5-Minute Tasks

[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]Clean Out Your Fridge

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Tossing out old food once a week means it’s a five minute task instead of a three hour, gag-inducing event once every few months.

Clean Out Your Bag

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

We’re looking’ at you receipts. Cleaning out your bag each weekend means you won’t be digging through piles of old papers every time you reach in to your bag. It also means you’ll be more organized and prepared for the week  ahead. Forgot to email that guy who gave you his business card this week? Good thing you found the card before his card got lost in the abyss for months.

Empty All of the Garbage Cans (and Recycling Bins!)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Dumping them now will make sure you aren’t running around on trash day chasing after the garbage men to take your smelly bags of old food and who knows what else.

Plan Your Week 

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Conference call Monday? Check. Lunch on Wednesday? Got it. There’s no problems here because you’ve got it all figured out and know exactly what you’re facing that week. It’s called Manic Monday for a reason. Try to make it less so with a tiny bit of preparation over the weekend, and then put that list away and don’t look at it again until Monday.

Schedule Your Workouts

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Did you know? You’re more likely to work out if you have it scheduled in a calendar. Commit to your health plan by putting in your calendar exactly when and how long you will be working out so you won’t be tempted to skip it later. Your workout is just as important as those other events on the calendar.

Pack for Your Workouts

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Pick out your gym clothes for the week so you can grab-n-go in the morning. You will have no excuses for not making it to the gym.

30+ Minute Tasks

[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]

Grocery Shop + Meal Prep

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Go grocery shopping and prep food for the entire week to save precious time during the week when you’re ready to crash by the end of the day. Prepping ahead of time also helps you save money when you’re too tired or busy to prepare a meal. Don’t forget healthy snacks and breakfasts to make your days even more seamless.

Take Some Time For Yourself

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Lay in bed an extra half-hour watching TV, read on the patio as the sun goes down, take a stroll through the park. Whatever it is you need to do for you, do it. You need to take the time to unwind and reconnect with yourself before the crazy week begins, or else you’re really going to feel the stress during the week.

Spend Time with Friends and Family

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Connecting with the ones you love over the weekend will help recharge you.

Get Outside

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Be sure to soak up some Vitamin D on the weekend to increase serotonin levels to make you feel happier and less stressed. Take a hike, go on a bike ride, or do yoga in the park to get back in touch with Mother Nature.

Do Some Laundry + Get Your Closet Back in Order

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Making sure you have clean clothes and an organized closet before the week starts will make your mornings run much smoother. Take it a step further by picking out outfits for every day of the week, and say goodbye to wasted time trying on seven different outfits.

Wash Your Sheets

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Climbing into a clean bed Sunday night before a long week just might be the most comforting thing ever.
