- [Ann] Hey, loves!
It's Ann.
Welcome back to my channel.
If you haven't noticed,
I've been doing a new bullet journal setup every other week.
Last week, I made a nail polish library,
and this week we're going to do a meal plan setup.
This is a great idea to add into your monthly planning,
or you can set aside another journal
just for your meal planning.
Over on the left, I already set up three boxes
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Lately, I've been craving for broccoli.
I always go in and out of a broccoli phase,
and when I crave broccoli, I go all the way.
And so I'm going to dedicate this page
all for broccoli recipes.
Roasted broccoli, you name it,
it's going to be on this page.
If you're new to my channel,
I usually like to start with a pencil
because I don't have the neatest handwriting.
Sometimes I would not start a project
because I'm just worried that I'm going to mess up the page,
but when you think about it, if you use a pencil,
you can always erase what you don't like,
and then you can go over it with a pen.
So this is what I highly recommend
for anybody who is starting out.
Just know that you can always erase your mistakes,
except in life.
This whole process of drawing out,
writing down the recipes, your meal plan,
really helps encourage you to eat the food you want to eat.
At the same time, it helps you retain the idea
that you want a better lifestyle for yourself
while obtaining your plans and goals.
This first layout I'm showing you
is the more colorful layout, as you can see.
I'm having fun with the highlights and some water color.
So on the left side, I have the meal plan schedule.
As I mentioned, I broke it down into three categories,
breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If you want to get more personalized with this,
you can even add in the time that you want to eat.
Inside the left of the box,
I have the days from Monday to Sunday,
and then on the side of days,
I can fill in the meals.
Now let's work on the second setup.
This one I want to make it more
for people who don't have the time to doodle or draw.
I just want to show you that you can also do this
and still enjoy the creativity of bullet journaling
and setups like this.
As you can see, I kept the meal planning section
very similar to the last setup.
We have three boxes,
one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
and then I also have the days listed on the side.
The only difference is
I'm experimenting with not using color
and just keeping it black and white.
Let me know if you like my doodles with the colors more
or if you like the black and white version.
This setup shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes,
and it all depends on how much time you want to put in this
and how much personalization you want to add.
One of my favorite ways to save time and also be creative
is through a collage.
I love creating collages, and this is a great way
to note down all your favorite recipes
or highlight recipes that you want to try out for the week.
I like to print out the recipes
that I know I really want to try from Pinterest.
After pasting the picture onto my setup,
I prefer to write down the ingredients
and also the instructions.
By doing so, it gives me a better understanding
and also makes me feel more comfortable and familiar
before trying out the recipe.
All right.
So here are the final two setups.
I really enjoyed making them both.
They all turned out amazing.
And this is just a way to show
how you can customize, personalize your own meal plan
depending on the time you have.
These don't take much time.
For me, it took a little bit of time
to figure out the layout and everything like that,
but once you know what kind of layout you want to do,
it should take no longer than 30 minutes to one hour.
