Welcome to Mission 37 of our 52 Get Organized Missions.
Whether our goal is weight loss, better health, or more energy, most of us would like to improve our diet and eating habits.
If you’ve completed the previous mission Get Organized Mission #36: Organize Your Paperwork then it’s a great time to switch focus to your health.
When upgrading your diet, a little time spent getting organized can turbo-charge your efforts and reduce your reliance on willpower. So let’s get organized now!
Remember: you only need 30 minutes for the basic mission. Extended Options are below.
Note: By ‘diet’ I mean the food you eat, not a restricted plan of culinary deprivation that makes you feel cranky and your friends’ heads look like giant balls of chocolate.
