Sunday Reset: 5 Simple Ways to Start Your Week Fresh

01/05/2025 | Tips

At RoomingKos, we believe that a good week starts with a good Sunday. Whether you’re juggling uni deadlines, part-time work, or just figuring out life away from home, a simple Sunday reset can bring a sense of calm and clarity.

Here are five easy ways to reset your space, mindset, and energy so you can walk into Monday feeling a little more together and a lot more refreshed.

1. Reset Your Space

A tidy space really does mean a tidier mind.
Take 15 – 20 minutes to make your bed, clear your desk, put laundry away, or take out the trash. You don’t have to deep clean, just create a space that feels fresh and livable.

Pro tip: Put on a feel-good playlist or podcast to make it feel less like a chore.

2. Plan the Week Ahead

Even just writing down your top 3 priorities for the week can make a big difference.

Whether it’s an assignment, a shift at work, or a personal goal, having a plan gives your week a purpose and reduces that “Sunday scaries” feeling.

Bonus: If you’re a visual person, a weekly planner or calendar can really help make things feel manageable.

3. Prep One or Two Meals

We’re not talking full-on meal prep here.
Just chop some veggies, prep your overnight oats, or cook one easy meal that’ll get you through the start of the week. It’ll save you time, money, and mental energy, especially on busy Mondays.

4. Do One Thing That Feels Good

This one’s just for you.
Take a hot shower. Put on a face mask. Read a few pages of that book you’ve been ignoring. You deserve a moment that isn’t about productivity, just peace and some “me” time. Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s a smart move.

5. Sleep Early (Even Just a Little Earlier)

An early night doesn’t just help your Monday as it can set the tone for your whole week.
Try winding down without your phone, dim the lights, and create a small ritual: tea, journaling, meditation, whatever helps you feel settled.

A calm Sunday night means a smoother Monday morning.

You don’t need to have everything figured out, just a few small rituals to reset and recharge. Whether you do all five or just one, the goal is simple: feel a little more grounded, a little more prepared, and a lot more like yourself.
