If you are anything like me, there is very limited time in the morning to get ready. I like to sleep as late as possible, so the less time that I have to take getting ready in the morning, the better. I have pretty much mastered the 10 minute morning routine with these tips:
1. Get all packed up the night before
This saves you all of the times where you have to run up the stairs a bunch of times because you forgot something in your room, or when you waste 5 minutes searching your room for your glasses.
2. Pick out your clothes before bed
This way you can just throw on your clothes, without rummaging your closet for an outfit.
3. Face wipes
Instead of washing your face, use face wipes to clean your face in seconds.
4. On-the-go breakfast
Take a breakfast bar or a smoothie on the go so you can grab it before you run out instead of stopping somewhere or sitting down to eat in the morning.
5. Night showers
Although it can wake you up, showering at night saves loads of time, and lets you sleep in much later.
6. Sleep with hair in a braid
This will keep your hair neat and styled over night so that you won't have to waste time styling it in the morning.
7. Create a morning playlist
Create a playlist that you listen to every day. This will let you know about how many minutes you have left, based on how many songs you have listened to, without looking at the clock.
8. Change up your alarm
When you have the same alarm every day, you get used to it and continue to doze. Change it up so that the new stimulus will actually be effective in getting you up in the morning.
9. Create a mental time-table
Allot a different amount of time for each step of your morning routine, that way it will keep you moving and rushing, as you don't want to get off schedule.
