It’s Thursday. Tomorrow will officially be I have been on summer vacation for one whole week, how did the first week go by so fast, I don’t understand, I was just at happy hour celebrating the last day of school, this is crazy!
I have a list of things to get done including three or five or ten solid days of doing absolutely nothing while still in pajamas watching whatever I want on TV and telling Steve no, I don’t mind at all if he works late.
On my list was something I was not looking forward to at all. AT ALL. I mean, it was just staring at me and mocking me and bothering me.
I whined and complained about it to anyone who would listen.
Murphie is a great listener, by the way.
I had to get all of my files OUT OF THE BINDERS THAT I JUST HAD TO HAVE and back into regular ole file folders that I had originally had them in for seventeen years and that never bothered me in the first place. Okay, a few things may have bothered me because sometimes my brain couldn’t remember if I had filed nouns under N for nouns or under G for grammar or maybe it was under P for person, place, thi – no, that’s not it. Where in the hello kitty are my noun cards?!
But that only happened a few times. In seventeen years. So seriously. C’mon. I had a system and that system worked, but I opted for a system of look how adorable my binders are!
Well, I hated them WITH A PASSION of which I never knew I had the potential of feeling. That post is {HERE} if you’re so inclined to read it.
I was dreading getting my files out of the binders.
I felt like my summer couldn’t officially start until I had crossed that off my list. It was hanging over my head. It was a dark cloud. It was basically ruining my summer.
So yesterday was the day.
DEEP BREATH.
There is nothing wrong with file folders. I love binders to keep my answer keys so that they are flippable, but everything else is in my file cabinet at school or on my computer to run masters again when needed.

My Name is Nicole Marie, I live in USA and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life, As i am a struggling mum with two kids and i have been going through a serious problem as my husband encountered a terrible accident last two weeks, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again and i could not afford the bill for his surgery then i went to the bank for a loan and they turn me down stating that i have no credit card, from there i ran to my father and he was not able to help me, then when i was browsing through yahoo answers and i came across a God fearing man (Mr Martinez Lexie) who provides loans at an affordable interest rate and i have been hearing about so many scams on the Internet mostly Africa, but at this my desperate situation, i had no choice than to give it an attempt due to the fact that the company is from United State of America, and surprisingly it was all like a dream, i received a loan of $82,000.00 USD and i payed for my husband surgery and thank GOD today he is ok and can walk, my family is happy and i said to myself that i will shout to the world the wonders this great and God fearing Man Mr Martinez Lexie did for me and my family; so if anyone is in genuine and serious need of a loan do contact this GOD fearing man via Email: Lexieloanfinance@gmail.com or ( Lexieloancompany@yahoo.com ) or immediately reach him through text Tel: +1 (406) 946-0675 thanks
I seriously need to clean out my files. There is nothing wrong with a filing cabinet. I keep books in mine too. I knew a binder system wouldn't work for me. I like be able to open the draw and dropping the paper in the correct folder.
This is too funny- last year because of your blog post, I went to the Binder System 🙂 I LOVED IT!! I'm working on a reflection post for how great it worked!!! It is called BINDERS: ONE YEAR LATER. This was my original post from summer 2014. I even said how you were my inspiration 🙂 http://litwithoutworksheets.blogspot.com/2014/07/made-it-monday-binders-for-school-and.html
Now I am scared. I just bought a ton of binders to get rid of my folders!
Yay!!! Let your summer begin! It sounds like you might have worked up a sweat, you probably need a *nice* cold drink! 🙂

I am sooo with you! I HATED putting things back in my binders. I am back to file folders too!
I loathe binders as well. Too much extra work with all the hole punching and having to actually open the rings. Ugh! Folders work best for me! Kudos to you for trying something new though!
Okay, I was all set to switch the big stuff to binders this year… and now you have me wondering.
Will my laziness just transfer to not putting things back in binders? Will it be just like my laziness of not putting things back in file folders?
Is there no solution???

I contemplate binders vs. file folders vs. just printing it from my computer all the time! Last year I started filing everything and stored it in a hodge podge mix of binders and folders and this year I just printed it off of the computer instead of pulling out a hard copy!
What do you do with holiday themed sheets that go with a certain skill? Holiday folder or skill folder?
YAY! It feels SO good to complete those things that are looming over your head! For me, it was organizing a big closet at school. I went yesterday (on my second day of break) and got it DONE! No more thinking about it! HELLO SWEET SUMMERTIME!!!! Such a great feeling!

I am a file folder kind of girl too!! There are "some" things I store in binders, but not much. The last week of school I spent time purging…again…and got EVERYTHING that was in file folder boxes still because I couldn't fit it in the 1 1/2 filing cabinets I have at school IN those filing cabinets! No more file boxes for me…yay!!
I have used file folders until now and was contemplating switching to binders. Now I'm not sure – I do need to figure out how to organize all my centers, though. Do you use files for those too? Any suggestions?

I'm with you on binders remorse. I started putting all of my reading series units into the big binders to stay organized. I made cute cover sheets and tabs and bought a TON of sheet protectors. I was quite proud of myself. It was quite easy to find the stuff for each story…..but somehow sliding it back into that flippin' sheet protector was a pain. I don' know why…but I too was guilty of say "I have it saved on a computer…I can recycle this." Sigh.
I love your organized files!!!

Everything about this post made me giggle (and think very carefully about how I want to get organized this summer!!!!!)
Happy Summer!!!
This is so me! I've done the binders for YEARS now and I still can't get it right. I think I want to go back to files. Did you organize by months or theme/topic or both?
I have the binder system for my masters. I have a semi paper system for my extra reading tests and vocabulary activities. I tried to go back to the filing system and It was a mess. I couldn't find anything. I am back to my binder system. I like to be able to take my binder to the copy machine, make copies and replace it in the binder right where it goes. I like flipping through my binders with my cup of coffee and deciding which needed copies. It works for me.

I'm so glad someone else hates binders as much as I do 😉
Amazing post.
I had binders for the first 5 years I taught. Then I went to the file cabinet systems because I was tired of flipping through things and not filing. Turns out I just don't like to file. I had a whole crate full behind my desk at the end of the school year. I just threw it away. Most of the time I'm just going through my digital files to find something anyhow. I did have a light panic attack when I did it. Then I ran out of the building and my summer started. 🙂
P.S. My VP posted the link to your post about not using a clip chart. Yay! I think I'm finally free from having to use one.
P.P.S. I may have comment "THIS IS THE GIRL THAT HAD THE LOST FINGER STORY I SHARED IN THE CURRICULUM MEETING!" I made everyone read that post.
Thank you for the Sunday morning laugh!
