Binder covers are one of my favorite ways to keep my binders organized. If you are like me and you have many different binders for many different items (i.e recipe, bills, etc.) then you may like printable binder covers that allow you to color coordinate. However, you may also enjoy the creativity that coloring gives you and therefore a coloring binder is a great way to add your own spin to your binder cover and give you the relaxing benefit of coloring.

How to use your binder cover to help organize your life
Another thing I enjoy about using binder covers is, they are a great way to help me get organized in a way that doesn’t break my bank. Below are a few tips that have helped me achieve my expensive organizational system.
1. Use your binder covers – what good are they if you do not put them to use right?
2. Create a list of the things you need to store into your binders so you can break them down into subjects (i.e. recipes, legal, business, Christmas, bills, etc).
3. You will then use binder tabs, or dividers to create those sections or subjects. You can create binder spines to match your subjects. For instance, my FREE coloring binder below includes matching spines.
Now you have a binder organization system that is neat and organized and will take a lot of stress out of your time management.
