Sundays can go one of two ways: either a lazy day of indulgence or a frantic attempt to sort your life out before Monday hits. If you’re anything like me, you’ve had both kinds. But I’ve found a middle ground the Sunday Reset a simple routine that sets me up for a smoother, more productive week without the stress.

Here’s how I do it:

1. Sort the Chaos

First things first, I tackle whatever mess I’ve conveniently ignored all week. Whether it’s laundry, dishes, or the random pile of stuff I’ve somehow accumulated, a quick tidy-up makes a huge difference. Nothing fancy—just enough to clear my space and my head.

2. Plan the Week Ahead

I’m not about rigid schedules, but having a rough idea of what’s coming up helps. I check my calendar, jot down any key tasks, and mentally prepare for what’s ahead. It’s a small step that saves a lot of last-minute scrambling.

3. Sort My Mind

Sunday is my time to reflect—what went well last week? What didn’t? No deep self-analysis, just a quick check-in. Sometimes I journal, sometimes I just think about it while making a cup of tea. The goal is to step into Monday with a bit more clarity.

The Mountain is You

If you’re looking for a book that helps you break bad habits and build a stronger mindset, I highly recommend The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest. It’s all about overcoming self-sabotage and transforming your life perfect Sunday reading material!

4. Prioritise Rest

The biggest mistake? Using Sunday to cram in work or life admin without taking a breather. Whether it’s a long walk, a good book, or just watching something mindless, I make sure to switch off before the week starts again.

5. Set the Mood for Monday

Finally, I do something small to make Monday morning feel less brutal—lay out my clothes, prep a decent breakfast, or just make sure my alarm isn’t set to some jarring noise that’ll ruin my mood before I’m even awake.

That’s it. Nothing extreme, just a few simple habits that make Monday feel like less of a shock. Give it a try your future self will thank you.

What’s your go-to Sunday reset ritual? Let me know!

Remember, it all starts with self love
