Scene: Avni is on the living room couch watching tv

She’s enjoying the entertaining show with a glass of wine, feeling so relaxed and at ease. She glances at the clock and notices it’s almost 6:00pm. All of a sudden her heart sinks as she fully embraces the weight of the realization. It’s SUNDAY. The week begins tomorrow. The time for rest has ended. The to do list of things she needs to complete starts forming in her mind.

The Sunday Scaries.

Every week I was behind, constantly trying to catch up. Whether it was items on my to do list or making progress in my goals. I felt like I was in a stalemate of my own life.

Taking a few hours to “Sunday” allowed me to start the week off prepared, organized, and even excited. Mondays turned into one of my favorite days of the week and all it took was preparing. I understand how difficult in can be to carve out time when schedules and plans change constantly but I try to make it a point to spend a few hours planning my week ahead. If I have weekend plans, then it can be done Friday night.
