Let me guess: Sunday evening rolls around, and your brain is already sprinting into Monday. It’s the full on Sunday Scaries.

You’re thinking about meals, meetings, appointments, deadlines—and somehow, the laundry still didn’t fold itself.

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a three-hour planning session or a colour-coded whiteboard to get your week on track. You just need 15 mindful minutes and a simple ritual that helps you reflect, plan, and release the overwhelm.

This is where the magic of a Weekly Reset comes in—a simple ritual I started doing to feel more grounded and less reactive heading into a new week.

While the Priority Mom Planner doesn’t have a page labeled “Weekly Reset,” it’s packed with the exact tools to help you reflect, plan, and reset with intention. From the gratitude and wins section, to meal planning and your daily top three—everything is designed to help you start your week with clarity and confidence.

Step 1: Reflect (5 Minutes)

Before you start mapping out next week, pause. Take a moment with your planner and ask yourself a few grounding questions:

• What went well last week?
• What felt hard?
• Where did I feel most like myself?
• What do I want to let go of?

Even if you’re short on time, jotting down one win and one thing you’d change brings surprising clarity. This is where the Gratitude & Wins section in the planner really shines.

Pro tip: Keep this reflective moment low-pressure. It’s about awareness, not perfection.

Step 2: Plan (7 Minutes)

Now that you’ve looked back, it’s time to look ahead—with intention.

This part is all about creating structure without overwhelm. Whether you’re using the Priority Mom Planner, another planner you love, or a simple notebook, here are the key elements to include in your weekly planning ritual:

• Top 3 Priorities – What really matters this week?
• Appointments or Time-Sensitive Tasks – Add anything with a set time or deadline.
• Self-Care & Health Goals – Make space to take care of you.
• Dinner Plans – Even a loose plan can ease the daily “what’s for dinner?” stress.
• Loose Ends – Anything you’re waiting on or don’t want to forget.

If you’re using the Priority Mom Planner, this step is fully supported with built-in task lists, top-three sections, space for health goals, and a flexible dinner planner. But no matter what system you use, the goal is the same: create a plan that aligns with your values and capacity—not your pressure to “do it all.”

Step 3: Release (3 Minutes)

This step is small but powerful—and it’s where the emotional reset happens.

What am I holding onto that I can release?

Maybe it’s guilt, pressure, or just mental clutter. You can write it down, tear it up, say it out loud, or journal it in your notes section. The how doesn’t matter—the release does.

This is your moment to tell your mind and body: we’ve got a plan. Now we rest.

Use the Planner You Already Have

This ritual works with whatever planning system you love—whether that’s the Priority Mom Planner or the notebook you grabbed from your kitchen drawer.

What matters most is that you’re taking a few intentional minutes to reset your mind, plan your week, and release what’s no longer serving you.

If you do have the Priority Mom Planner, here’s how it beautifully supports this practice:

• Gratitude & Wins – use this for reflection
• Task Lists + Top 3 – map out your weekly priorities
• Dinner Planning – reduce mealtime stress before it starts
• Health & “Today I Want To” Goals – set intentions for how you want to show up
