How I adapted my meal planning to work with my ADHD | Hobonichi Weeks functional setup 2024

Hello, friends! I hope your 2024 is off to a good start! In this video, I’ll be moving into the Hiroko Kubota Another Night of Falling Stars Hobonichi Weeks that I’ll use for meal planning in 2024. I’ll also share why I think meal planning in a separate book has been a good strategy for staying consistent despite my issues with ADHD. I’ve also included some resources that I used while researching this topic.
