About

Every Sunday, we'd pull out the stack. Recipe printouts, dog-eared books, sticky notes marking the favourites. It lived under the stairs and came out weekly like a chore we'd been avoiding. Two boys, two lunchboxes, a week to plan - and somehow it always took two hours we didn't want to spend.

One Sunday my wife said: "Can you come up with a way to plan this on the fridge? I need to see it." She needed the week visible. Not carried around in her head - visible. On the fridge, where everyone could look at it.

So I went upstairs, designed a grid of days and mealtimes, and turned our favourite meals into individual magnets - Mains, Sides, Snacks. Printed on PVC at the local print shop, layered onto magnetic sheets from Amazon, cut up at the kitchen table. Within a few weeks the Sunday dread was gone. A few weeks after that, I added QR codes - scanning every recipe into a digital library so we could finally retire the stack completely. No more hunting for the recipe. No more building a shopping list from scratch. The week was already sorted. That was Goodweek.
