Look, do not optimize
Scan the calendar, weather, transportation and deadlines. The goal is awareness, not designing the ideal week.
Make three decisions
Choose the hardest dinner night, the most complicated morning and the one task that would create relief.
- What can be easiest?
- What must be prepared early?
- Who can own part of it?
Leave room for the week to be human
A plan should include space for changed moods, sick days, late buses and low-energy dinners. Flexibility is part of the plan.
