(It has been a while since I have typed that!)
I'm not much of a morning person when it comes to getting out of bed to go to school. Especially in the midst of winter. It is a definite struggle. With that said, I have a few tips for you that I follow to help me save time in the morning and allow me to spend more time snug under the covers.
Here are my tips for a more hassle-free morning.
1. Shower at night.
Showering at night is such a time saver for myself. I don't have to worry about rushing, and I can take time to relax in the hot water. I would recommend to shower at least an hour before you go to bed so your hair has time to dry. Which leads me to my next point of advice...
2. Braid your hair.
Combing and braiding your hair before you head to bed is great. It is a way to style your hair for the next day(who doesn't love beachy waves?) and helps keep your hair from breakage since hair often snags while sleeping. When you wake up the next day, all you need to do is take the braid out and ta da! Gorgeous, tangle free hair.
3. Make your lunch the night before.
Whenever I can, which is not so much in the winter(never know when you might get a snow day while living in Michigan...), I pack my lunch at night. This generally takes me ten minutes in the morning. Ten minutes I could be using to do something else that I may have forgotten to do, eat breakfast, or just get to school a little bit earlier(I'm almost always walking in as the warning bell goes off for first hour). If you do decide to follow this tip, I would recommend to only pack pantry items such as a granola bar, crackers, pudding, an apple, etc and not a sandwich(can get mushy) or something that needs to be refrigerated. I always wait until morning to pack those types of foods into my lunch. Also, you could make a lunch calendar for what you are going to take which days.
4. Lay out the next day's outfit.
Instead of changing outfit ten times in the morning wasting valuable time, decide what you are going to wear the next day and have it laying out. If I don't lay my clothes out, I at least know where to find them in my closet or dresser. Such a huge time saver, this one is!
5. Put everything back in your bag.
There are days when you just completely forget take something you needed for school that day. It happens, but if you pack your bag before you get into bed for the night, there is a lesser chance of you forgetting something essential at home the next morning. A tip: once you have done your homework or have finish using something from your bag, put it back. This way you won't have to worry about finding everything you left scattered around your room or house when you are half asleep in the morning.
Those are five tips and tricks I use for a smoother morning without rushing and to sleep in an extra ten minutes. I hoped you found this helpful and gave you a few time saving ideas. Thanks for reading!
