 I did all the laundry!  Sundays end up being very "domestic" days for me. Whatever rest I manage to get Saturday nights usually leads to enough energy to get a decent amount of household cleaning done. I have decided the best way to make any new changes this year needs to start by being more mindful of my phone use.  Today I started by pausing each time I reached for my phone. If I knew I was only going to scroll on my social media accounts, I put the phone down and tried to do something else. In between chores and feeding the kids, I managed to read most of a book.
