But no matter how hard it is to pull it together and commit to the list, this is one task you really should carve out time for because it will make your life better. You'll save money and time, you'll eat healthier and you won't have to stress about dinner for a whole week.

Don't take our word for it, though. The folks at Gathered Table , a meal-planning site, put together a nifty infographic that gets the point across with cute illustrations. Take a look, and then start planning dinner .
