Family Organizer Cards in 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 Index Card Sizes

These family organizer cards are a small card system for busy homes, made in true 4 x 6 in and 3 x 5 in index card sizes, where every person, activity and school form gets a card of its own instead of yet another full page planner. The undated set has 29 pages with nine card layouts in both sizes, crop marks, lined and dot grid backs and four tabbed dividers for a card box. You get US Letter and A4 PDF files as an instant download, and nothing is shipped.

Pin this week's cards to the fridge and file the rest in a box on the counter.

How family organizer cards lighten the mental load

Every person in the house gets a card listing their birthday, grade, six clothing sizes, school and teacher, doctor and dentist, allergies and medicines. The next time someone asks for a shoe size or the pediatrician's number, the answer is one card away.

On Sunday, fill a weekly card with morning, after school and evening plans plus who is driving, choose seven dinners on a meal card and hand out a chore card with a box for each day. Activity, appointment and school paperwork cards keep practice times, fees, visits, permission slips and due dates in sight, and the babysitter card with phone numbers, children, allergies and bedtimes is ready before you head out. Cards sit behind People, Week, Home and School dividers, so you only reprint the ones you use up.

Who these family cards are for

• Busy parents juggling sizes, schedules and phone numbers in their head who want them written down in one spot
• Families with children in several activities who need practices, fees and game days at a glance
• Parents who leave the kids with a sitter, grandparents or a neighbor and want an info card ready to hand over
• Anyone who prefers a little card box on the counter to a big binder

Design, sizes and printing

• Minimalist white pages with soft blush pink touches that use very little ink
• Wide margins all around, so a home printer will not trim anything
• Exact trim sizes of 4 x 6 in (10.2 x 15.2 cm, two to a sheet) and 3 x 5 in (7.6 x 12.7 cm, three to a sheet), with crop marks, on A4 (210 x 297 mm) or US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) paper
• Undated for use in any year, with weekly cards you can print as often as you like
• Print on both sides with the flip on the long edge, and the lined or dot grid back sits right behind each front
• A card system, not the same product as the full page Family Planner or the Chore Cards in the shop: small cards to sort, file and pin to the fridge
