  • Make your bed
    • This is a great way to start the day and an important life skill.
    • A neat bed is especially nice to climb into at night.
  • 5 Minute Room Rescue
    • I recently heard this name for something we have been doing for a while in our home.
    • Set a timer for 5 minutes and see how much you can accomplish picking up a room.
    • You (and your kids) will be amazed what a difference 5 minutes can do!
  • Get dressed
    • For my daughters it works to have them lay out their outfit the night before.  My son will throw on the first thing he pulls out of the drawer.
  • Eat Breakfast
    • A healthy meal before school fuels healthy brains.
  • Pack Lunch
    • I actually pack my kids’ lunch while they eat breakfast- it works for us
  • Brush teeth and hair
  • Pack backpacks
    • Include lunchbox, folder with homework from the night before, P.E. sneakers, a “share” item, library book or whatever they need each day (a schedule for each child is especially helpful posted on the refrigerator or by the door).
  • Put on shoes
  • Get everything ready by the door
    • Backpack, jacket, etc.
  • Find a quiet activity until bus comes

  1. […] I love this next tip. Now that I have a longer commute in on the train and have less time to spend in the morning getting organized, every minute counts.  This 10-point checklist has lots of good tips, but my personal favorite is #2 on the list: Set a timer for a “5-minute room rescue.” Neaten up as much as you can before the timer goes off, then move on to the rest of your morning routine. Again, you can’t achieve perfection in five minutes, but Jen Tankersley promises you’ll be amazed at the difference a few minutes can make. (ListPlanIt) […]
