SETTING UP YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK SYSTEM
FOR AN EASIER, MORE EFFECTIVE LIFE
It's easy to start.
Choose which approach you will take:
The overall lifebook system notebooks: We'll set up the structure, as listed below, for the whole system, so it is available for use whenever you want. As you use each one, then you'll begin to refine the organization and fill in the pieces as needed.
This is to capture every note, idea, reflection, etc., when you cannot otherwise put it into a
specific place
Usually this is just a wirebound notebook.
BUY THE NOTEBOOKS (3 ring) (See the links box major categories and specific notebooks.)
Get very nice, functional, good looking notebooks, with a window for labeling the notebook
(2" notebooks measure 3" with a ruler)
Buy dividers that you can write on (buy 100 to start)
Buy 50 plastic sleeves (with three holes, hold 8 1/2" x 11" inch sheets, pictures)
Buy one for each of the essential notebooks (4 of the 2"; 2 of the 1 1/2")
Current Operations Notebook (1 1/2")
Current Year Plan (1 1/2")
LifePlan (2")
Reminders (Grounding) Notebook ( 2")
About Me Notebook (2")
Personal Progress Notebook (2")
Choose whether to buy these optional LifeBooks, though I recommend that you do
The visuals notebook (2" - large, as you'll be amazed at how things accumulate)
The Memories Notebook (2" also)
These are to be set up and completed as "recreation" with no hurry, just for fun
ORGANIZATION OF THE NOTEBOOKS
Simply go to each notebook and use whatever list or table of contents is provided. Of course, as you go you probably will modify it to your own preferences.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
Place the essential notebooks together for easy access
That's it for now. Just use them when you want to work on something or put something in there for reference, making a labeled divider when needed.
