Feb. 15th, 2026 Sunday Scaries

It’s Sunday night….time for the Sunday Scaries.

Do you know this term?

“Sunday Scaries” is a way to describe the anxiety or dread often felt on Sunday evenings. Some studies say that over 80% of working Americans experience the Sunday Scaries.

For me, it’s typically a combination of frustration with myself for all the things I failed to accomplish over the weekend or some low-key anxiety about all that needs to be done in the week ahead. It’s the time of the week I’m most likely to be on edge and snippy. And it’s been so much worse since I turned in my latest book three weeks ago.

There’s this idea that when an author turns in a book, they will experience a sense of euphoria and delight. Maybe some do.

I do not.

I generally cry, pray, and thank God that I got to the end with his help, and then sleep. When I wake up, I’m faced with all.the.things that didn’t get done while I was on deadline.

This particular post-deadline stretch has been BAD.

I’ve spent a lot of time in a fog, undoubtedly due to emotional, creative, and physical exhaustion. The rest of the time, I’ve been playing catch-up on the things I need to do. Tonight is the first time in three weeks that I haven’t had piles of laundry in my room waiting to be done and an assortment of tasks in desperate need of attention. I made myself rest this afternoon. I played around in the kitchen and even crocheted for a bit while watching the Olympics.

And now, I’m nibbling on a mini charcuterie bowl I made, and alternating between tidying up my office, preparing for next week, and reading a book from a student I have the privilege of mentoring. I have to hit pause on all of it in about an hour to record a podcast interview, and then I’ll be back at it.

I still have a wildly hectic week ahead, but it’s amazing how continuing to chip away at the seemingly overwhelming things will…eventually…get them done. Even though it doesn’t feel like it in the moment! And tonight I’m reminded that God never expects me to get it all done. He’s the only one who can do that. And He gives me the strength to do what needs to be done. The rest of it can wait.

Tonight, the Sunday scaries aren’t so scary!

I have no idea what’s on your agenda this week…whatever it is, I hope you’re able to set the Sunday Scaries aside and rest in the truth that God has already gone before you into the new week.
