The preparation of proposed menus

Why do I make proposed menus?  I wish I could just follow them, but they are difficult to follow sometimes.  It doesn't help that I have no real clue how to follow them.  I need help in following a meal plan.  Should I follow by just going by a proposed plan?  Should I prepare the food in advance in order to follow the plan?  Should I do both?  These are a rather interesting set of questions that are to be taken seriously.  Time is not to be wasted, but to use up and cherish.  That is my lesson for today.
