Take some time to sit down and organize the week ahead of you. What else are Sundays for (besides sleeping in). Here are 5 things I do every Sunday, if not every day:
Clean out your inbox
Inboxes can get chaotic. Especially if your signed up for hundreds of shopping website e-mails like I am (oops). So it is important to purge your mailbox of any non-important items, or any items that don't need responding to anymore. It always feels better to check your email went you don't see outlying emails from the weeks prior.
Write out weekly goals
Key word here is WRITE. Tangible checklists are much more likely to be attended to rather than the one sitting on that app...in that folder... that you never go in to anyways. Yeah, point made. In addition, physically checking a goal or list item off is so much more satisfying than deleting it off your notes or whatever app you may use. And you can pin it in a place you go regularly, your desk, your front door, a bulletin board.
Clean
Everybody is more productive in a clean environment. I use my Sundays to clean my dorm; I make my bed, clear my desk off, throw out old papers, do laundry, clean my sheets, etc.
Check your calendar
Sure you put tons of events in your calendar a couple weeks ago, but it's good to refresh your memory of the week you have ahead of you. It makes it easier to plan the non-calendar events, like hanging out with friends, going to the gym, etc.
Organize your desk
File loose papers, de-clutter desk drawers, clean out you school or work bag if need be. It helps keep everything archived and create a clean atmosphere to think clearly in, rather than being distracted by every trinket or loose paper floating around.
