How To save time In the Morning

​I don't like feeling rushed in the morning, nor scrambling around trying to get everything done. This is how I save time in the morning to make sure I get everything done promptly. 
Night Before: 
1. Write the next day's to-do list
When you plan out the following day you will have less on your mind when trying to fall asleep. 
2. Pack your bag, or your lunch
You don't want to spend your day running around making sure you have everything for work.
3. Check the forecast & Pick out your outfit
Checking the forecast will help you pick your outfit but also plan your commute. 
4. Shower before bed 
I shower before bed. I like to go to sleep clean. Showering before I go to bed gives me more time to get ready for the day and more time to sleep in. 
5. Go to bed at the same time every night 
This will help you feel more refreshed in the morning and focused.

Morning:
1. Don't Hit snooze 
Get in the habit of getting out of bed when the alarm sounds. Hitting snooze only makes you more sleepy. Step away from the snooze button you will have a more efficient day. 
2. Let the sun in!
When sunlight hits your eyes in the morning you this helps you wake up. It tells your brain its time to wake up. 
3. Self-Care
Drink your tea coffee and incorporate some movement and gentle stretching. Maybe even do a short meditation
4. Ignore your phone and T.V. 
Don't get distracted. Get ready for work.
5. Set a time to leave the house 
Each day you will leave the house at ___o'clock. Set an alarm if it helps. 
6. Make time for breakfast
Even if it's it yogurt, a shake, or cereal. Make time to eat. 

It might sound like a lot... But its worth it! How do you save time in the morning?
