Monday Stress Preview Hour
A Monday stress preview hour scans the week for top three friction points and assigns one mitigation each—bounded tasks beat vague Sunday dread spirals.
A Monday stress preview hour is a Sunday or early-Monday calendar scan that names the top three friction points—hard meetings, deadlines, childcare gaps—and assigns one mitigation each, not a full replan of the week. Previewing lowers Sunday scaries by converting vague dread into bounded tasks.
Cap the session at thirty minutes; depth belongs in weekly review, not midnight rumination. Pair with clothes and lunch prep decided during the same block.
