I hate rushing around in the morning, with the specter of being late hanging over my head. I used to run so late, I’d be brushing my teeth in the shower while the steam from the shower removed the wrinkles from my clothes. Breakfast was a dry, cold Pop-Tart on my way out the door. I had enough of the stress (and the wrinkles) and finally decided to straighten myself out. Here are 7 ways to save time in the morning.

1. Shower at night

Showering at night means you won’t have to blow your hair dry (unless you wet it again in the morning to style it). Imagine rolling out of bed, stretching, and … getting dressed! No waiting for hot water, no rushing through shampoo and conditioner.

2. Shave at night

I spend most of my shower time shaving my legs. If you shave at night, even if you decide to shower in the morning, think of how much time you’ll save!

3. Set your clothes out

How much time do you spend trying to decide what to wear? Or where you put your favorite black leggings? Or where that fringe handbag is, the one that matches your boots? If you decide at night, and set out all of your clothes, this is a hassle you won’t have to deal with.
