Say goodbye to the Sunday scaries because there's enough in life thats hard without one of the best days of the week being ruined. Sundays are also the perfect time to hit the reset button and prepare for a successful new week. It’s not just about tidying up and getting organised but also about taking care of yourself. Here’s your guide to a productive and refreshing Sunday reset.

1. Batch Cooking and Meal Prep

Batch cooking and meal prepping can save you time during the week, keep your nutrition plan in check and keep you away from Deliveroo.

  • Menu Planning: Create a simple menu for the week that will taste as good on the last day as the first. Think tagines, soups, stews, roasted vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy snacks. Some salads can last for a couple of days but realistically not the whole week.
  • Cooking Session: Spend a couple of hours preparing, chopping, making dressings basically as much as you can do that will save you time but also stay fresh. Store them in glass containers, ready to grab and go throughout the week.

2. Refresh Your Space

Get rid of clutter, piles of laundry, and dishes on the draining board. A clean home not only sets the tone for a productive week but makes you feel less stressed and definitely more luxurious.

  • Speed Clean: Set a visible timer for however long you have to clean, for example it takes around 60-70 minutes to clean a 1 bedroom apartment. This keeps you in check and stops you from getting distracted.
  • Aromatherapy: Finish with your favourite scent. Light a candle or a diffuser with essential oils from Montroi.

It's almost like we deserve some aimless scrolling, online shopping or Netflix time after being so productive

3. Selfcare Sunday

Take some time for self-care that not only makes you feel bougie but also keeps everything on brand for the week. Here's our usual Sunday selfcre

  • Full body exfoliation and dry brush
  • Hair removal and eyebrow tidy
  • Hair treatments, deep conditioning and growth masks
  • Face mask
  • Full body skincare, we love face products for body care
  • Mani pedi

We also love Sundays for dermatologist appointments, massages, blow drys etc.

4. Take Time to Relax and Recharge

It's almost like we deserve some aimless scrolling, online shopping or Netflix time after being so productive. Here's some ideas for the ultimate Sunday session.

  • Detox Bath: Run a bath with Epsom salts and essential oils, prop up your favourite Netflix show or the latest from Kevin Kwan.
  • Netflix Binge: Put on your most comfortable loungewear and watch a show you love without any of the guilt. Have some vibey snacks on hand like some of these popcorn recipes.
  • Drinks with Friends: With a perfectly tidy home and everything ready for the week, put your pyjamas on and invite your best friends over for Prosecco and a charcuterie board.

5. Weekly Planning

Plan your week efficiently using tried and tested methods.

  • Three Lists: Create a to-do list, a social list, and a self-care list. This helps you balance the different areas of your life.
  • Time Blocking: Schedule specific times for tasks, meetings, and self-care activities. Use colour coded blocks in your planner or digital calendar.
  • Goal Setting: Set clear, achievable goals for the week. Track your progress and celebrate small victories.

These Sunday reset rituals, will help you start the week feeling organised and refreshed. Embrace habits to reduce stress and increase productivity, ensuring you’re ready to tackle whatever comes your way. Here’s to no more Sunday scaries.
