No More Putting Off Planning

Once again I have taken quite a pause in posting to the blog.  The viruses that have been such an epidemic the last few months have hit our household and I have been sick a majority of the time.  And now I have managed to do something to my wrist that prevents me from doing much in the way of sewing, crocheting or any other crafting I like to do.
Our church's community ladies bible study started back up recently and I've really been enjoying the book we are working on.  It's Pilgrim's Progress in modern English.  I had read it when I was in 7th grade and really enjoyed it then but had forgotten most of the story.  It's nice to refresh my memory of the story now but also to do a more thorough study of it.
I've also been trying (that's the key word here) to get more organized.  It's been a two steps forward and at least one step back process though with being sick but I am making some progress.  I'm trying to work on some weak areas of mine as far as home management and have gotten a lot of ideas on Pinterest that I'm trying to implement into my routine.  Planning meals is not a strong point for me but it's very important to my husband and sons that I have meals planned ahead of time rather than winging it.  We eat healthier when meals are planned so I need to work harder on planning menus for the week or more.  I've tried a lot of different planning techniques but so far nothing has really stuck.  We have dietary needs to consider as well as particular pallets so that makes meal planning more challenging for me.  So I'm hoping this latest idea of mine will work on simplifying the whole planning process.  What is your planning method?
