We are always on our toes, running here and there, talking and thinking of agendas, task lists, targets, etc. So from 2023, I have made a few changes to my schedule to set a better example to my daughter.
Sunday for me is a day to stay still, stay away from work, have task lists, and do things that I usually don't do on other days. Other than my family's messages and calls, I try to avoid calls related to work and disconnect from Linkedin, after scheduling posts for the week. So next time, you don't get a reply from me to your message or mail, specially if it is a Monday in India, now you know the reason as it is Sunday here in USA.
I am more active on Linkedin than any other social media, however, a disconnect from all would be useful. I know people in my circle who take mobile vacations aka switching off their phones and electronics once a week. I have tried doing it but I still need to master it.??
So the first two hours on Sunday go into writing posts and getting them scheduled. Automation as I spoke about in the last Newsletter, is what helps me stay on schedule and stress-free. After that, my laptop is sitting still till Monday Morning.
Let me clarify when I say staying still, it doesn't mean I am sleeping the rest of the day or staring at a wall.?

I read books, go out and enjoy myself with my family. What else may be gardening, playing games, staying at home, watching a movie, have calls with family?
Oh I forgot to add cooking and experimenting new dishes. Since, I am relaxed, it is time to cook up something good. After all, good food helps to end the day better.
Summarizing the key takeaways:?
What do you do on Sunday?

1 年Thank you so much Pooja Bhatia Vasaikar, CLP, RTTP, Patent Agent for the trust in my words.. Your write ups keep inspiring me to perform higher and higher... Every time I sit with my goals, I remember you, and many other women who inspire me to do more, and also those who look upto me for inspiration... Thanks for being my accountability partner, though unknowingly ?? Let us keep inspiring each other... Even for me, Sunday is a day for rejuvenation and a day for connecting with my soul and purpose... With the gadgets, it is never possible..So I spend time in my small garden, watering, fertilizing plants and watching the birds, and butterflies and the bees.. In the Middle East, with the hot summers, maintaining a garden is a tough task. And since we are crazy people who love challenges everyday, this is something I really enjoy... And it gives me a lot of time to think... So Sundays are really rejuvenating...

1 年I relax, watch tv, go for a walk and order food. I take a complete holiday to relax and unwind. Most of the Sundays I go for a hair spa...after all it's important to get a good head massage so that I can think clearly!
