How To Cut Down On Your Morning Routine

Mornings may be difficult even at the best of times, but if you’re prone to rushing out the door with a crumpet in hand, you may want to reconsider your attitude toward the all-important start to your day.

Wiping the sleep from your eyes and trying to make sure everything is in place for the school run can make mornings a genuine hardship, especially for parents. Fortunately, we have a few helpful ideas to make those hectic mornings go as smoothly as possible. Do you want to reduce your stress? Continue reading to learn more.

Make Breakfast The Night Before

You probably don’t realize how much time it takes to make breakfast for yourself and everyone else. Making the family’s food will eat into the time you can focus on other tasks when you have a laundry list of other tasks to take care of. By cooking breakfast for the next day the night before, you can save a lot of time and work.

Overnight oats are a quick and easy method to make a nutritious meal while saving time on heating conventional oats in the morning. All you have to do is combine the ingredients in a bowl in the evening, place them in the fridge, and they’re ready to go in the morning. You could also consider switching from coffee to tea. 

Choose Quick Breakfasts

 If you’re pressed for time or didn’t have time to prepare breakfast the night before, choose options that can be made quickly in the morning. Throw in your preferred fruit and some milk to create a smoothie and you’ll have something delicious and nutritious in no time, allowing you to focus on the rest of your morning activities.

Pack Your Bags The Night Before

Many a simple morning has been ruined by frantically racing around the house trying to get the kids’ school supplies. Doing this ahead of time helps kids don’t forget books, classroom supplies, and their PE kit; how many times have you been caught off guard because you couldn’t find clean gym socks? Make things easier on yourself by preparing tomorrow’s schoolwork today.

Sort Out Your Clothes The Day Before

Prepare every aspect of your clothing, even your undergarments, the night before. This will save you a lot of time when deciding what to wear to work (and re-deciding if you’re picky). We’re sure there have been occasions when you couldn’t settle on your professional outfit, which sucks into your early minutes like nothing else. Save yourself the trouble of having to decide by organizing your clothes for the next day in the evening instead.

Sort Out A Bathroom Schedule

 When everyone is hurrying about, using a single restroom with the rest of your family might generate havoc. Everyone wants to use it first, or someone always spends too much time in the shower, leaving everyone exhausted before the day even begins. If this is the case, it could be a good idea to create a restroom schedule. It can be as official or informal as you want, but keeping things simple by arranging who comes in first, second, and so on based on when individuals have to be at school and work should be your go-to.

Remove The Distractions

When you and your children sit down to eat, make it clear that they are in a distraction-free zone and should not check their phones, listen to the radio, or watch TV. It may seem exaggerated, yet all three of these factors can cause us to lose sight of time. By prohibiting these distractions, everyone may just enjoy and savor their breakfast.

Ignore Your Phone

Following on from the previous point, checking your phone and becoming lost in a flurry of emails, texts, and Facebook updates can develop into a negative habit. We’ve wasted 10 minutes gazing at our Twitter accounts before we realize it, and we’re still in our pajamas. Unless you’re expecting something essential, don’t check the phone until everyone is ready, fed, and you’re on your way out the door.

Create Morning Stations

Making individual stations of storage boxes to keep their coursework tidy and organized is a terrific approach to getting kids used to packing their bags. Invest them in a bookshelf or wall storage so they can organize their belongings clearly and plainly. It may take them some time to adjust to having to do things themselves, but once they’re in the habit of organizing things themselves, you’ll have one less thing to worry about in the mornings.
