Preparation is key

Whether it’s preparing what you’re going to wear the next day or your packed lunch, preparation is key to a smooth and stress-free morning routine. Don’t find yourself short of time due to lack of planning.

Morning routine: How to save time

Mornings are typically known for being overwhelming, stressful and hectic, particularly if you have a whole family to get ready. However, this doesn’t need to be the case.

Take control of your morning by streamlining your routine and save yourself valuable minutes of sleep in the process. Try to organise whatever you can the evening before and leave just the essentials for when you wake up. This might mean packing your bag for work, washing your hair or putting the bins out – you’ll be thankful these jobs have been done when the morning rolls around.

Mornings are all about allocating your time wisely and sticking to it. Get a shower timer to ensure the temptation of the warm water doesn’t leave you behind schedule, keep your eye on the clock as you eat your breakfast and get out of the door at a reasonable time. Taking a sensible approach to timings will mean you can say goodbye to stressful mornings.

A revitalising shower

Starting your day with an energising shower is a great way to wake up your body and mind. Try to use a shower gel with a fresh and invigorating fragrance like NIVEA Powerfruit Refresh Shower Gel. Another useful tip is to brush your teeth in the shower to combine two steps in one.

The morning beauty routine

Your morning beauty and skin care regime is individual to you, but there are ways to help cut down on time. Give multi-use makeup products like lipstick and blush stains a go or, if you’re in a real rush, pop your lipstick in your bag to apply later on – there will always be opportunities!

Eat a hearty breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and fuels your body with the nutrients and energy it needs to get through a busy morning. Prepare whatever you can the evening before and make sure to leave enough time in the morning to eat in peace.

Get out of the door

Final preparations before heading out of the door often include getting any last-minute bits together and finding your keys. To help these final moments go as smoothly as possible, try to prepare your work items in advance and always keep your keys in a special and memorable place.

Tips for making getting out of bed in the morning easier

  • Avoid hitting the snooze button – these extra few minutes will only make you short of time.
  • Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up to boost your energy output.
  • Blast some of your favourite music to wake up your brain.
  • Prepare your coffee machine the night before, so it’s ready to go when you get up.
  • In the winter, make sure to set the heating to come on early to warm up the room.
