I struggle with this as well. I found lighting the load by ordering prep made food or things that can just be microwaved relieves a lot of the pressure.
Yeah I do frozen foods - but gets boring after a while. 😬 batch processing definitely helps!
I started batch-doing things on my days off: laundry, groceries, meal prep, so I wouldn’t have to think about it after a draining shift. I also use Walmart Plus (app) to get my groceries, and I do my list on my way to work during my commute.
Usually it’s great, and most of the time the fresh produce is fine. But there are two things I don’t like: first, sometimes they say they couldn’t find what I wanted, so I don’t get the product; and second, they don’t always pick produce the way I would. Still, with three little kids, those downsides aren’t too bad compared to the time and stress I save.
Do you still love the job? I just left Food & Beverage Director job and have been in the industry 34 years with 30 years experience as a manager. Do you still love it? If you don't then think about other options. Maybe try and do meal planning for the week so you don't have that stress
Wow you have so much expertise and left a great position! What made you finally make the leap? I still love the job but sometimes I feel overwhelmed for sure… meal prep is a good idea!
