It might sound kind of obsessive compulsive, but sometime I use a timer set for 25 minutes to keep me ON a task, When the timer goes off, I leave it to finish another day if it's a big task. Sometimes I plan for two 25 minute slots on one task. But the 25 minute period sometimes helps me from spending TOO much time on a task that's not all that significant. It's called Pommodoro Technique. I keep meaning to write a post on it and never do!Betsy de Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081162585307212930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088576474458664356.post-83988216513417915612012-09-03T16:24:58.566+03:002012-09-03T16:24:58.566+03:00I had the incentive of carrying on the tradition i...I had the incentive of carrying on the tradition in my family of giving a recipe book to my siblings when they get married. After I made her book, I just duplicated it for myself, made a few changes and ordered it! It definitely helped to have that motivation and wedding deadline.

I tend to look through various books to find what I like, or have to search for the recipe I want to make. Having it all in one book would be great. And since I enjoy doing creative things, fun too! NOW JUST TO DO IT. =)Bill and Tammy Brouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741382051187731694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088576474458664356.post-11241506434267354532012-09-03T03:18:07.437+03:002012-09-03T03:18:07.437+03:00Since something about meals made the list twice, t...Since something about meals made the list twice, thought I would mention that I have found it very helpful to make my own recipe book. It's a bit of a time investment up front, but it pays rewards in the long term. I compiled all my favorite recipes and used Blurb to make a hard cover book. I now sit down with my recipe book and make my meal plans and grocery list. I have also frequently brought the recipe book to the grocery store with me as my meal plan has to flex with what is available that day day/week at the store.
