Weekend Reset Routine

How I start my week off right.

Weekends are super important to me. I spend a lot of time out of the house during the week. I’m always on the go, driving kids around, running errands, appointments, and meetings. This weekend routine has evolved and grown out of my need to start Mondays off on the right foot.

I focus on four different aspects: Home, Review/Reflect, Plan, and Relax.

First, I take a look at my google calendar. As I book appointments and meetings throughout the week, they all go on my google calendar as my phone is the easiest at hand when I’m leaving doctor’s appointments or booking over the phone. I double-check that I don’t have any conflicting appointments, then write them all down on my weekly plan.

Second, I look at the deadlines I have for that week. There are certain deadlines that are set in hard stone, ie the ones for my paying clients. Then I have my soft…
