JOYS Home Filing and Household Notebook Products

Effectiveness - What if the paper or information falls under two of the categories?

JOYS® system allows for subject overlap by using color AND graphics to represent a category. Here's How JOYS Simple and Colorful Categorizing System Organizes Your Stuff.

Effectiveness - How can a system based on just five main categories work for everyone?

The simple categories of Everyday, Wealth, Wellness, Home and Interest create a filing system the whole family can use. These categories are broad enough to cover any subject of life. Broad Categories in Your Home Filing System Make it Easy to File Your Piles.

Effectiveness - What makes JOYS different than the other filing and binder products?

JOYS® is more than a filing system, a household notebook or a random collection of worksheets and checklists. JOYS is a categorizing system applied to a filing system, a household notebook and a collection of worksheets. The categorizing system provides the consistent foundation for all JOYS organizing tools including this website.

JOYS simple approach does not require complicated codes, numerical systems, confusing computer programs or difficult indexes and you don't have to learn a new system when life changes direction. No other filing system or household notebook on the market can provide such a cohesive expandable collection. It is more of a life management system than a filing system.

In addition, JOYS is a philosophy that reinforces positive thinking which leads to a more proactive and organized life.

Qualifications - Why are you qualified to create this product?

Life experience and sixteen plus years as a graphic designer. As a graphic designer, the only “real” skill I could bring to JOYS® was organizing information. Color, type, graphics and/or words combine to communicate; however, a consistent and defined use of color, type, graphics and/or words will also easily organize information for usability and confidence.

The end result may appear simple, but creating a graphic system is truly complex. The only way to communicate successfully is to consider unlimited needs (the unpredictably of life) and uses (numerous filing methods and tools) and create a system that is flexible and expandable enough to effectively communicate in all the scenarios.

Product Offering - Can the filing module act as a stand-alone product? Or do you recommend using it with your binder system?

All the JOYS® products are designed to stand alone. Each product provides a collection of tools (worksheets, checklists, binder tabs, file labels, etc... ) to help you organize according to your need and style.

The six consistent categories are what make JOYS filing tools unique and effective. The categories allow you to create ONE solid system for organizing life. It can be used for filing papers, collecting information for a household notebook or even organizing your emails. It keeps your stuff consistently categorized in different and distinct locations.
