Wouldn't it be nice to have all of your important information in one place? Imagine not having to search to find information regarding insurance, a medical issue from years ago, kids immunization records, the contact information for a plumber, etc.Well I found the answer when I found this binder called Life doc, and I can't wait to put it to use!! It has lots of tabs already labeled. Behind each tab there is a pocket folder and forms to fill in information.
Here is the front of the binder...
Emergency plan- it has places to fill in information like who has keys to your home, meeting locations in case of emergencies, emergency contact information, etc
Family Basics- which has places to fill in personal info about each family member
In Sickness & in Health- behind this tab there are forms for each member of the family and it has you fill in medical information including doctors, surgeries, allergies, medications, immunizations, etc
***What's great about this is having all of this information together and organized makes it super simple to keep your doctors updated, when going to a new doctor or having surgery. As a nurse I can tell you it is really important for patients to be aware of their medications, dosages, allergies, & past medical history.
Insurance- having all insurance companies, policy numbers and contact numbers all in one place makes it simple if you need to call in a claim. Usually when you need that information is when you don't have the time to search though files or piles to find it :)
Dollars & Sense- All of your financial information all in one place- banks, credit cards, mortgage, etc. So if your purse or wallet would get stolen or lost you have all of that information handy. You could easily call and let credit card companies and banks know to cancel cards and be on the look out for someone trying to use your account! Being able to quickly call and do this could save you a lot of money and stress!!
Legal Ease- Lawyers, wills, power of attorney information all that kind of info
Caregiver information- so this has a place to put all the information that a babysitter would need while you were away, emergency authorization forms- to give someone else permission to seek medical attention for your child if you were not home, & elder care- for other people that you may help take care of- like parents or grandparents
Home Sweet Home- for all of your home information- handyman, yard person,plumber, utility info, etc
I found this binder at Target, but they also have a website you can view by clicking
here. Has anyone used this product? What other ways have worked for you to keep all this important information together?
