Five things to do on a Sunday evening

The shops are closed, the weather is miserable, and dare I say it, tomorrow is Monday. It feels like you have put off a million things until now. But, my modest list will help you feel more organised and energised for the week ahead.



ONE: Plan
Really get a sense of what is coming up this week by looking at your diary. Fill in anything you have already forgotten and put any ‘to-do’s’ in a sticky on your desktop. This way you can start the week with everything visibly in front of you. Planning any travel arrangements you may need to in advance. Make sure to put some fun things in there as well, a coffee with mates, or even a quick visit to the shops. Get that work-life balance under control from the start.

TWO: Switch off
Get rid of all of that high energy weapon of mass distraction. Put your phone on ‘do not disturb’, and shut the lid of your laptop. Not only will this help you slowly switch off your brain (hopefully), but it will also banish those nasty blue lights, making it easier to drift off to sleep.

THREE: Pack
Is there any greater joy than jumping out of bed and everything being ready for you? Of course there isn’t. I find by packing my lunch, putting everything in my bag and pulling out some clothes for tomorrow really makes me feel as though I have every ready to go. Hopefully making the morning that bit easier.

FOUR: Indulge
You know that chocolate sitting at the back of the fridge, or that cake you have lying around, (as you can tell from the image I had a gorgeous berry muffin) it's time to have a bite. There is no better time for a little indulgence than on a Sunday evening. Really treat yourself, put on a face mask and feel like you are the most important person in the world, because you are.

FIVE: Read
You have time to, pull out a book or magazine, get under the blanket and start reading. With your chocolate in tow, and a hot drink of your choice, being transported to a different time and fully immersed in the richness of the word on the page can be the welcome distraction you need. 

I hope you have an amazing week.
