I have a good tip on organizing weekly meals and making life much easier in this regard. 1) Make a weekly chart and list meals you'll be making for each day of the week. 2) Corresponding to the meals chart, make a weekly grocery list from ingredients you'll need to prepare meals you've decided on for the week. This isn't as time consuming as you might think and it saves a lot of time in the long run! I find it so handy to do this and it saves time by not having to run to the grocery store for something you forgot and need and it also has enabled us to order out less often and therefore save $$! I hope you find this as handy a tip as I do!

I have never been able to get myself to the point that I make it work for me. I am glad that you have found a system that makes you life easier and more organized.
