word choice - What is the difference in usage between 準備 用意 and 覚悟


The dictionaries translate these three words roughly as preparation/preparedness or ready/readiness.


I don't think I undersand the subtleties of their usage. Not to mention できる also has another meaning as "to be ready" as in 「ご飯できてるよ!」to mean that "The meal is ready."


Please enlighten me. Also ware their any other words commonly used to mean prepare/ready?
