Time Management - Step One

I created a list of all the things we buy at the grocery store on a regular basis. This way, as I see we are running out of something, I will check it off the list and know to buy it next time. I also added a section for the 'today's' list, so that will be the list of all the specific things just for this trip. This is how I organized the list, and I'm sure I'll have to add more stuff. The plan is to print out a few of these, have them on the fridge and mark things as needed over the week and then take the list to the store for the next trip. I typed this up in excel, so my list all fits nicely on one page and i have boxes next to each item so I can check it when it is needed. I'm hoping this will help me shop smarter and not constantly forget something (or a few things) everytime I (or Eric) goes to the grocery store.
