Creating Capacity: Setting Yourself Up for the Week Ahead

How do you give yourself a headstart for the week ahead?

In our household, Sunday late afternoon is prep time. We meal prep and get everything ready for the week ahead—school bags, work essentials, and healthy grab-and-go options for busy weekdays. It’s not about perfection; it’s about easing the pressure of Monday mornings and setting a smoother tone for the days to come.

Once the prep is done, Sunday evenings are all about relaxed family time. We pause, unwind, and enjoy the calm before the week begins.

This small habit creates capacity by reducing stress and helping us focus on what matters.
