With every new week is an opportunity to reset your goals, priorities, and rhythms to be as prepared to enter it with a refreshed perspective and posture. Why is this important? Being prepared will give you the margin to show up better for those around you, and more focused on the work you’re committed to. Your relationships and your work will get you at your best.

Here are 3 practical ways to make a weekly reset routine:

Mindful Moments: When your weekend comes to a close, this is a great time to start your weekly reset routine. Spend some time reflecting on your week: what goals did you meet, who did you connect well with, what’s something you’re celebrating? Reflecting well helps you to mindfully make that step out of the week you’ve just gone through and into the weekend before the next week.
Weekend Wind-Down: This is where you get to reconnect with yourself, with God, and with others. Instead of catching up or working ahead on the weekend, take time to wind-down in a way that celebrates what you’ve accomplished, acknowledges the good around you, and builds joy in you! Whether that’s sharing a meal with loved ones, going on an evening walk, spending time reading on the porch or at a coffee shop, find ways to engage with people, rhythms, and spaces that bring you life.
Productive Planning: Grab a cup of coffee, sit down with your calendar, and outline your goals for the week - but only start with your Big Three. Maybe you have a Big Three for work, for home, and for socializing. This’ll help you sharpen your priorities, know how to direct your effort, and keep away from being overwhelmed by too many tasks upfront. If it helps, set a timer. Make this time intentional and focused, but unable to take up your whole day.

Productivity and efficiency are important, and so are relational connectivity and overall health (emotional, mental, physical). How you make your weekly reset routine your own is up to you! It may take some trial and error to find what works best for you, so be patient with yourself and enjoy the process!
