The goal is not a perfect planning session. It is preventing three predictable problems from colliding in the middle of the week.
The four checks
- Calendar: name the two busiest family windows.
- Food: decide the easiest dinner for each busy night.
- Gear: place uniforms, chargers, bags and keys where needed.
- Home: choose one small task that prevents a larger annoyance.
Give Wednesday a gift
Move one decision out of the future. Thaw the food, schedule the pickup, fill the car or put the form by the door.
Set a timer and stop at ten minutes. A reset that expands into cleaning the entire house will not survive.
