Food decisions happen multiple times a day. What to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner. What to buy at the store. What to cook. Each decision, while small, adds up to significant mental load over a week.

On Sunday, plan your meals for the week. Write down what you will eat for each meal. Make your grocery list from this plan. Then stick to it. You do not need to follow it perfectly, but having a plan eliminates most daily food decisions.

This practice saves time, reduces stress, and often leads to healthier choices. When you are hungry, you do not need to decide what to eat. You just follow the plan. The decision was already made when you had time to think clearly.

Plan your meals for this week. Make your grocery list. Then notice how much easier your days become when food decisions are handled in advance.
