My ideal Sunday consists of a little bit of everything – fun, relaxation, and getting stuff done to get ready for the week. I like to wake up when I wake up (no alarm!) and forget about the concept of time. Do things at my own speed, in my own time.
It’s a reset button.
I’m sharing my Sunday checklist. It’s a helpful guide for me to recall “all the things”, but I don’t always check off everything and I don’t give myself a hard time if I choose to focus in one category. Or do nothing at all. 🙂
Around the house:
 
- Put stuff away/ in it’s place
- Step 1: Walk around the house, room to room, looking for items not in their place
- Step 2: Put them in their place
- Step 3: If they don’t have a “home”, an assigned or designated place, create one or get rid of it
- Laundry (includes bed sheets and towels)
- Fresh sheets on bed, fresh towels in bath
- Fold and put away clothes
- Empty laundry basket to start the week
- Take out the trash (entire house)
- Clear off desk/ organize papers
- Clean bathrooms
- Sink counter
- Toilet
- Bath tub (in preparation for a relaxing bath to end the day)
- Clear off and wipe down surfaces: kitchen counters, dining room table, living room, coffee table and end tables
- Mow the lawn and other outdoor maintenance
- Paul mows front, I mow backyard (or one of us does the entire yard)
Family Time:
- Morning coffee and brunch with Paul (goetta breakfast sandwiches, please!!)
- Take an afternoon dip in the pool
- Play with puppy outside
- Cook dinner together and eat outside if it’s nice
- Watch an episode of Star Trek before bed
Prep for the week:
- Pick out outfits for the week
- Entire outfit hung up together in closet
- Chosen based on weather forecast
- Includes workout clothes, socks and shoes
- Lunches planned, organized in the fridge, and ready to throw in my bag
- Dinners planned, deciding what nights we’ll cook vs. eat out
- Work bag and purse emptied, organized, and repacked
- Discuss upcoming week schedule with Paul
- Coffee maker programmed and ready to brew (daily)
Rest and recharge:
- Morning yoga and meditation (daily)
- Take a nap if I have time
- Relaxing bath before bed = my reward
