How to Get Ready for Work and Leave the House Faster in the Morning

With hectic schedules it's hard to find time for the things we enjoy. If you figure 1 hour to shower and dress, 9 hours at work, only a 1 hour commute, 8 hours of sleep, 1 hour to cook, eat, and clean up in the evening, then that leaves us all 4 hours during our day to do other things. Just four hours of a twenty four hour day! Wow, that's not much. But there is a way to save time in the mornings.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Organize clothing by outfits so getting dressed is faster. You won't have to try to match items while your half awake. A quick match and guys do this naturally is to buy neutral colored pants or skirts that will match anything. These colors are tan, black, brown, or khaki. Ever wonder how guys get dressed in 3 minutes and can just reach into the closet and choose a top and bottom and they seem to always match? Well, now you know the secret!

2. Multi task while in the shower by brushing your teeth while your conditioner is working on your hair. Use cleansers that contain moisturizer or use moisturizer sprays for after the shower so you don't have to rub lotions onto your body. Use shampoo / conditioner combos so you can wash your hair in one action rather than two.

3. Buy breakfast that can be eaten in the car without endangering yourself while you're driving. Protein shakes and protein bars fit this description and will even help you to manage your weight while you save time and eat healthy.
