My Sunday Reset
Starting the Week with My Own Personal Win
Sundays are sacred.
Not in the religious sense. At least not for me.
They are to be revered; they are to be respected as a reset. They set me up for a success as the new week starts.
Sundays are when I do laundry, so I have everything clean for the week. Sundays are when I prep the fruit for my morning smoothies. Sundays are when we grocery shop and set our menu for the week, so we all know what to expect for dinner (this especially helps my son). Sundays are when I reset my mind and prepare for the week.
What does my Sunday Reset look like? I spend about 15-20 minutes with my planner. I still keep a paper planner, and without it, my life falls apart. I write down appointments and tasks for the week. I check-in on monthly goals and add in any tasks needed to meet these goals. I realistically evaluate what can and cannot be done basked on appointments and prior commitments.
No judgement.
No berating myself.
No disappointment.
Once my planner is ready, I put it away starting the week with a sense of accomplishment. This small reset routine is the first win of a new week. It helped ease the “Sunday Blues” by reflecting on what I have to look forward to during the week.
When I get to the next Sunday, I reflect on the week I just finished. Maybe I didn’t hit all the goals or check off all the tasks, but they easily move to the next week (in almost every case). I also look at what happened; what distracted me? Where did the weekly system break down?
When I don’t do my Sunday Reset, my week feels chaotic, I get less done, and I forget things I thought I could remember. This is where I judge, berate, and disappointment myself. I have the simple system; I need to use it.
Starting next Sunday, Paid Subscribers will get my Sunday Reset Notes to ease them into their work week and start with a win.
