Check out these 12 strategies to help put your mind at ease and reclaim control of your Sundays again.

1. Plan Out Your Week

We tend to feel a lot of discomfort and unease when it comes to being confronted with the unknown. So it can be really beneficial to dedicate some time on Sunday (or another day!) to plan out your upcoming week.

There’s no need to budget down to the minute or fill every moment of your day. But by getting big tasks on your calendar and a must-do to-do list, you can see how to schedule your time.

It can also help determine if there’s anything you need to reevaluate.

When you look at your week and realize you’re spread too thin, try to readjust some of the deadlines or even practice saying no more frequently.
