16 Tips To Save Time In The Morning.
For many people, going to work every morning well fed, dressed and on time is a daily challenge.
A study has shown that women spend about 55 minutes each morning on their appearance.
That is a total of 6.40 hours per week, compared to 4.50 hours for men.
So, how do you leave home faster? Here are 16 tips that will save you time in the morning.

1. Write down the things you need to do the next day
By planning your day the day before, you'll go to bed with peace of mind.
Result, you will wake up ready to start the day.
Plus, it will help you get to sleep.
2. Prepare your bag
Don't spend the morning stressing yourself out hoping you haven't forgotten anything.
Prepare your bag the day before to have peace of mind.
3. Prepare your lunch
Preparing lunch the night before frees you up time in the morning.
It's also good for your wallet. Note that eating out every day costs you around € 800 per year.
4. Check the weather forecast
Knowing the weather for the next day will help you plan your clothes and also plan your trip.
For example, if rain or snow is forecast for the next day, you will probably have to leave your home earlier.
5. Choose your outfit
You can save a lot of time in the morning if you know in advance what to wear.

6. Go to bed at the same time every night

Studies have shown that "good sleep is better than more sleep".

The morning
7. Do not use your wake-up call reminder
Each time you press the snooze button and go back to sleep, you will start a sleep cycle again.
As a direct consequence, you feel even more sleepy when you finally manage to get up.
If you get up tired every time, you probably need to go to bed earlier.
8. Stretch
If you don't have time for a full workout, it's worth taking a moment for some simple stretches.
Speeding up your heart rate and flushing excess toxins from the body is the best way out of morning lethargy.
9. Bring in the sun
When light comes into contact with your eyes in the morning, it acts on your brain's circadian rhythm and helps you wake up gently.
Scientific research explains that orange light from the sun and blue light from the sky have a better effect than artificial light from bulbs.
10. Drink a glass of cold water
A full glass of water to start the day will boost your metabolism.
It gives you energy without affecting your digestion.
Some dieticians believe that the energy expended to digest cold water causes this positive reaction.
Even better, add a few drops of lemon juice to the glass of water to experience the benefits of lemon water.
11. Listen to music
Not only does music play on your mood and energy, but it's also a good way to gauge the passage of time.
The trick is to listen to a playlist of a fixed length or listen to a morning show to find out if you are on time.
12. Do not use your laptop, computer or TV
If you're trying to save time, don't get carried away with text messages, emails, or TV shows.
13. Set a fixed time to leave your home
Choosing a fixed time to leave home has been proven to get to work earlier.
If necessary, program an audible reminder on your mobile.
14. Reduce your "beauty gestures" to the essentials
Ladies, for example, you can save time by using multi-purpose beauty products, such as foundation that doubles as a concealer.
15. Eat a hearty and quick breakfast
For optimal energy, you need to eat breakfast.
Foods like cottage cheese, muesli, and fruit are nutritious and quick to eat.
16. Store your keys, bags and coats
Do not spend 10 minutes desperately looking for your keys just before leaving.
Clean up your daily routine to save time every morning.
