How I Spend My Sunday

Sunday reset routine

My intentions for Sunday are to prepare for the upcoming week and relax by doing things for myself.

giving myself a guilt-free day off to do the things I want.

You start your Sunday with your intention and go from there

Plan what you will do based on these intentions

And I will start from the beginning of the day to the end,

Sharing what I do to have a productive yet recharging Sunday routine

Sunday morning routine

My intentions here are to start my morning in calm, slow, and cozy

Here is what I do:

I start my day with praying (spiritual activity), then lemon water, water, and coffee (hydrating my body)

Maybe journaling or reading affirmations(mindset alignment).

Then, watching something relaxing or reading (fun and relaxation)

I do the same thing for the rest of the week, except that i get straight to working after journaling 

Think of activities that will nourish your body, mind, and spirit to do here

productive Sunday routine

The productivity Sunday routine aims to prepare for the upcoming week. To have less stress or no stress if possible

How do I prepare for the next week

My preparation routine is as follows: 

1-I start by reviewing the past week

2-Then, planning the upcoming week, how?

I look at my monthly plan, decide what I will do from it (taking into account my energy and how much realistically I can get done),

and I add extra things if I have time for it

Then block time to it on my calendar or so i used to do that, but I have been using a to-do list alone without a calendar.

I only add 3 work tasks and 3 others, while keeping urgency through making mini challenges and pushing at the end of the month 

i am getting things done, and that’s what matters. So is my mental peace,

which ironically is what i feel using a to-do list right now, which, if you read my posts, you’d know I wasn’t a fan of

Now, i have found out that getting fixated on a method or a tool when it apparently isn’t working for me is a waste of time and stress-inducing.

Just because something worked once, that doesn’t mean it will work forever or vice versa

It’s ok to switch productivity methods, planning methods, tools,…etc, based on your needs and the season you are in.

if your productivity method/tool isn’t working for you, change it

Because the reason may be to your lack of results and productivity is the method/ tool you are using, it is not always your mindset

Getting back to the prep routine:

3-Sometimes, I do ingredients prep for the week, but I always prep recipes, so I don’t waste time wondering what to eat

4-tidying my space and cleaning some stuff

Sunday evening routine

The intentions here are winding down and getting ready for a wonderful sleep to start Monday strong

So, here are my favourite things to do :

I started with brushing my teeth using Dr. Ellie Phillips‘ Complete Mouth Care System (health activity)

After that, I do my Skincare. which is minimal, I start by cleansing, applying toner, serum, and end with moisturizer (health and well-being activity)

all the while watching something in the background

Then, prep bed, duaa/pray (spiritual activity)

Lastly, I get to bed and read, then sleep (health activity)

Think of activities that will help you wind down and relax

At the end, setting intention is the most important thing to spend Sunday the way you want

I get the most out of Sunday by setting intentions and then planning activities based on that.

Otherwise, I’ll waste it on nothing I want

I prefer to do things to nourish my body, mind, and soul

So, think about your intention(s). Is it to recharge, prepare, have fun, or otherwise?

Then, plan what you will do accordingly

However, you spend your Sunday-lazy, productive, or somewhere in between

Just take a moment to reset/prep before Monday
