You’re so welcome Susan! I’m so happy to hear that you found it helpful! 🙂
Planning at least 3 main dish items for the work week that I can easily warm up at work. Making sure I have the fruit and vegies I need for each work day ready to go in baggies if possible or at least in the fridge to grab. Each evening I prep my food for both breakfast and lunch as well as my clothes and jewelry for the next day. Everything is as done as possible or items are out and handy (plate, knife for peanut butter, the jar of peanut butter, toaster and bread loaded into it). My work world is rather chaotic and unpredictable on a daily basis, so my home world must have order for me to function! I take care of the mail each day…sort, toss, or take care of right then so I don’t have piles and messes on the counter. At work I’ve found that taking time to make lists at the end of each week, if not each day, with what I need to get accomplished is well worth the 5 minutes it takes. Then I’m prepped and ready to go and I don’t forget things. It also helps me sleep better so I’m not worried about what is on my agenda. When my children were little, their clothes were always laid out and bags prepped the night before. We had a very structured routine. I even made a visual chart for one daughter so that she could independently check what she needed to do next so that I wasn’t nagging her and making her go more slowly which in turn angered me. That made our mornings much more pleasant! It seems overwhelming at first if you’re not a list-maker or ‘prepper’ but once in the habit, life goes more smoothly!
Hi Keri! I love the idea of a visual checklist for your daughter! I totally agree that a good daily habit makes life a lot simpler!
I don’t meal plan since I’m single and it’s never worked for me, but your other things? Totally. Sunday is also my facial steam day. I try to do it again later in the week, but that seldom happens. Sundays though, I put it on my mental must list just before I throw my weekly laundry load in.
Hi Gwen, I’m with you – I love a good steam too! If I skip it, I notice the difference on my skin. By the way, I think it’s totally acceptable that steams don’t happen in the week – that’s what Sundays are for! Good for you for taking advantage of that time.
For me sunday it’s deep cleaning day as during the week i’m very busy with the work. Bedsheets are changed, all laundry is getting done, moppind day as well. It’s also the day when i can take my time to get a full and nice breakfast, not like during the week where you have to rush to go job! It’s also my face mask day ( i use diatomaceous earth powder mix with water to make a past, it works wonder!). Unfortunately i really feel that sundays are really going too fast and we don’t get enough time to do all what we want ( if you get up late like me haha)

I absolutely clean out the fridge, do inventory, meal plan, and grocery shop on Sunday. Also make anything ahead, like double batches of healthy muffins for school lunches.
I love the idea of scheduling “me time”!
Hi Melissa! Double batches is such a good idea, if you’re already making the effort might as well maximise it! Plus muffins freeze so nicely too 🙂
