I’ve been trying to get myself more organized lately which, for me, means ANY amount of organization considering how unorganized I am. I don’t know what it is but my brain just can not put things together in any kind of linear direction and just doesn’t retain dates and tasks and things like that. Pretty ironic, considering my chosen career as a paralegal requires all of those things.

But anyway… I’ve been trying out different online calendar systems and finally just settled on using Yahoo’s system since it will allow me to sync up with the used Blackberry that my mom sent me.

And I’m also trying to eliminate some stress out of my life by doing menu planning which, hopefully, will save me some time and money. So I spent a little time on this thing this afternoon and here’s what I’ve come up with.

My menu, recipes and shopping list

Now the plan is to try at least one new recipe every week, some of which I have been saving over the years from AllRecipes and to use the recipes section to save some of my favorites, then use the ingredients section to help me make up my grocery list. Just a quick copy & paste, sort the ingredients into the categories, print it out then cross out the things I already have and don’t need to buy.

So wish me luck!! No more last minute stops at the grocery store, no more fast food because I forgot to take something out of the freezer. Now if I can just stick with it….
