Day 10: Plan 3 Dinners for Next Week
Meal planning doesn’t have to mean planning every meal or cooking something new every night. Today’s reset is about choosing just three dinners for the upcoming week. Enough to create structure without overwhelm.
This small step saves time, reduces stress, and makes grocery shopping easier, all without locking you into a rigid plan.What You’ll End Up With
- A short, realistic dinner plan
- Less decision fatigue during the week
- Easier grocery shopping and fewer last-minute takeout decisions
Task Steps
- Look at your “Meals We Actually Eat” list from Day 9.
- Choose three dinners that fit your schedule for the week ahead.
- Check your fridge and freezer to see what ingredients you already have.
- Write the meals down somewhere visible.
- Give yourself permission to keep the other nights flexible.
Quick Tips You Might Not Think Of
- Plan one “leftover” or repeat meal to reduce cooking.
- Avoid planning new or complicated recipes this week.
- Match meals to busy nights, including quick dinners on hectic days.
Planning just three dinners creates breathing room. You’re not committing to perfection. Instead, you’re setting yourself up for easier nights and fewer “what’s for dinner?” moments. Small plans still count.
