10 Things To Do On Sunday For An Amazing Week

If you want to make the most out of life, start your week a little earlier! Here are 10 things to do on Sunday to have the most amazing week ever.

10 things to do on Sunday for an amazing week. Have a more productive week by starting a day earlier! If you’re struggling with getting organized, being productive, achieving your goals and saying good bye to procrastination - these productivity tips can help. Starting these easy Sunday habits can really make a difference! | daily habits | morning habits | morning routine | time management tips #productivity #productive #habits


The concept of making the most out of every moment is really fascinating to me. As a new(er) mom being aware of my time and priorities is crucial.

Reason?

Once you become a parent time just seems to fly. We’re talking, finding 2 minutes to brush your teeth and comb your hair is a real struggle. After all, now you have to do it all for someone else. Someone who’s way cuter than you, isn’t even a puppy and can’t clip his own scratchy nails.

You really start to value the 2 hours that kid is napping.

Something that really helps me stay organized, productive and basically not lose my mind – is starting my week on Sunday.

10 Things To Do On Sunday For A Great Week

To make life a little bit easier and to set myself up for a great week, I try to do these 10 super simple, but important things every Sunday. I highly encourage you to try them as well, if you haven’t already.


1. Review Last Week

See what you’ve done last week. What went well, what went wrong? This is so important for productivity. Learning from experience is gold and can teach you a lot! And I’ve found it can help reduce stress and overwhelm. This has been a game changer.

Even if you didn’t do everything you wanted, you can see – you didn’t just lay there wasting your time. You achieved a lot, dealt with unexpected things and while you might not have reached your all goals yet, you came closer to them. So take a moment to write down what went well, what went wrong.

When you see that you’ve actually done things during the last week, you’re going to be more motivated to keep going the next week. It will also help you get more focused, more aware of your time and more organized.


2. Set 2-3 Goals For The Next Week

You probably have a few goals for the year, for the next 90 days, maybe even for the month, but having 2-3 weekly goals can keep you really focused and will help you set your priorities right. This is crucial if you want to get things done and get ahead.


3. Make A To Do List

Once you have your 2-3 goals for the week, make a to-do list including tasks that will help you achieve those goals.

For example, if your goal is to write 2 blog posts during that week, your to-do list can include:

  • draft blog post
  • make images for the blog post
  • create a pin for the blog post
  • edit and schedule blog post

You do this for all the blog posts you want to have done that week. And when you do your review on Sunday, you can see whether you achieved that goal or made progress on it.

WARNING: Don’t go crazy with your to do list, keep it realistic, so you don’t self-sabotage.

Some people find it helpful to actually schedule their to do’s in a calendar. I’m not one of them, because my days are very unpredictable. However, when you keep a weekly to-do list and know your priorities, you make sure to do what needs to get done first.


4. Schedule Appointments In Your Calendar

If you haven’t already, Sunday is a great time to see whether you’ve made any appointments for the week ahead and schedule them in your calendar.

This way there are no unexpected surprises, you don’t miss out on events or doctor’s appointments.

I highly recommend if you don’t have a planner yet to get one like this. It can truly make your life so much better!

It’s called the LifePlanner and using it can increase your productivity, time management and it’s highly customizable! You can take a look through the pages and learn more about the LifePlanner here.


5. Do Little Things You Didn’t Get To

This means do the laundry you didn’t do on Thursday, clean your house, pay the bills… These are all tasks that don’t take long, but will free some mental space. And mental space is everything when it comes to starting your week fresh on Monday.


6. Meal Prep Or Meal Plan

If you don’t mind eating older food, meal prepping can be a great option for you. It’s basically preparing healthy meals ahead for the next 3-4 days and keeping them in the fridge. Then when you’re hungry, you get your meal out and eat it. You can meal prep lunch, breakfast or dinner, or if you’re really motivated – everything.

Another way to meal prep is to prepare single ingredients (<- the option I actually prefer). So if you want to have chicken, you cook your chicken ahead. You want to have lentils, you cook your lentils ahead. Once you have those single ingredients ready, you can make dinner in 10 minutes and it tastes fresh. That’s how I made this super delicious and healthy Greek chicken wrap.


Or, Meal Kit Delivery!

If you prefer to eat fresh food, that’s also healthy, but don’t want to spend hours searching for recipes and grocery shopping, try a meal prep service like Sun Basket. They have a variety of meal plans including:

  • Clean eating
  • Mediterranean
  • Plant-Based

If you’d like to give Sun Basket a try, you can get up $35 off your order right now!


7. Plan Fun Activities For The Week

I so feel like Monica from Friends right now! Like planning fun? But you do, you do need to plan something fun to do during the week. Because when you have goals, kids and so much going on, it’s very easy to forget life can and needs to be fun.

You need time to destress.

Also, when you plan those fun activities, you make sure to do something different, interesting, something that will make memories. This way your month doesn’t turn into a blur of only overworking yourself. You need those fun activities to recharge, so you can be more productive.


8. Create A Workout Plan

If you’re like me, you must know how important exercise is. It’s not just about losing weight or looking like a model, it’s about feeling better physically and mentally. A morning workout can really change your day putting you in a more positive and proactive state.

That being said… If I don’t have a workout plan for the week, I end up skipping exercising altogether. Therefore, on Sunday – I decide which workouts I want to do during the week.

Am I going to a class, out for a walk, meeting with a friend to exercise together or doing yoga at home?

I personally prefer to do yoga at home and I’d try some Pilates and barre here and there. If you want to do yoga at home, it’s pretty easy – you don’t need to be an expert. You can search for videos on Youtube or join My Yoga Works – which is an online platform with over 1,000 yoga classes that are suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced. The good thing about My Yoga Works is that they not only offer classes, but also structured programs that you can follow.

To join My Yoga Works you can start with their free trial here, and if you really like it you can save some money after the 14 days by using my link to get your first 3 months for $1/mo with the code YOGA3.


9. Relax And Recharge

Speaking of recharge, Sunday is a good day to do it. Don’t take too long with the other activities on this list. Take your time to have some fun with your family or friends, watch a movie, read a book or hike if the weather is good! Do something memorable!


10. Go To Bed Early

Waking up early, whether you’re a mom or not, makes a huge difference. You can get ready, work out and finish things before anyone else is awake. But you have to start the night before.

This means, Sunday night go to bed early, so you can actually wake up rested on Monday and have a productive start of the week.
