Monday mornings are usually chaotic.
For example, you wake up late. Next, you can’t find your keys. Then, you realize you have no clean socks. Basically, you start the week already feeling behind.
But imagine waking up on Monday feeling calm. Your clothes are ready. Your coffee cup is waiting. You feel like a CEO of your own life.
You don’t need a life coach to achieve this. Instead, you just need a Sunday Reset Routine.
Stop Cleaning and Start “Resetting”
Most people spend their Sundays deep cleaning the bathroom or doing five loads of laundry. That is exhausting.
A “Reset” is different. It is not about scrubbing floors. Rather, it is about clearing the path for your future self.
Think of it like a restaurant closing shift. Specifically, they set the tables for the next day. This allows the morning crew to start fresh. You are doing the same thing for Monday-You.
The 3-Step Power Hour
You don’t need all day. Set a timer for 60 minutes. Here is exactly what to do.
1. The “Surface Sweep” (20 Minutes)
Visual clutter creates mental stress. If your counters are covered in mail and random cups, your brain feels scattered.
The Fix: Grab a laundry basket. Walk through every room. If something doesn’t belong there, throw it in the basket.
Then, clear off all flat surfaces. Wipe down the kitchen island. Clear the coffee table. Resetting the flat surfaces makes the whole house feel clean, even if the floors are dusty.
2. The “Decision Download” (20 Minutes)
Decision fatigue kills your Monday energy. Do not wait until Monday morning to decide what to wear or eat.
First, check the weather and pick 5 outfits for the week. Hang them at the front of the closet.
Second, decide on 3 dinners you will cook. You don’t have to prep them, just decide. Writing it down stops the panic later.
3. The “Tech Cleanser” (20 Minutes)
Your phone is probably full of screenshots you don’t need and tabs you forgot to close.
Delete the junk. Clear your desktop. Finally, put your devices on the charger so they are at 100% when you wake up. A dead battery on Monday morning is a recipe for disaster.
Common Questions About The Reset
Do I have to do this on Sunday?
No. Actually, you can do it on Friday afternoon before you clock out. Ideally, just do it before the new week starts.
What if I am too tired?
Set a timer for 15 minutes. Just do the “Surface Sweep.” Even a small reset helps.
Does this really help anxiety?
Yes. Usually, anxiety comes from the unknown. A reset gives you control over your environment.
Conclusion
Your Sunday Reset is a gift to yourself.
It turns Monday from a monster into a fresh start. So, take one hour this weekend to reset your space. Your future self will thank you.
