Wow. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 5 months since my last template. I apologize for that, but I’ve switched up my approach to only make templates per special requests, or as I find a gap that needs filling. Hence, the Bento Food Storage template.

I over-shop. I buy much more food than I need. I tend to over-cook even more. As a result, my freezer is filled with meat and leftovers. The problem is that I don’t have it sorted in any special way, so a lot of it tends to go bad before I eat it. Enter this template. Now I have a sortable database of all the food I have in storage, so I can quickly look at what’s expiring soon, and prepare it before it does.

The most exciting thing about using Bento to manage your iCal Tasks is that you can add fields that will help you incorporate them into other systems. In this case, I've adapted Tasks by adding one simple Context table, and tweaking the default iCal Tasks interface to make it perfect for using with David Allen's Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.

The table will come to you blank, so you can fill it in with the Contexts you use to manage your life. This is a perfect compliment to the Bento for iPhone.
