When my Dad was growing up it was him, his mom, his kid sister, and his elderly grandmother she was to weak to do anything. So every day when his mom needed food to be put out for some reason like boil potatoes or let meat defrost she would write it down and stick it on the TV screen. Lol Because she knew the first thing her kids would do when they got home was sit in front of the TV. And at the end of each note was a little message saying "...and if I come home and this isn't done but this tv is on and this note is not here I will rain pain upon both your butts!"

I recommend using a crock pot. I lived with my sister for a bit. Both she and the husband worked but they wanted to eat healthy. So they bought a crockpot. Before heading out to work, she threw some chicken in there with some salsa and whatever spices she fancied. By the time she got home 9ish hours later, dinner was practically ready. Chicken was tender and delicious. The few simple items stewing for the day just really made everything pop.
