is amazing and so easy to use.
Sarah Titus says
Aww, that’s so awesome. YAY! I’m so glad to help you get organized. I can definitely understand the transition being difficult. That’s great you found someone too! <3 God has someone out there for me too, one day. 🙂
Kelli Bhattacharjee says
I love how vibrant and pretty your printables are, Sarah! 🙂
Sarah Titus says
Thank you. So glad you like them. 🙂 Bright colors make me HAPPPPPYYYYYY! haha.
Diane Kubes says

Sarah Titus says
So glad you like them, Aly. 🙂
Talitha Nelson says
My dad just moved in with my stepmom and now I’m managing the house with my younger siblings. Your binders, especially this one, are really helpful in helping us keep track of projects we’re working on around the house and what needs to get done. It has helped cut down on a lot of sibling conflict. Thank You!
Sarah Titus says
So glad it’s helping! That’s awesome! <3

Lindsey says
Happy New Year 2020, Sarah!! I’m Lindsey, a new fan of yours here!
Second time mom but feel like it’s the first all over again… This time I vowed to (attempt to) be more organized lol!! With your help, *maybe* that will happen 🙂
I tried signing up for your binder a few times but it hasn’t arrived in my inbox yet. Sorry if that was annoying!!!
Would it be possible to push it to me??
Sarah Titus says
Nope, not annoying at all. <3 Sorry you didn't get it. Just sent it to you again. 🙂
Rachel says
Hi Sarah,
My husband and I and our three girls are missionaries in Papua New Guinea and I have promised myself that I would become more organised in 2020! I just downloaded the household binder to help me with that goal and I’m excited about what I see!
However, there are some things on the list that I was looking forward to that I don’t have in my download. Things like the chore chart, books to read, movies to watch, debt payment tracker, kids reading log and a few others.
Was everything on the page supposed to be included in the binder download? or just some of it. Is there anyway to get the pages I was wanting?
Thanks!
Sarah Titus says
I’m not sure where you got the download copy you have, maybe it’s an older one. I used to have the “trial” size version online, so I’m thinking that may be where you got it? But to get the full size one with all the pages included, you’ll want to sign up here. I double checked and it doesn’t look like you’ve signed up yet, so when you do, you’ll receive the email with directions how to download. 🙂
Angela Yancey says
Hi Sarah! I think it would be awesome for you to open up a actual store. (Or many stores) I am sure many people would love to visit. Or maybe, just some kind of space to display your work. And also, I would love, love, love to see how your home is organized. So, pictures please. I will not show them to anyone or tell anyone if you request. (Other than maybe, my husband, or best friend. Just a couple of thought that could give you a lil inspiration (as if you might need any. Love your work and everything you do for us. Thank You! Sincerely, Angela Yancey
Sarah Titus says
Great ideas. Thank you for sharing. 🙂 I have a few pictures of my home here, here, and here on Facebook. With that said, I AM working on a course right now that is all about how I organize my home. It’s called Organize Your Whole Life Top to Bottom. It’ll be released this year, so definitely be on the lookout for it. 🙂
Shaelee says
Ooh this is so cute and so helpful! Thank you!
