The Sunday reset: 30 minutes for a calmer week

Monday mornings feel very different when Sunday evening has done a little of the work. This reset takes about 30 minutes, and the whole family can help.

Ten minutes: the calendar

Look at the week ahead together. Clubs, appointments, PE days, non-uniform days. Write them on a big family calendar where everyone can see.

Ten minutes: clothes and bags

Uniform out for Monday, PE kits packed, book bags by the door. Anything missing gets found tonight, not at 8.30am.

Five minutes: food

Check the meal plan, move something from the freezer to the fridge for Monday, and make sure there's bread for lunches.

Five minutes: something for you

A cup of tea, a bath, a chapter of a book. A calmer week starts with a mum who's had a moment to breathe.
