About this template
Planning meals once a week saves both money and evenings. This template sets a Sunday rhythm with repeating tasks: choose, write the list, shop, prep.
Keep the shopping list in the same shared project so whoever is in the shop sees it live.
How to use it
- Import the file; the Sunday rhythm repeats every week: choose, write the list, shop, prep.
- Share the project so whoever is in the shop sees the list live.
- Add this week's groceries as subtasks of the shopping task and tick them off in the aisle.
Make it yours
- Move the planning day to whenever your week starts.
- Add a section per weekday with the dish as the task title, so the plan is visible on the phone.
- Keep a "Staples" section of things you always need and copy from it.
