I feel like everything falls apart and I'm constantly 1 step behind. And I really hate buying lunch because I didn't plan, or having to drive instead of bus because I'm running late by 5 minutes.

I have to plan everything every day. I mean, I'm flexible when things change, but in my mind I'm making a new plan to take in the changes! I hate when things don't work as planned because like you, I notice I spend more money. It's always food where I overspend if things are not on schedule. Last month my family went over budget in groceries and eating out. I’m exactly the same way! I have to plan everything every day.

I keep everything n a notebook with various to-do lists and schedules intermixed. I'll try to post next week's schedule this weekend. As for lunches, every great once in a while I'll make something like BBQ chicken or big-pot chili and eat it multiple times during the week, but I get bored really easily so I usually rely on Amy's frozen entrees for my main course and then do a fruit (apple, orange) and nuts or chips/popcorn or yogurt with my meal. I eat a pretty big lunch. Amy, oddly enough, I don’t have anything electronically. I keep everything n a notebook with various to-do lists and schedules intermixed.

Anyway you could post a copy? Plus, do you have any good tips for planning lunches? It feels like such a chore to make lunch in the morning? I am curious as to what you weekly planner looks like!

My program is at night and I'm a morning person........now it's finals season. Can't wait for it to end.

I was so out of sorts and had things before and after work, and I felt likei could not get ahead. Just make it to the weekend, and allow yourself to relaxant unwind, and start fresh on Monday.
