INSIGHT

Less Is More On Your Weekly Spread

  • A weekly planner should not contain every tiny detail or predict the future perfectly.
  • Overfilled spreads become hard to read at a glance and discourage regular use.
ADVICE

Only Write Important Meal Plans

  • Write only the meal plans that change something or require extra time or ingredients.
  • Use notes like 'leftovers day' when it's important to influence decisions later in the week.
ADVICE

Keep A Running List Off Your Weekly Spread

  • Avoid dumping a long, undifferentiated to-do list onto your weekly spread.
  • Keep a separate running list and only move definite weekly tasks onto the weekly plan.
