Sunday Reset for College Students (Easy Checklist)
Sundays can either set you up for a smooth week or leave you scrambling to catch up.
A Sunday reset is a simple way to clean up your space, plan ahead, and take care of yourself before Monday hits.
It doesn’t have to be complicated—just a checklist of small tasks that make a big difference.
Whether you’re tackling laundry, meal prepping, or organizing your assignments, a solid reset routine helps you feel in control.
Here’s an easy Sunday reset checklist for college students to help you start the week fresh and stress-free.
1. Clean Your Space
A cluttered space makes it harder to focus.
Take 20 minutes to clean up your room, make your bed, and wipe down your desk.
If your laundry is piling up, now’s the time to throw in a load.
A fresh, organized space makes Monday feel less overwhelming.
2. Plan Your Week
Open your planner, notes app, or calendar and map out the week.
Write down deadlines, upcoming events, and anything else you need to remember.
If you don’t have a system yet, now’s a good time to set one up.
Keeping a simple schedule makes it easier to stay on top of everything without last-minute stress.
3. Prep Your Meals (Or At Least Plan Them)
If you’re cooking for yourself, meal prepping saves time and money.
Even if you don’t meal prep, planning what you’ll eat helps avoid last-minute fast food runs.
Stock up on easy meals and snacks so you have something ready when the week gets busy.
4. Reset Your Digital Space
A messy laptop or phone can be just as distracting as a messy room.
Take a few minutes to clear notifications, delete old files, and organize your schoolwork.
If your inbox is overflowing, now’s a good time to go through it.
A fresh digital space makes it easier to focus when you need to.
5. Watch a "Day in My Life" Video for Motivation
Sometimes, the best way to get in the right mindset is to watch someone else’s routine.
I made a Day in the Life video to walk you through my Sunday reset and show you how I prepare for the week.
Seeing how others structure their day can give you new ideas or just some motivation to start.
6. Take Care of Yourself
A reset isn’t just about productivity—it’s also about feeling good.
Take a long shower, do your skincare routine, or make your favorite drink.
If you’ve been running on low energy, set aside time to relax before Monday.
A simple self-care moment makes the whole reset feel more enjoyable.
7. Set the Tone for the Week
Decide on a small goal for the week ahead.
It could be waking up earlier, drinking more water, or staying off your phone in class.
Writing it down or saying it out loud makes it more likely to stick.
