How To Do A Full Weekly Reset: Better Your Weeks!
Weekly reset guide:
We are breaking this down by the major areas that you can (and probably should be tbh) resetting each week-
Reset your home:
The first idea is probably the most obvious but definitely an essential item to add to your weekly reset process.
This will be a lot of different little items and what things you need to clean weekly will be dependent on your life, home, kids, etc.
If you are struggling to think of what tasks you should add to your weekly routine then think back to the cleaning you have done in the past month. What chores do you normally only do a few times a month? Those are probably the items to add to your weekly reset!
This is definitely one of the good habits that you should get into to work on having better weeks and of course having a cleaner home.

A little decluttering is helpful with this too!
Committing at least a little time weekly for getting clutter out of your home you will find that it becomes easier and easier. Resulting in a less cluttered home in the long run! This can also just be generally getting things like packaging and random papers your kids brought into the house. Whatever will help make you and your home feel reset and ready for the upcoming week.

Reset finances:
The next idea is one that will really help you stay on top of your finances and spending.
If you keep an eye on your bills and spending every week rather than once or twice a month it will help you stay financially organized and can help you stick to your budget better.
There are a lot of systems and tools you can use for budgeting and paying bills- online or on apps. Or if you prefer you can grab a financial organizer like this if you are a pen and paper type of person.
Reset meals:
Grocery shopping, meal planning, grocery list.
This can be 1, 2, or 3 different reset routine items depending on your life and needs. But making a set day for meal planning, making a grocery list, and grocery shopping (again could be different days!) can really help you stay organized each week.
This helps you form habits that you help you be more organized. And if you live with others it helps when they know the routine as well . So they can add items to the grocery list or help with meal planning!
This isn’t one of the more fun weekly rituals that need reset but guys it is soooo helpful saving money and staying on top of your food plans for your health and wellbeing.
Reset your planner and/or calendar:
This is one I absolutely swear by! If you have been around here for a bit you would know how important I believe it is to stick to a weekly planner.
Making a set day as part of your weekly reset to update your planner (or calendar) is a great way to genuinely help you stay organized and productive. When you set your planner weekly then you know that you are all set up for tomorrow and you don’t have to frantically plan your days every morning.
If you don’t already have a planner then I recommend checking out the Erin Condren Life Planner. I use it and it is definitely my favorite planner I have tried!
As a sub-tip for your reset plan I also recommend at this time keeping up with your gratitude journal and if you don’t already keep a gratitude journal I really recommend getting one and starting to use it. It can really help you grow in your personal life and work on your mental wellness.
Reset health and wellness plans:
This next idea for your weekly reset is one that has been honestly life changing for me.
Committing a assigned day to being the day I set my health and fitness plans for the week is so helpful. For me it works best to be Sundays with my current life schedule. However, when I was in college it worked best for it to be Fridays. Just figure out what day works best for you!
I find that when I take the time to make a health and fitness plan each week I am exponentially more likely to actually stick to it. Resulting in me having a healthier week. Highly recommend adding this to your weekly routines if you are trying to live a healthier lifestyle this year.
And don’t be afraid to get specific with setting your health goals. Want to do a certain number of squats this week? Then include that in your plan. Want to build certain muscles? Increase reps? Go on hikes? Focus on fat-burning exercise? Try exercises that help with weight loss? Then set those goals and incorporate them into your weekly health plans. And make sure to plan for your rest days as well!
Also, I do recommend incorporating a plan for getting quality sleep into your health plans for the week. It is so essential for you to get good sleep each night to be the healthiest version of yourself.
Reset a weekly to do list:
The final of the weekly reset ideas for a more organized life is weekly to do lists. This is the one that I believe has the most direct impact on your long term organization. I also like to note that setting the exact days that your weekly to do list is for is super helpful and helps you stick to your to do list.
And when you complete the daily tasks on your to do list you can mark them off and know that you are marking them off for the correct week.
Weekly to do lists are an incredible tool for staying focused, organized, and making sure you don’t forget things.
Personally it works the best for me to make my weekly to do list inside my weekly planner but if you are a very visual person or someone who gets easily distracted I recommend getting a white board to do list that is magnetic and hanging it on your fridge. That way you see your weekly to do list at least a few times a day so you can be reminded of it! This can really help you stay focused and on track throughout the week.
I have a free printable weekly to do list here if you are looking for one as well!
And that is all for now my friends!
I hope that this gave you some ideas and helpful guidance for creating a plan for your weekly resets that will help you set yourself up for better and more efficient weeks. As always- reach out on Instagram or any of my other social platforms (I’m on all of them guys!) if you have questions 🙂
