Day Nine

Well, today's task was menu planning and sorting appointments for the week and essentially making a list of what needs to be done.  I did not organize any new rooms, nor did I attempt to clean out a cupboard.  Eventually of course, this will have to be done lest I end up telling the two people who read this that I quit - already.  And I won't do that.

So I didn't start my task until 4:30 - yes, ten minutes ago - and I'm done already because this really requires more pre-planning effort. I'm sure this effort will come on Friday when I'm grocery shopping because I will know before I go what I need to have ... before I go.

Now you are supposed to organize your dinners and seriously the easiest way to do that is look and see what you have.  Another way to do it might be directly before you go grocery shopping and see what you need to make dinners you actually want.  I will do that Friday. 

Step two is to look at all your appointments for the week.  Well, as you can see, Thursday became leftover day once I realized I had an appointment at 4:00pm.  That meant no prep time for dinner.  Hah - and now that I see this I have actually made my life easier on Thursday because I won't be thinking we were going to try some awesome peach chutney with those pork chops that I wasn't going to cook tomorrow.  Now I will make the whole thing of pork chops tomorrow so we have suitable leftovers for the next day.  Wow.  This really is helpful.

Also notice that we are having leftovers and hot dogs tonight because I did my menu planning when? That's right, eighteen minutes ago.  Huh.  And now I'm finished with the blog too.  Nice.  Happy Tuesday!  PS FlyLady has a special calendar that will fit all of the planning things you're supposed to have to make YOUR life EASIER.
