I must admit that I love being organised and writing lists, but as a mum of two very busy young boys this isn’t always possible, especially with my business. I was finding that I had dozens of little notes to myself on post-it notes, in notebooks and in my diary.

Recently I was introduced to The Organised Housewife Small Business Organiser and I am in L.O.V.E.

This simple planner comes as a PDF document that allows you to print the whole planner or just those sections you wish to use. I am finding it so much easier keeping everything in the one place and it saves me so much time in trying to find where I wrote that note or saved that email address. There were also sections in the planner for information that I wasn’t already recording but am now finding to be very useful. Using the planner for my business has certainly given me more time to spend with my kids as I am so much more organised.

The different sections contained within the planner are:

- Calendars
- Planners – daily, weekly and annual
- Goals – short and long term
- To-do Lists
- Statistics – website statistics and sales data
- Advertising – list advertising and record rate and traffic info
- Products – wish lists and tracking stock orders
- Product Reviews and Giveaways
- Blog
- Expos and Markets
- Extras – password register, companies to contact, website maintenance log
- Procedures Manual
- Address Book

As so many mums are now working from home, I know that many of you will either have your own small business or know someone who does. Because of this, I thought I would share with all this fabulous resource that I have been using.

The Organised Housewife Small Business Organiser can be purchased online here for just $19.95.
