Feed Future You
Cook ordinary dinners and leave tomorrow something to eat.
You're tired by dinnertime, the fridge holds odds and ends, and it's easier to skip a meal or order in than work out what to cook.

Is this deck for you?
Where it takes you.
Cook ordinary dinners, make good use of what is already in your kitchen, and leave tomorrow something to eat. Twenty practical reminders take you from one workable plate to a week of feeding yourself and sharing the work.
From
Too tired to cook, so I graze, skip or order in
To
Rotating a few dependable dinners and keeping something ready for tomorrow
What the cards have you do
- Assemble a no-cook dinner plate, or dress a can of beans for a meal, on nights when cooking feels like too much.
- Learn a short set of reliable dinners: eggs and vegetables, pasta with beans and greens, a pot of vegetable soup.
- Set aside tomorrow's lunch before seconds and freeze an extra portion, so a busy day already has food in it.
- Feed yourself through five demanding days with a simple fallback, or cook a meal together and switch who leads.

What's the difference between the free deck and the printed deck?
The cards are the same. The free deck is a download: open it in the print studio and print it at home or save it as a PDF. The printed edition is professionally printed, front and back, with each card's QR code, so it's ready to pin up the day it arrives.
Can I buy a printed deck right now?
Not yet. The original boxed decks are sold out, and the printed editions of the library decks are being prepared. Join the waitlist on any deck and we'll email you once when it's ready to order.
Do I have to do a card every day?
No. You can pin one card and keep at it until it sticks, or draw a card a day for variety. Both work. The point is repeating something worthwhile at a moment you already have.
What if I miss a day?
Pick it up the next time the cue comes round. In the best-known study of habit formation, missing a single day didn't measurably set people back. Every card also says how the habit usually slips and what to do about it.
Are Challenge cards required?
No. They're bounded missions with a clear finish, from one evening to a few weeks. Do one when you want a stretch, and skip any that don't fit your life or health.
