Streamline
Your Morning Routine
4. If
you or members of your family have trouble with being on time
in the mornings, try the following tips.
Save the
more elaborate breakfasts for weekends. During the week have
easy breakfast foods laid out and ready to go, such as hard
boiled eggs, English muffins, sliced deli ham, fresh fruit,
fruit salad, juice, prepared quiches, cold cereal and protein
bars.
If bathroom
congestion is a problem in the morning, have some family members
shower at nighttime instead of in the morning. You can also
have a set schedule for bathroom times for each family member
for both day and evening routines.
Keep
Track of Your Keys
5. If
you are frequently late because you can't find your keys,
try to always keep your keys in the same place. Then keep
a spare set of keys in a designated place - just in case.
Another option is to buy an electronic key finder. There are
some where you attach a sound activated device to your keys.
If you can't find your keys you can clap your hand and your
keys will start beeping. Key chains and clips can also be
helpful for wandering keys.
Oversleeping
6. If
you late in the morning because you oversleep, try setting
your alarm clock very loudly and put it across the room so
you have to walk over to turn it off. If you get an alarm
clock with an AM/PM setting, then you can set it right away
each morning for the next day. Try to go to bed early enough
each night so your body isn't still in a deep sleep phase
when it is time for your alarm to go off.
