My health & food
Although it’s often difficult for those of us with health issues to plan ahead, planning ahead for me primarily depends on how well I’m dealing with my health, whether I’m eating the right foods, whether I eat at the right times, or whether I go too long between meals.

Rid yourself of clutter
