With Back-to-School time just around the corner, Oprah has given some tips for how to make mornings run more smoothly.
- Prepack lunches the night before
- Prepare coffee machine the night and simply turn it on in the morning
- Prearrange and iron clothing the night before
- Coordinate bathroom schedules
- Have easy breakfast food on hand (even “portable” ones like breakfast bars)
- Create and “Inbox/Outbox” system to deal with school papers and homework
- Use a timer to limit time wasted if you tend to linger when you eat or shower
- Have a schedule for carpool and/or confirm rides the night before
- Prepack backpacks, purses and briefcases the night before
- Establish rules and routines to prevent morning temper tantrums
- Ignore chores in the morning – worry about it when you get home
All in all, I think these are good guidelines. I try to do most of them but I find the inbox/outbox system to be the most difficult to maintain consistently.
