Today is Dave’s birthday (he’s 31 — which is much older than me!) so in honor his birthday, I’m sharing one of HIS favorite organizing tools.

First of all, I do know that I’m extremely lucky to have a very clean, neat, and organized husband. And even though I take some of the credit for helping him to be more organized… I will also admit that he’s been neat and organized from the day I met him.

He’s actually so organized that he makes his own planner every year to use for school, coaching, and all his many other activities (looks like we are both quite particular about our planners!)

This summer, as he was preparing to head back to school, I got a package in the mail with a few Duo 7-Pocket Accordion File Binders.  I was immediately intrigued by the binders because they were essentially two organizing tools in one compact unit.

I showed Dave (who was equally impressed) and the next thing I knew, he had “stolen” the Duo binders from my side of the desk and proceeded to fill them with his homemade planner, school papers, student council information, coaching plans, etc.

My new organizing tools were gone — and I wasn’t going to get them back!

Thankfully I explained that my husband was hogging our Duo’s… and they sent me another one for an important project I’m working on — I’m planning to share more about this after the New Year.

See how full my Duo is already!

This multitasking tool is a fabulous way to manage all of your papers, projects, ideas, and more.

Binder Features:

  • 7-Pocket Accordion File with customizable tabs
  • Sized to fit papers up to 8.5″ x 11″
  • 1-inch 3-Ring Binder
  • Elastic bands hold the binder and accordion file closed

Here are just a few ideas of what you could use your Duo for…

  • Recipes and menu plans
  • Home improvement information (paint swatches, ideas, invoices, receipts)
  • Class materials for teachers, students, and parents
  • Holiday gift ideas and receipts
  • Travel itineraries
  • Photos
  • Coupons and shopping lists
  • Tax documents
  • Kid’s artwork, school projects, report cards, etc.
  • and SOOO much more!

Dave and I use our binders every single day — and there aren’t many organizing products I can say that about. Plus, the DUO retails for around $15, so I’m thinking it might just be the perfect little add-on for a bunch of people on your Christmas list this year!

    I would use the DUO binder as a way to better organize all the stray papers on my kitchen counter that I am constantly referring back to.

  10. Alisha says

    I would love it for my budgeting and meal planning. I could keep everything together this way!

  12. Lisa K says

    Theses look great! I can think of many uses, including organizing the kids’ school papers or organizing my project ideas!

  14. Joselyn says

    I would use the Duo binder for my meal planning and keeping track of the cash budget I
    am getting ready to start!!

  18. Betsy Jones says

    I would use this to organize the work I’m doing for our elementary school’s silent auction. It would be great to keep track of donations requested and received!

  20. Lisa says

    I would use this for my household organization binder that I am still putting together.

  22. Laurie says

    I would use the binder for organizing coupons and store sales flyers.

  27. Melissa B says

    Very cool – I like the folder & binder combo. I am looking for a job right now, so I would use it to keep all my materials organized.

  29. MJ Sullivan says

    I love your blog! FYI I would actually give this to my husband who is seriously un-organized! He can put it in his backpack daily for calendar work items and papers since he is on four charitable boards.

  31. Melissa Q says

    You know what I would use this for? I’d use it for a gift for my Father-in-Law! He’s “retired” but works with so many different charities and managing the family farm that he’s constantly carrying loads of papers to and fro. This would be an ideal gift for him.

    BUT, if I was FORCED to use this binder for MYSELF (I’m betting I could rival you on my love of organizing supplies), I would use this tool for creating our Homesteading Binder. We’re just settling into our own property and looking to raise some beef cattle and do loads of gardening and I need somewhere smart and handy to keep all my notes and resources.

    So if I win, I’ll have to ask you who should REALLY get this binder — my father-in-law or me??!

  33. Tara says

    For coupons and recipes. I’ve been looking to get something just like this!

  38. Pagan Overton says

    I would use a Duo to hold all of my doctor’s notes, lab results, and receipts! Right now all I have is one stinky little folder and it’s way over stuffed. I also have to carry a separate writing pad to take notes and jot down lists and such to remember for my appointments. Fibro fog really keeps me on my toes to be organized.
