We all know there are stages of a Sunday. So I'm going to go ahead and take you through them:

1. Groggily waking up

Waking up late on a Sunday, memories of last night come back and everyone comes blinking and frizzy haired downstairs in their large t-shirts to start the second stage of the day.

2. Coffee.

Sipping coffee like it’s your job, talking about last night around the table and making a to-do list of what you have to get done before you can start your week.

3. Recovery.

Eating carbs, something greasy, or at least something hearty is very important on a Sunday morning. There’s something about an omelet and toast on a Sunday that really helps start the day and the week.

4. Facing the day: to-do list.

After waking up, coffee, and food are out of the way, it’s time to face not only the day, but the week ahead of you and to start getting things done in preparation. You probably make a to-do list, whether it’s mental or physical, it’s probably always going to be daunting and unattainable.

5. Procrastinating by cooking and cleaning.

Because your to-do list is so unattainable and frightening, you obviously start coming up with things that get in the way of it. You cook, making more food for the day and maybe some for later in the week. You clean, because you want to start the week off in a good place with everything sparkly and dust-free. Neither of these things is actually terribly important or on you to-do list.

6. Actually, slowly, getting things done.

When there’s nothing left to procrastinate with, you find yourself just slowly doing the things on your to-do list and while you might not get to everything, you still feel slightly productive.

7. Passing out, dreading the day ahead.

You finally get to bed, thinking about the day and the week ahead of you and all the things you still have to get done.
