Organize Your Morning RoutineHow can you streamline your morning routine? The answer's easy - prepare the night before! Scarlet O'Hara so famously said in Gone With the Wind, "Fiddly dee, I'll worry about that tomorrow!" And if you want to have a hectic morning, then you should definitely try to be like her. But if you want to have a smooth morning routine, I would suggest a little planning and prep the night before to help you get organized and ready to be on your way... Pick out your clothes for the next day. Iron anything that needs it. Don't forget accessories: jewelry, cuff links, hose, socks, shoes, panties, boxers, scarf, tie, or purse. If you have kids, the same should be done with their outfits. Fix your lunch, get your gym bag ready, and make sure all necessary items for the next day are tucked into your briefcase, backpack, or purse. Again, if children are in the picture, then their bags should be prepared as well. Look over tomorrow's activities. This will refresh your memory about must-do items or things you need to take with you the next day. Place your keys, cell, wallet, purse, laptop, briefcase, etc. in one spot, preferably close by your door. It's also a good idea to make this staging ground near an electrical outlet, so battery-powered items can recharge overnight. Go to bed in time to sleep 8 hours (or whatever your body requires to be rested). Otherwise, you are guaranteed to hit the snooze and sleep later than you should...and your morning routine snowballs from there!
