Close up

Friday mornings involve making multiple bread doughs, desserts, etc.
Didn't have to wake the kids today because it's February vacation! w00t!
Friday afternoon checklist
Friday dinner menu
Saturday lunch menu
Guest list with food preferences and allergies.

This information is necessary for the current Friday, but can be particularly helpful when looking for information from years past.
Didn't have to pick up or drop off the kids today because it's February vacation! w00t!
This is where I put the top three priorities for the day. On non-Fridays, there is room for more items, in the spot where the Friday menus are today.

On Fridays, most of my priorities involve cooking.
Personal checklist:
B= breakfast
V= vitamins
W= water

(I'm trying to be more consistant with these. The list has been very helpful to remind me, especially with the water.)
The checkboxes are the character zero ("0") with a space before the descritption
Water tally is done with eight zeros, each followed by a number with a superscript.
I expect to hear about religious requests, vegetarianism, organic preference, allergies...
Believe it or not, this is a stripped-down Friday list. There is another label-full for when we have guests staying over for the weekend.
It seems the dietary requests have become more specific over the years...

We've had people say, "I'm allergic to avocados", "No pine nuts, please", or "bananas make me itch."
an 8 point font yields about a dozen entries on an address label, when held vertically
Having the menu structure pre-printed helps me focus, not to forget items, and to keep from overpreparing.

(I have a portion control problem. I need a 12-step program: Overpreparers Anonymous.)

UPDATE (5/2007): By request, The template for the daily label is now availabe here: for (free) download here.
====================

This is the setup for Friday (today). Fridays are complicated.

Fridays are my busiest days, with many checklists, and two menu plans for formal meals. (These meals are ritualized, with recurring mandatory courses, so they lend themselves to a partially printed description. I don't do menu plans for the regular weekdays.)

Monday through Thursday, I use only the one "weekday" vertical list and the one "daily" horizontal list.

I followed the link to download your label templates but when I tried both versions, I go the same "file not found" error message. Are the files no longer there?

Emooreathome,

I just checked, and they were there. Maybe it was a temporary system hiccup? Please try again and let me know if there is any problem. I can e-mail the .pdf files to you if you want.

Thank you for letting me know about it!

All the best,
CLKL

This is brilliant! i use the return address labels for lots but never thought of it for breakfast and vitamins and things. i'll definitely need to add lunch to mine since i miss it most every day except on shabbat and sundays.

now if i could figure out how to swing a sticker machine....

I've been admiring your amazing system for months. I've created a modified version of my own for following Weight Watchers. Thanks for the inspiration!
