4. Set Up Your Bag

A classic that always works: set up your bag the night before. Check your agenda for the next day, gather everything you need, and put it in your bag. If you've been to the gym and are going again tomorrow, take your towel out of your bag and replace it with a new one. Then, place your gym bag in the hallway or the trunk. If you're driving, also remember to check if you need to leave earlier to refuel or charge your car.

5. Give Everything a Designated Place

This should actually be point one. Give everything, and I mean everything, a designated place in your house, and make sure there's only one place for each item, whether it's your toothbrush, keys, or hair ties. Clean up all the hotspots before going to bed, put everything back in its place, and clear all surfaces (table, coffee table, kitchen island). Thank me later!

6. Place Important Items by the Door

Is there something you absolutely can't forget? Put it by the door, in your shoe, or somewhere else where you have to pass by.

7. Wake Up a Bit Earlier

Sounds like a no-brainer, but setting your alarm earlier can save you a lot of time. If you struggle with waking up earlier because it means less sleep, you can handle this easily too. If you wake up 15-30 minutes earlier, close your eyes 15-30 minutes earlier as well. It may not be the most enjoyable (you might feel like you're missing out on something), but it's effective. Try this for a few weeks, and you'll notice that you start enjoying going to bed earlier.

8. Make Your Routine Sacred

Don't work against but rather work with your internal clock. Wake up at about the same time every day and go to bed around the same time. Stick to this for about six weeks, and your new habit will be ingrained. Your body thrives on a consistent rhythm. Bonus points if you hit the hay early and rise early: each hour of sleep before midnight counts for two in terms of sleep quality. Waking up refreshed gives you an immediate advantage and makes you more resilient against (morning) stress.

A good preparation is truly half the battle for a less stressful morning. Good luck with these tips!
