No time to rustle up a healthy lunch before you walk out the door at 8am? Easy: make an extra portion of dinner the night before and your lunch menu is sorted. Anything that reheats well, like a stir-fry, curry or soup, will beat another old sambo.
2. Dry run
Washing and styling your locks adds a (boring) hour to your morning routine, right? Consider going low-maintenance (in a non-hobo kind of way). Add dry shampoo to your beauty kit – the bonus is extra volume, minus the grease.
3. Go slow to speed up
Watching an egg boil isn’t always the most efficient way to kick-start your morning. Instead, throw mixed raw nuts and seeds in a bowl with a handful of berries and a helping of natural yoghurt for a slow-release breakfast with tons of bene? ts.
4. Keep it real
Hands up if your morning routine involves checking your Facebook feed before you’ve even brushed your teeth. Yep, we’re guilty of it too! Sidestep your smartphone so you don’t get sucked in to commenting on your friends’ announcements and funny memes on social media. Your own morning (and life!) is more important, after all.
5. Sack the snooze button
If you can’t muster the motivation to roll out of bed when the alarm buzzes, place your clock by the bedroom door just before you hit the sack. You’ll have no choice but to drag yourself from under the covers rather than thump the snooze button (that’s no longer in reach!). Sneaky, but it works!
6. Go old school
Don’t waste time rummaging around for gym gear – channel your mum’s wisdom and get your kit together the night before. A few minutes spent packing essentials will fend of that morning what-top-goes-with-these-tights meltdown.
7. Face up
Slapping the entire David Jones beauty department on your face every morning? Go for multitasking make-up: a BB cream, a cream blush that doubles as a lippy, and a thickening and lengthening mascara. Easy and cost-effective.
8. Get steamy
Forget the ironing board and hang your clothes in the bathroom instead. While you’re having a hot shower, the steam will smooth away wrinkles in seconds.
9. Stay smooth
Ditch your daily shower dances with skin-slicing razors for waxing or laser hair removal (if you want to spend the cash). Both are long-lasting, help hair grow back softer and finer, and won’t leave you cursing over painful nicks!
10. Clear out
Streamlining your wardrobe will make getting dressed a whole lot breezier – get rid of those harem pants you’ve been waiting to come back into fashion (sell them on eBay or donate them to charity), and move your winter woollies into storage. If you want to be even more organised, spend half an hour styling your week’s work out? ts every Sunday.
