List the top ten to get out the door on time!
1. Find a place to put car keys, gloves, umbrellas, etc. for quick access when leaving the house
2. Teach your children to use an alarm clock or clock radio
3. Do not hit the “Snooze” button. Shower and get dressed before the kids wake up
4. Choose clothes and accessories the night before
5. Pack lunches the night before
6. Decide on breakfast the night before
7. Create a “special place” (folder, drawer, shelf) for your child to put papers from school, which need to be signed and returned.
8. Let the answering machine take a message (return calls at your convenience)
9. Keep a jar of “lunch money” in a central place
10. Don’t try to do more than prepare. Unless you get up a few hours earlier in the morning, laundry, cleaning, bills, etc. are for another time.
