an adhd lifesaver
i can’t tell you what a help it’s been to make my weekly meal plan inside Notion. previously, i was using pinterest to save a buttload of meal ideas - but if you use pinterest, you also prob know how quickly and easily it is to get distracted by literally anything else on the page 😉 (i’ll end up looking at new cat furniture when i was supposed to figure out how to make ramen), and there’s no real way to actually organize things on pinterest in a way that makes sense for planning out meals during the week.
cue my cute & very simple Notion meal plan database! i use the Save To Notion Chrome extension to save recipes to this database. which will save the entire recipe straight from a blog post into the Notion page. now, i can avoid the million ads on the blog post, and easily edit the recipe with my own notes!
i make notes about what i served it with and exactly how i made it - so i don’t have to try to remember for next time. cuz you know my adhd brain ain’t hanging onto that info. i’ve also got a date property so i can see when i last cooked it! and if the meal consists of more than one recipe - i’ve got a relation property that allows me to relate recipes to each other, so i can quickly navigate between them. everything i need is right there!
it’s been really helpful for me when i’m making my weekly grocery list, because i can open up the recipe page, take a look at the ingredients, and put ‘em on my list. so much easier than trying to recall from memory or having to go to a website to track them down.
and now i have a list of all my favorite recipes, right in Notion where they’re super easy to access.
we’re making ramen for dins this week 🍲😛 what are you having?

This month, I'm thrilled to welcome Brigitte into the pleasure garden. Brigitte is a systems and self-care witch who builds intentional systems for neurodivergent creatives. Through her work, she's discovered something profound: that we get to choose pleasure, create it, and weave it purposefully into the fabric of our daily lives.
