A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don't have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I'm away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

We have to eat. Our survival depends on it! Fortunately, like most people, I like eating. I even enjoy cooking! Planning meals can sometimes be a challenge though, especially as seasons change. I’m sure it’s even tougher for folks who aren’t very organized in other areas or who don’t have decades of meal planning experience. That’s why asked my readers to share their meal planning expertise in this edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.

If you offer a product or service that would interest professional organizers, productivity consultants, or their clients, maximize your exposure by sponsoring an upcoming edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.

As you read the posts listed below, please connect with the bloggers on social media, leave comments, and share your favorites with your own network.

Big thanks to everyone who participated in this month’s Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival!

The topic for the next Blog Carnival is Organizing Meetings. You have until 11:59 PM EDT on Wednesday, September 18 to contribute your post.

    Eating is a basic human need. Having a routine or plan takes the stress out of an essential task.

    At this point, we’ve simplified our eating patterns and meal planning. We eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables paired with proteins. We don’t require anything fancy or complicated to prepare. It also gives us flexibility from day to day, which I appreciate.

    I’m looking forward to reading more and appreciate you including my post in this terrific collection.

      Keeping things simple makes life easier, and probably keeps you healthy too! Thank you for sharing your post and for taking the time to comment.

    This is one of those topics that is universally important. We all need to eat. I see lots of people ordering food at the last minute because they haven’t meal planned. While eating out and Uber Eats are great options now and then, meal planning can save time and money in the long run. It’s also usually healthier, so worth some time to get this right.

    Thanks for including my post on school lunches. We are just about ready to head back to school in my town!

    We like to order in or eat out from time to time, but it’s nearly always planned. Having a meal plan keeps us from overspending!

    School will be starting here soon too.
