Tried meal planning by category instead of by day
I used to plan each day's dinner specifically. Got to Thursday and realized I had no energy for the complicated stir fry I picked out. Has anyone else had better luck just buying ingredients and going freestyle?

Oh totally this is the only way that works for me now! I started doing the same thing last year where I just stock up on like chicken thighs, bell peppers, onions, and a few sauces then throw stuff together based on how I'm feeling that night. Way less stressful than staring at my fancy meal plan on Wednesday knowing I have to make something that takes an hour when I just want tacos. I still keep a loose idea of what I'll cook but the freedom is such a game changer.

My neighbor Betty's been doing this for years, she’s 72 and just buys what’s on sale then cooks whatever she wants that night. She says her husband used to complain but now he’s just happy to eat.
