| Weekend Reset A 5-Step Sunday Routine That Sets Up a Productive Week |
What if they actually felt like a soft launch into your best week?
Enter: the Weekend Reset. Think of it as your go-to Sunday routine that clears your mind, resets your space, and recharges your energy.
Here are 5 easy, feel-good steps that make Monday feel way less scary—and maybe even a little exciting.
Step 1: Skincare = Self-Care
You’ve been running around all weekend. Sunday is the day to treat your skin (and yourself).
Try this ritual:
Remove makeup or sunscreen with a gentle oil cleanser
Follow up with a calming cleanser (like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser)
Apply a detox mask (clay if you’re oily, hydrating if you’re dry)
Finish with a rich moisturizer or facial oil
Bonus: Do your skincare in silence or with a chill playlist. It’s less about the products and more about slowing down.
Step 2: Declutter One Space
Don’t try to clean your whole house. Pick one space—like your nightstand, desk, or bathroom counter—and give it a 10-minute reset.
Mini declutter steps:
Toss trash, expired products, and empty cups
Wipe down surfaces
Put things back in their place (yes, that drawer too)
It’s amazing how much calmer you feel when your space isn’t screaming for attention.
Step 3: Digital Detox + Plan Your Week
Take 30 minutes to disconnect. Log off TikTok, pause your group chat, and open your planner or Notes app.
Reset with purpose:
Brain dump your to-dos
Schedule any appointments or deadlines
Make a rough plan for meals, workouts, or goals
Pro tip: Use a Sunday-specific planner template or try the "3-3-3 method": 3 priorities, 3 habits, 3 things you’re excited for this week.
Step 4: Ground Yourself with a Ritual
Create a ritual that tells your brain, “Hey, we’re resetting now.” It can be anything, as long as it brings peace.
Ideas:
Light a candle and sip herbal tea
Take a slow shower with eucalyptus or lavender
Journal for 10 minutes
Stretch while listening to a podcast
The ritual is the point. It grounds you and closes out the weekend with intention.
Step 5: Do One Thing That Fills Your Cup
End your Sunday with something that brings joy. Not productivity. Not self-improvement. Just pure, feel-good joy.
Examples:
Watch your comfort show (again)
Take yourself out for a matcha or treat
Call someone who makes you laugh
Do absolutely nothing—guilt-free
Refilling your emotional tank sets the tone for everything else.
Final Thoughts: Sunday Is a Fresh Start, Not a Deadline
Your Sunday doesn’t need to be a mad dash to get your life together. It can be soft. It can be slow.
It can feel like you.
The goal of a Weekend Reset isn’t perfection—it’s peace. It’s about setting yourself up, not stressing yourself out. Try these five steps, tweak them to fit your flow, and watch how Mondays get a whole lot easier.
