Menu-Planning

If I had to suggest one action that could totally transform your habits, if  you genuinely kept to the principles, I would suggest basing you life around a Diary.  A diary is both easy and useful. It is a planning tool to construct a framework for your time. It is an agenda, with a with a chronology  for your social and professional  activities. If you have a Menu Planner in your Diary like mine, then your Diary is the basis of organising your finances.  This particular  feature allows me to control all my activities in one small little black book. Menu Planning is something I have done for years and years, and with three children, work and studies, it is tool I use to the optimum. It is the basis  of my weekly shopping, and  the point of reference for my financial planning. Most Institutions where some form of catering is used rely and depend on Menu planning to be  efficient .  Applying the same logic  to your life  is not only sensible, but essential  in becoming  more efficient .The added bonus is of course you can save a lot of money in the process

Here are a few examples of Menu planning templates . There are many free templates available over the internet, so feel free to research and find the one that will incorporate all the aspects in your life.

Friends often criticise, and say that menu planning can make you regimented, but I feel the opposite is true. Menu Planning ensures I cater for all my family needs  and activities  needs over a period of time.   There is plenty of scope and flexibility to give you the option to be spontaneous on the occasion .
