In order to stay on track with creating healthy meals, I need to be organized and now that my blog is turning from a hobby into a business, the scribbled notes I leave everywhere are not helpful anymore. I have found an easy way to start become efficient and stay on track: By utilizing Cozi’s To-Do Lists.

I now have a number of lists including ‘Savor the Thyme,' ‘Weekly Meal Plan,' ‘Recipe Ideas,' ‘Articles.’ Plus, I create one each evening in preparation for the next day. I also love that I can create sub-headers that help me prioritize. I do this by typing all in caps, such as, MORNING, and I can then list the items that need to be accomplished first.

The best part is that I can assign and share these lists with my husband. I mean, really, an electronic ‘honey to do list’ is so much fun. Husbands may see this as technological nagging but I say it is a way to remind him without using my voice.

The fact that I can update and access this list anywhere remotely is very useful to me. Whenever a recipe idea or food topic hits me, I add it to my list and then even switch over to my grocery list (to be covered another week.) For the times when I will not have an electronic device or just feel the need, I can print my list. I love flexibility and this is why Cozi is now a part of our healthy family lifestyle. See my story of how I stayed organized this week.
