I keep information about events (medical appoints trips upcoming marathons training programs etc) which I organize in notebooks. Once the event has occurred I take the information out and start over again with the next item in my "to do" list. My system helps me keep up with where things are prior to being needed- thus working for me.
found this same item elsewhere cheaper and had more pockets and was more heavier in weight. so i purchased the other one and am soon to return this one. If you have just a few items fine this will probably work but if you are like me you need something durable and will last with more space.
I am a traveling teacher and use these binder pockets to keep individual information and material separate tidy and easily avaiable for each student. I open the binder rings and take out the necessary pockets placing them in a folder for use while keeping the remaining material confidential. I can even color code materials!
My clutter (recipes knitting patterns and household tips & grandchildren's art) was getting beyond control and these helped me get some efficient sorting done.
