the unsung hero holding your chaos together with three plastic rings of pure determination
means A binder is a stiff-covered folder, usually with rings or clips inside, made to hold loose papers together in one organized place.
from From the verb "bind," rooted in Old English "bindan" — to tie or fasten — which traces back to the same ancient Germanic source that gives German "binden" and is a distant cousin of words in many Indo-European tongues meaning "to tie." A "binder" is literally a thing that binds, and the word once covered bookbinders and the binding twine on a harvest before it settled onto the ringed office staple we know today.
