I love Sundays but I also have a terrible habit of wasting the day. Do you find yourself rushing on Monday morning trying to get everything done? What if I told you Mondays didn’t have to be that way?
Making the most of my spare time on a Sunday has made me much more productive and allows me time to focus on bigger projects during the week.
If you feel like you never have enough time to do #allthethings try these 15 Sunday habits to make your week more manageable and enjoyable.
Write out your to do list for the day
Everyday, while I eat breakfast, I take 5- 10 minutes to write down my to do list. Having a to do list will help you become more organised.
Plan your week
Dentist appointments, haircuts, and coffee dates. In your diary or on a calendar, plan your appointments, work days and any other important tasks.
Schedule your important tasks
Let me guess, you have 50 million things that need doing but you don’t have time.
Plan your meals
Meal planning is something I am trying my hardest to do for both my finances and peace of mind. Having your means planned will allow you more time to do the important tasks on your to do list.
Plan your outfits
How long do you spend standing in front of your wardrobe choosing something to wear. My guess is its too long.
Create a morning routine
Creating a morning routine can help you feel energized and productive throughout the week.

I been enjoying my weekends more now. I use to work 90+ hours a week just to please the Google Gods, but then realize they don’t know that I been working 90+ hours a week it’s not like they will reward me for doing that. So I cut back my hours and I been more productive during the week and enjoy the weekends.
I used to do all of this. It’s so hard to stick to, but I think I may start again. 😊
I agree about not using electronics before bed because the blue light effects your sleep.
This is such a good list. I have 3 day weekend coming up. I am deep cleaning this house, getting all my laundry done and spending Sunday planning for the week. I will keep this in mind. I pinned it to my productivity board.
