How Time Blocking Helps Me Meal Plan.

Hi, it’s me! And you could say that I’m a time blocking, batch working freak.

I’ve been using the time-blocking method for my schedule for as long as I can remember.

For me, time blocking essentially means that I’m batching my work. I set aside big chunks of time for everything (whether it’s my own work, housework, exercise, etc) and *only* use that time for the specified thing. I do not stop what I am doing to do something else. And I am ruthless about it. (Within reason of course. I do have children!)

This has been SO huge for my productivity and also, my mindset. It means that there is a set end time to everything - and that is something my brain thrives on. It also means that I have less distractions when doing, well - just about everything.

I love to cook and I love to eat. But I hate to spend a ton of time meal-prepping. I hate cooking ahead and I hate meals out of the freezer on a regular basis. So I have found the sweet spot - the ultimate meal prep strategy that takes up the least amount of time.

This is how I use time blocking for meal planning each week, and how it helps to get dinner on the table each night. Just in case you need inspiration for the new school year.
