I tried a quick sunday rest last week and then did some "sunday reset tasks" today
and it's helped me so much already to maintain focus & have a smooth running house.
So the challenge is that
Today is about taking time to ensure the rest of the week a little easier & less hectic.
What have you done today to help you "reset" and start the week afresh?

It's definatly helped me out loads.
even doing 3 small jobs is better than nothing - I used to leave everything to pile up for the week and you can imagine it got very stressful.
I even now do some of those tasks in the week to make sure the house is manageable ahaWedding Fund: £1107.23 / £2,500 Xmas'18: £100.00 / £300.00 Emergency Fund: £100.00 / £1,000H2B ISA: £30.500 -

Am liking this thread.
I usually spend 1/2hr on a Sunday setting my objectives for the week, how they further my plans for the year and this really offers some focus. It's a great investment of time! I include relaxation activities, in this I include housework with the added treat of catching up on a good radio programme.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

ah thats good. I class my 'shower' as me time, cos I spend a bit longer in there to relax.
I used to stay in bed all day and let everything mount up but i now just potter around doing bits & bobs .
