Would you like your week to feel a little more organised? Use this list as a menu of ideas. Choose one or two that fit your circumstances and leave the rest for another time.
Ten places to begin
- Look at the week ahead. Notice the days when meals will need to be especially simple.
- Choose a familiar breakfast. Keep its ingredients somewhere easy to find. Our four breakfast recipes offer ideas.
- Write a small shopping list. Start with foods you actually enjoy and will use.
- Add variety across meals. Australian guidance includes foods from all five food groups. Healthdirect — A balanced diet.
- Plan tomorrow’s lunch. Decide whether leftovers, a sandwich or another easy option suits the day.
- Use herbs for flavour. Try parsley, basil or another herb you enjoy in a familiar dish.
- Make space in the calendar. Set aside time for an activity you would like to do, without turning it into another performance target.
- Choose an evening stopping point. Decide which unfinished tasks can wait until tomorrow.
- Give sleep a regular place. Consistent sleep and waking times and a wind-down period are part of Healthdirect’s guidance. Healthdirect — Sleep.
- Review what was useful. Keep the ideas that helped with organisation and change those that did not fit.
What is getting in the way?
Cost, shift work, disability and caring responsibilities belong in the conversation. You do not have to explain away those limits or complete a checklist before asking for help.
If ongoing tiredness or sleep problems are affecting your day, speak with your GP. Healthdirect — Sleep. A planning exercise is not an assessment of symptoms.
