Annabel – Great comment. I think you just need to cut and paste from here, add a graphic, and you’ve got your post! – Jeff

Great article. Here’s a hint about the shopping one. It takes a bit of time to set up but will save you a lot of time in the end.

First make a list of meals you can rotate over a two week period. Now create a shopping list on your computer with all your basic items like laundry powder, kitchen roll, cereal, bread etc and the ingredients for these meals. Organize it according to the aisles where the products are stocked in your supermarket with a box by each item that you can tick if you need to buy it. Just print out a copy of the list and check the boxes for things you need before your supermarket trip, or do it over the week as you run out of things.

As I said, it will take you a while to get in the swing of it and you’ll have to keep adding things that you forgot to put on the master list for the first month.

I like doing this because not only does it free up my time but also my thoughts. No need to ponder what to feed the kids in the evening, I just look at my master menu list, add the items to my shopping list and that’s it.

I hope this makes sense! I’ve been meaning to write a post about it for months but just in case I never do this is a start. The idea is out there is busy parents can get to grips with it they’ll be glad they did!

Angela – Funny, I had a blog post in mind this morning when I woke up, and as you suggest, the thought of getting going on it definitely made me “spring” out of bed. Thanks for commenting and good luck with that extra time freed up from Netflix! – Jeff

Dave – Thanks so much. And thanks to Leo for inspiring the clarity. It was a great learning exercise to riff off of some of his writing. – Jeff

I couldn’t agree more that it’s always possible to find a little time for something that matters! It’s amazing how I spring out of bed when I plan to do things I really enjoy first thing in the morning. I just put my Netflix account on hold to cut a little more time from that category for other better uses! Thanks!
