7 steps to easy meal planning

Last week I shared with you why I need to plan my menus and why I live with a to-do list. One of the tool that has been most helpful to me for breaking big projects down into manageable items is my productivity planner.


This little planner makes me prioritize the things that are most important every day. I will admit that at first I was a bit confused on how to use. After a few weeks, I feel more productive as I am able to break projects down.
For example planning a trip:

  • choose hotel
  • book hotel
  • research airlines
  • book airfare
Etc...

The same thing goes with my menu planning. I break that task down in some easy steps:
  1. I browse through my recipe books and/or search pinterest for recipes that follow my clean eating diet;
  2. I jot down a few of those recipes along with the ingredients needed;
  3. I check items that I already have on hand and plan my menu according to that and the recipes I found;
  4. I pick from my go to breakfasts and use that to plan the rest of the day according to the plan I currently follow;
  5. I make my menu for the week;
  6. I go shopping for ingredients I need;
  7. I prep my food.
Now I am all set for the week.

Here is my menu for this week.
workout is week 5 not 4 :D
