Why You Should Start the Week on Sunday

As busy moms, it can be tricky to find the time to fit everything into our weekly schedule. 

Juggling work, parenting, and other commitments can make it difficult to find the energy and motivation to stay organized and productive. 

However, one way to make sure you get the most out of your week is to start it on a Sunday. 

Here are some reasons why you should start your week on a Sunday and how it can help busy moms prioritize their time for maximum efficiency. 

Start on a Sunday and Relax

If you’re like me you probably have a to-do list for Sunday as long as your arm 🙂 

Even with the best intentions of trying to keep up with the chores and kids and work during the week, it’s always Sunday who bears the biggest brunt.

But not to worry, there is a way you CAN get ahead of your tasks to make Monday just that much more bearable.  And you guessed it, you have to organise and plan.

Sundays are a great opportunity to plan out the upcoming week. By taking just a few minutes to sit down and plan out your schedule for the upcoming week, you can ensure that you will have a plan of attack for the days to come. 

This can help you to stay organized and make sure that you have time to complete all of your tasks. 

Taking a few minutes to plan out your schedule also gives you time to make sure that you don’t forget any important appointments or tasks.

I know it makes my life easier, and I’m hoping it can help you too.

Taking time to get your errands and chores done can help to make sure that you are prepared for the week ahead. 

This can help to free up more time during the week for you to focus on work or other tasks.

I usually like to brain dump everything I know is waiting on me to do. Once done, see how much time you have that day.

If there isn’t enough time, leave for next Sunday or, better yet, delegate. 

I can appreciate that it’s hard for you to reach out for help but you don’t want to be frustrated at the end of the day because you didn’t get things done because of you’re I’m a superwoman attitude.

Let go of pride and delegate! Sure, the people you live with will not like you for it, but they’ll get over it.

You’ll also be letting them know who’s boss and that you’re in control.

Now you’re left with your own chores, what to tackle first?

My advice, take the first 3 tasks off the top of your list (chances are they’re the most relevant anyway).

If you want to make an end to wasting food in your house and not having to worry about meals every single day, then meal prepping is the way to go.

You can either do this yourself or use some outside help if your budget allows it.

Start with the $5 Meal Plan if you don’t know where to begin. Meal Planning is a whole task in itself, it can take 5 minutes once you’ve gotten used to making it and found your tempo.

If you do them, you’ll feel accomplished, but also it might motivate you to get the other things on your list done too. 

But if you like to go minimal and not dump everything from your head into a list, you can always pick the task you’re dreading the most.

Why? Because believe me, if you’ve accomplished that, it will make the whole of next week seem much lighter.

Now relax, you’ve earned it. I always like to get these tasks out of the way early in the morning so I have the remainder of the day for leisure.

Also make sure you leave a slot for pampering yourself, whether it be a long bath or a hobby that brings you enjoyment, anything goes.

Taking time to sit down and relax can help you to stay focused throughout the week.

 By taking time to clear your mind and relax, you can ensure that you will be in the right frame of mind to tackle the tasks ahead. 

This can help to reduce stress and increase productivity. 

When you’eve completed your tasks you’ll be in a better mood to spend quality time with your family.

Without the additional stress, taking the time to spend with your family can create bonds between family members. 

This can help to make the week go smoother and give you a sense of satisfaction from spending quality time with your family. 

Sundays are also a great time to work on any projects or tasks that you have been putting off. 

Taking time on Sundays to work on tasks that you have been putting off can help to make sure that they are completed before the week starts. 

This can help to make sure that you are not overwhelmed during the week and can focus on the tasks that need to be completed. 

Taking time to plan out your week, relax, spend time with your family, and get your chores and errands done can help to give you a sense of satisfaction that you are prepared for the week ahead and have everything under control. 

Overall, starting your week on a Sunday can help busy moms stay organized and productive. 

Starting your week on a Sunday can be a great way to make sure that you get the most out of your time and stay productive throughout the week.
