Sundays are a day of rest for some and a day of productivity for others. Sunday is very much a relaxing day and one where people gather over a lovely dinner with their loved ones or simply spend it preparing for the week ahead to make the rest of the week easier. Here are some top things to try and do on Sundays to make it a lot better for you, whether you want to relax or be productive.

Declutter and organize

One thing you can do on a Sunday is tackling an area of your home, which needs good decluttering or to be organized. It could be going through all of your kitchen cupboards, looking out for out-of-date items which may need to be thrown away, it could be going for your wardrobe and finding pieces that fit you anymore, or that you’re never going to wear and you could either donate them to a good cause, see if family or friends with them or if they’re no good, you could just throw them away. if you have a particular messy cupboard in the kitchen like your cleaning cupboard, for example, you could organize that and put it into different baskets and sections, so everything is easier to access.

Batch cook some meals for the week ahead

During the week sometimes you can spend a lot of time cooking meals. If you want to have healthy home-cooked meals every day of the week you could spend over an hour each day, potentially cooking. However, if you dedicate some time on a Sunday, you could prepare things for the week ahead, so that all you need to do on the day is either warm it up or assemble the meal and then cook it. You can also try new things so you could look at how to make Salisbury steaks or dauphinoise potatoes. You could also make breakfast muffins for the week, so you’ve got it on the go breakfast ready to hand, cook up some grains, peel and chop any vegetables that you’ll need to use during the week.

Get Out In Nature

I love a great thing to do on a Sunday is to get outdoors. Being in nature can help with anxiety and stress and help you feel calmer. It’s also great to get some fresh air in your lungs and away from a busy city and things like car fumes. It’s a great thing to do by yourself or with all of the family. If you take the family, it could be made fun with things like nature scavenger hunts or stopping and having a picnic in the woods, there are so many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Write Your Weekly To-Do List

To be organized for the week ahead. If you write out your weekly to-do list, this will help you organize what you’re going to do on what day, and you are more likely to get things done. If you fail to plan you can plan to fail. So being organized and writing a to-do list is very beneficial.
