If Monday always feels rushed, Sunday likely lacks structure. A simple Sunday prep routine can dramatically reduce weekday stress.
Step 1: Plan the Week’s Meals
Spend 20 minutes mapping out four to five dinners. Write them down visibly so the family knows what to expect.
Step 2: School & Activity Prep
Check backpacks, refill supplies, and review the calendar. This eliminates morning surprises.
