The Sunday Reset: How to Set Your Week Up for Success
Why the Sunday Reset Works
If your week always seems to start in chaos - scrambling for clean uniforms, throwing together lunchboxes, forgetting what's in the fridge you're not alone.
That’s why we created the Sunday Reset: a simple, intentional way to prepare your space, your meals, and your mindset before the week even begins. It doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact, it’s designed to help you feel calm and in control, even when life is anything but.
How to Reset Your Week in 5 Simple Steps
1. Take 5 to Look Ahead
Start by checking your calendar. What’s coming up this week? Appointments, sports, events? Knowing what’s ahead helps you plan meals and routines that actually fit your real life.
2. Stocktake Your Kitchen
Open your pantry, fridge and freezer. What meals can you make with what’s already there? This one habit saves you money, reduces waste, and keeps the midweek panic at bay.
✨ Pro tip: Our chill range and labelled pantry containers make this step quick and satisfying!
3. Plan Your Meals + Lunchboxes
Write down 3–5 dinner ideas and prep lunchbox basics for the week. Keep it simple. Think wraps, leftovers, or anything freezer-friendly.
4. Write Your Shopping List
Now that your meals are planned, create a shopping list to fill the gaps. Group items by category (produce, fridge, pantry) to speed up the supermarket run.
5. Do a Quick Home Reset
Spend 15 minutes putting things back in place:
– Clear your bench
– Tidy one high-use area
– Restock lunchbox items
– Light a candle, take a breath
Bonus Tip: Plan Your Outfits for the Week
Outfit planning might seem small, but it can make a big difference, especially when you're trying to simplify your mornings. Laying out clothes the night before (or for the entire week) helps reduce decision fatigue and keeps bedrooms and wardrobes tidy.
You might plan:
– Kids' uniforms
– Your work outfits
– Gym or walking clothes
– Special occasion outfits
✨ Try grouping outfits together in your wardrobe using our velvet hangers — they save space and keep everything looking neat.
The Real Power of the Reset
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about creating a rhythm that helps you feel better - less cluttered, less stressed, more intentional.
At Simplify My Home, we believe wellness starts in the spaces we live in every day. When your home is calm and your systems work for you, you create more time for the things (and people) that matter most.
