WHO’S REALLY
SUNDAY HABITS THAT SET YOU UP FOR THE WEEK After a long week of work, many Americans relax, participate in their hobbies, and try to avoid increased responsibilities during the weekend. While this can be beneficial for your mental health, have you ever felt like your week was off to a rough start as soon as Monday rolled around? There’s nothing wrong with relaxing on the weekend, but putting aside your responsibilities for a few days can put you behind the eight ball. You don’t need to set aside your Sunday to deep- clean the house from top to bottom, but adding beneficial habits to the final day of the weekend can ensure every week starts on the right foot.
WHEN ACCIDENTS GE
If you’ve ever been in a car accident, you know it’s rarely as simple as one person clearly being to blame. That gets even trickier when more than two vehicles are involved. Who hit who first? Who had time to react? Whose version of the story holds up? These questions are exactly why Texas uses something called comparative negligence to sort things out. In basic terms, comparative negligence means that fault can be divided among multiple people. The court or the jury looks at the facts and decides how much responsibility each party holds. In Texas, you can still recover damages if you were partially at fault, as long as you weren’t more than 50% responsible. That’s where the modified part comes in. Let’s say you were in a crash and a jury finds you 30% responsible. If the total damages are $100,000, you could still recover $70,000. But if you were found more than 50% responsible, even if it’s just 51%, you wouldn’t be able to recover anything. That cutoff can make or break a case.
DECLUTTER Decluttering and clearing your space will
directly impact your mental state. This can be an overwhelming task at times, especially if you have a house full of kids, but you can make it manageable by keeping up with it every week. It might be easier once the kids go to bed, but take a few minutes every Sunday to walk through your house and pick up any items off the floor, on furniture, and anywhere else they may be lying. PLAN AHEAD Nothing will better prepare you for the week ahead than planning. Look through your work schedule and your kids’ calendars to make sure you’re aware of upcoming events, games, or practices. You could also consider meal prepping if the upcoming week looks busier than usual. To take it a step further, prepack your kids’ lunches, lay out clothes for the workweek, and write down additional responsibilities you’ll have throughout the week. LIGHT CLEANING As stated earlier, you don’t need to deep-clean every week, but your home will look much better if you establish weekly light cleaning behaviors. Wipe down the surfaces in your kitchen, clean the windows, and give your floor some love by mopping, vacuuming, or sweeping. If you have the time and energy, consider doing a load of laundry or two. These little tasks will add up, making your house consistently sparkle.
