You’re trying to get ready for work, the kids are trying to get ready for school, the dog needs to go out, and no one knows what they are going to wear. Next thing you know, everyone is running late. Sound familiar? Do you feel like your weekday mornings are one giant hairy disaster? Here are a few things you can do to save time in your routine and get your family out the door on time. Make a plan The first step to saving time in your morning routine is to have a plan. Know what you need to accomplish. You may have to get the kids ready for school. You may have to pack lunches for the whole family. Maybe you have a complex beauty routine. It doesn’t matter what you need to do, you just have to plan accordingly. But don’t just plan for things that happen every day. You also need to plan for things that only happen once a week or once every few weeks. The more prepared you are, the easier it will be to work around those obstacles. Know your biggest problems Some morning tasks take longer than others. Which parts of your routine are the most time-consuming? Which are most likely to throw you off schedule? Asses those items and see what you can do to prepare in advance so you save time on them in the morning. It may also be helpful to time your current routing so you know how long each task takes. Prepare the night (or week) before If you find that your workday routine is taking too long because there is simply too much to do, prepare ahead to save time. You can pack lunches (or parts of lunches) earlier in the week. Planning out what everyone is going to wear the night before saves time getting dressed. The more you can prepare in advance, the less time you have to spend doing it in the morning. Keep everyone in the loop If you’re changing the morning routine for more than just yourself, make sure you let everyone know in advance. It will be an easier adjustment if everyone is on the same page. Furthermore, talk to your family about what is not working and ask for their opinions on how they can help the family save time. With these four steps, you can establish a morning routine to help you save time, create a smoother family life, and have a less stressful workweek.
