How to be less late!

Imagine this, your alarm going off, you hit snooze, "just a few more minutes." You wake up with 15 minutes to get ready...And you are late! This happens to me way more often than it should, but I have created strategies to over come my chronic tardiness. So here they are.

1. Right after you do laundry match up a few To-Go outfits. I like doing two work and one casual. Then if you are running late instead of having to throw together something that looks awful you have something ready to put on. I usually put a dress, necklace, earrings, and shoes in my work outfit, it's easy to throw on. Then for casual maybe a pair of jeans, shirt, accessories, shoes, and whatever else I need to make it work.

2. To make sure you grab something that is easily forgotten, like a form, bill, or library books, put your keys and cell phone on top of it.

3. Have a To-Go breakfast waiting, put a piece of fruit, granola bar, and a bottle of water in the fridge or on the counter to make sure that your stomach isn't growling around 10.

4. Have an easy to do hair and make up routine that you can do in under 5 minutes total, ready to do. My favorite is the sock bun and quick colour combinations that allow for a margin of error. Try the neutrals, then if you miss a spot it blends right in.

5. To help you manage your time better, time yourself and create a music playlist that long. Start by adding slow songs that lead up to the fastest songs, that makes it easy to find out the approx. time without looking at a clock.

So there you go, just a few helpful suggestions that I found worked, thanks for reading!
