9 Things I've Learned about Home Time Management and Cooking
I've learned that there is nothing shameful about making mistakes… as long as you learn
and grow from them. Such is the case when it comes to my home time management and cooking.
I've probably made all the mistakes everyone else makes such as:
* Waiting until the last minute to plan dinner * Fast food drive-through
* Ordering delivery * Serving junk food from the freezer
* Walking zombie-like through the grocery store right before dinner
Yep… I've been there, done that, and gained those pounds and hyperactive children from
it. But then I decided to I was tired of it. I knew there must be a simpler way to live
and little by little I gained experience in all the things that made my life so much easier.
It wasn't just a simpler life I craved; it went much deeper than that. I wanted a sense
of accomplishment, a feeling of success, and an image of competency in the face of my children.
I didn't want to feel like a bumbling unprepared idiot when the question came up "Hey mom,
what's for dinner"? It was… I finally realized… a question
that could be expected day after day, month after month, and year after year. It didn't
matter how I felt and it didn't matter what else I had going on in my life. That was one
question I could always count on having to answer.
So I decided to change my life so that the question of what was for dinner was one of
the first questions I had answered for that day. Unbelievable, it made the whole rest
of the day much less mentally taxing. (That just showed how much it had previously taxed
my brain.) Seriously, it had always had a small niggling space in my brain occupying
precious resources that couldn't be redirected until I'd answered that question and freed
up the resource. So now I pass on both what I've learned from
experience and how I put that experience into practical use.
I'm often asked for my favorite recommendations and so I thought I'd quickly touch on them
here. In no particular order they are: 1. Making and using meal plans
2. Cooking ahead on the weekend 3. Mixing extra when making meatloaf, spaghetti
sauce, or chili 4. Putting leftovers in the freezer
5. Reusing in a different dish 6. Making salads easy by cutting up everything
before putting in the fridge 7. Teaching kids to cook early in life
8. Then giving those kids cooking responsibility 9. Enlisting the aid of your spouse
If you are looking for something that will make life easier then I promise if you'll
spend just a little time getting this area under control you'll reap the benefits for
years and years to come. Even if you choose to tackle only one topic
per month then in less than a year you'd have this area of your life completely changed
and be ready to tackle something else. Just think… if you'd started this 9 months ago
you'd have a changed life right now. My goal as a Home Time Management Coach is
