Meal Planning

KatieRobinson

Hi, has anyone been meal planning using F ✱ N? And if so, would you mind sharing a screen shot or your method? I'm traditionally a digital planner in Goodnotes that's always used MS Word created meal planners. I have been using F ✱ N to overhaul my entire life basically, and I cannot figure out a way that makes sense on a weekly scale for meal planning 3 meals per week and incorporating recipes. It's a design issue in my brain lol. Thank you in advance.

I've been thinking about that as well, and your question made me try to figure out a way and look around for examples. I found this lovely lady who uses notes and reminders together for her weekly meal planning - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFaIid7E-Og

She attaches a note to a reminder list that's the week's menu. It creates a link to the note/recipe on the reminders app. I'm attaching a picture as an example. I think I may do this in how I meal plan from now on.

But if I were to try to keep it ONLY in my notes app, I would utilize the Month's note and create a table. you can add links in the table, but if you are in the table, the shortcut to a note ">>" does not not work. You either have to create the linked note outside the table and drag, or use CMD+K.

My roommate and I keep ours in a shared note and link out to individual notes when a recipe is needed.

The table format doesn’t look so great from our phones unless it‘s in landscape, but we do most of the planning from iPads or laptops and only use the phone for quick glances.
