Some of us are definitely not morning people. What makes things even harder is finding time to get kids ready for school plus get you ready to head out the door on time. Here is a list of things you could do in order to save some time in the morning.
Time Saving Morning Tips
1. Write out a Schedule for the Next Day– Make sure to write out a list of things that you need to do for the next day. Try to write them down in chronological order. This way you can go through them in order. This will help to ensure that you are on track and get everything done in time.
2. Choose Your Outfit the Night Before– Whether you are the only one heading out the door in the morning or have 3 kids to dress; you can save time in the morning if you happen to lay out which clothes you will be needed the night before.
3. Program Your Coffee Pot– No need to waste precious time waiting for the coffee to be ready. Set the timer on your coffeepot to be ready at least 5 minutes before you normally drink it. This way it will be ready when you want it to be.
4. Use Only the Essentials– When it comes to putting on your go
outside and face the world day, only add the bare necessities. Remember you are not going to a fashion show, unless you are a model. Besides packing your face with a load of gunk can cause a breakout. You also need to take off any makeup residue before heading to bed.
5. Prepare Lunch the Night Before– If you need to make a lunch for yourself or your kids, make sure to prepare it the night before. This way you will not be fumbling around to make it in the morning.
These are just a few tips that will help you to save time in the morning. You can also think up of a few things that you normally rush around trying to do in the morning. If at all possible do them the night before. By preparing things the night before, you will be less rushed in the morning and less stressed as well.
Do you do anything to save time before you get ready for your upcoming morning?
Except for writing out a schedule, I do all of these things. It allows me to sleep in a little longer and still be ready to go on time.
We have a difficult time getting out of the house in the morning. Hopefully these tips will help us to have better time management.
I always make lunches the night before & lay out the kids clothes. It definitely helps.
My mom had me choose my clothes the night before and I will do the same for my daughter. Saves a ton of time.
We try to plan ahead but with 4 kids it’s always hectic getting out of the house when we have somewhere important to go.
I used to plan out everything, now we are homeschooling so we kind of go with the flow. I do not miss the hectic morning routines!
I do all of those things! And believe me, when I DON’T do one of them, I run late LOL
I’ve never been a morning person. But, I do try to get my kids lunches together the night before and get their clothes ready the night before.
Good tips. I do most of these but I’m the worst about fixing lunch the night before. It’s like one more thing to do!!
We always try to plan what we are going to wear the day before but other than not much else.
I always made lunch the morning of. I suppose that would have helped a lot if I’d done that the night before!
I have a morning ritual list that I write out at night. That way nothing gets forgotten!
I am soooo not a morning person. These are great tips!
I live for my timer on the coffee pot. Love waking to the smell of coffee.
Except for programming the coffee pot (because I don’t drink coffee) I do all of these things. It allows me to have an extra 15 mins in dream land. 🙂
Great tips! Now that my kids are grown, though, I don’t really have to do any of them!
Yes to all of these! It’s time for us to start getting back in these habits again. We’ve kinda slacked since summer vacation started.
I am so not a morning person. These great tips would be very helpful for me
I am retired by when I was working I absolutely had an evening routine that saved me lots of time in the am. I also would never to to bed with any dishes in the sink so I wouldn’t have to do them in the morning.
Choosing an outfit the night before always helps me out!
Simple things like starting the coffee pot with a timer really do make a difference. This is a great list.
Programmable coffee pots are the best thing ever. I don’t know how many times I’ve messed up the coffee making process in the morning. It’s not like it’s that hard….
Great tips! I always choose my next day´s outfit the night before, because I know that if I will start doing it in the morning it will take forever.
Great tips! I don’t have a programmable coffee maker since I have a Keurig but maybe I need to do a few of those other tips.
I am definitely not a morning person so thank goodness I rarely have to get up early anymore. When I do, I make sure to pick out my clothes and lay out everything I’ll need the night before! These are great tips.
Mornings are so chaotic around here. I love the tips about getting your clothes and lunches ready the night before.
I do most of these, yay! Definitely makes my morning a lot easier 🙂
Great tips! We get everything ready the night before. Makes our mornings so much easier!
