I love this. I maintain a ridiculous number of lists--so many that I keep an index of lists. This combination is sheer genius. Now to find the right clipboard!
Thank you! I have been trying to think how to do this digitally or with a small whiteboard. I never found a workable system. But I think this one hits the nail on the head... Or shall I say “clips the page on the clipboard.”? I will surprise my husband with a clipboard and printed pages under the tree.
Because I live by myself, my meal planning for the week is mostly to cook two big dishes on the weekend and use them through the week (I don’t like cooking on weekdays, that much). But when my partner and I move back in together, this seems like it would be really helpful for both of us! Thanks for sharing.
That is one heck of an elaborate system. Even when I could buy all that kind of food, I didn't have a system like that. Basically, it was just look in the fridge and decide what I needed. All of the meals sound very delicious.
I love this post! Before we moved, we had an inventory of our freezer but it was just a list with numbers that was difficult to update. The dots are brilliant! Thanks for including the page for downloading. It's going to be one of my New Year's goals to get more organized in the kitchen and freezer. Great post, Rebecca! Thanks again!
Oh wow! My fridge is a mess and I always forget what I have stashed in the back of my fridge. I've often thought if I turned this into a note-taking project, I'd be more inclined to keep it going. This post might be the inspiration I need to get kitchen-organized.
wow! You are so organized! I'm impressed and super generous of you to share your kitchen page with us. I could absolutely use this. I love planning on meals for the week too (dinners) it makes my weeks so less stressful. Thanks again. :)
Rebecca, this is organisational gold! I kind of do most of this, but in multiple places with less joined up thinking. So I'm pinching this.
The biggest problem I shall have is finding space to hang a clipboard in my postage stamp kitchen. In fact since the addition of barcodes to postage stamps that might be stretching it a bit.
Such a timely post, Rebecca! I was just having a conversation with Sinù of Dash of Prosecco and Kiki of Come Como Kiki (highly recommend both) about meal planning and how we do it. I was telling them that my method (I just pick 2 recipes per week and buying all the ingredients, minus staples) has gotten a little stale 😅 I admire your organization!!
Thank you so much for the explanation and the PDF! Looking forward to trying it, will report back 🤓.
I do find meal planning for the week helpful - so much of the stress is the indecision - but this would elevate it. We don’t fix meals on certain dates per se, it’s more a discussion of best-by dates and evening schedules (does someone need to be run to a meeting, practice?)
Blimey, I thought I was well-organised. This is brilliant, Rebecca, and so generous of you to share that pdf.
Thank you for the PDF! Unlike Terry, I'm not nearly so organized. I will need to give this a try.

I envy your organizational skills! What a wonderful system :-) Thanks for sharing!
Wow...this process is truly impressive and the tip about reclaiming the Tupperware is genius! Thanks for sharing!

I do love a multifunctional list. 💚
