Every Sunday night I love to plan out my week and write down everything I can on paper! I plan out our dinner menu, write down appointments and meetings, and minimize stress by getting my to-do list out of my head and onto a planning sheet.
Below you will find a free monthly calendar, a weekly planning sheet, and a menu planner. Simply download and print!
Ways to minimize stress by planning:
I love to sit down on Sunday evenings and do a quick council with family so we can add everyone’s activities, sports practices, meetings, appointments and to-do’s. I love to also ask my family what meals they want for dinner for the week. Then I like to make an online grocery oder for pick up or delivery on Mondays.
When I plan my week on paper, I sleep better because I don’t go to bed worrying about forgetting something or thinking about all of the things going on in the week ahead. Planning helps me feel more ready for Monday rather than dreading it! By making a meal menu for the week, I can budget by ordering exactly what groceries we need and start dinner prep early in the day. This makes it easy to plan for busy evenings and not decide to go out to eat for an expensive meal for the 5 of us.
If meal planning is stressful, you can even plan out an entire month of dinners! Then each week you can pick up or order what groceries you need. I love to have one meal that makes enough for leftovers each week, like soup or even pot roast that we can make the leftovers into a new meal like French dip sandwiches.
