Hacks to Make Your Morning Routine Faster Than Ever

Hacks to Make Your Morning Routine Faster Than Ever

It’s back-to-school season which means you’re back to wrangling everyone out the door in time for work and the school bus. But it doesn’t have to be a daily fight! With these easy life hacks, you’ll have your morning routine running smoothly in no time.

Have clothes ready the night before

Nothing holds up a morning like choosing what to wear! Encourage your kids to pick out their outfit the night before and have it out for easy changing in the mornings. Consider a designated hook where everything can hang so that it’s easy to grab in a rush.

Prep breakfast ahead of time

If you like having a good breakfast in the mornings, take the time to meal prep at the start of the week. You could have jars of overnight oats or pre-built breakfast sandwiches ready to grab and reheat. This way if you decide to sleep in a little, you can still grab breakfast and take it with you out the door.

Agree on who gets to use the bathroom when

If you want to avoid the battle of the bathroom every morning, have a pre-determined schedule of when everyone gets their turn and have that schedule posted where it’s visible. If anyone needs extra help, try putting a small timer on your bathroom counter that you or your kids can set so that they know when they have to clear out.

Don’t let anyone set the snooze alarm

It can seem like a huge hurdle to give up on the snooze alarm, but studies show that waking up and hitting that button makes it more difficult to get out of bed, leading to chaos just a little while later. Encourage yourself and your kids to get up with their first alarm, and keep wake-up times consistent, you’ll be surprised to see that it does get easier to get out of bed.

Have set spaces for everyone’s stuff near the front door

Besides shoes and coats, you might find your entryway a mess of backpacks, musical instruments, sport equipment and everything else your busy family needs for the day. Cut down on the clutter by adding a cubby shelving unit, perfect for storing shoes and baskets where everyone can store what they need for each day.
