Create a Clutter-Free Morning

Create a Clutter-Free Morning

Mornings are tough – So much to do in too little time. But your morning sets the mood for the rest of your day.

How can you make your mornings more energizing than draining?

Spend a few minutes each night setting yourself up for success.

  1. Make sure items like coats, shoes, keys, purses, and cell phones are put away, so they can be found in the morning.
  2. Keep up with your mail by at least recycling junk mail and newspapers each evening. Put all important papers in a designated home.
  3. Put all the clothing you have worn that day away, either in the laundry or back into the closet. Don’t forget to empty pockets of loose change and receipts.
  4. Tuck away any movies, games, toys, and remote controls to tidy up your living space.
  5. Pack up homework and office work, so the backpacks and briefcases are ready to roll in the morning.
  6. Clear your kitchen counter of clutter, by quickly putting things away.

None of the clutter-busting tasks takes long. Maybe only a few minutes each. But they will make a big difference in how your mornings roll. I’m sure they will help you create a Clutter-Free Morning!

    Life is simpler now that I work at home, but I used to make my lunch and set up the coffee with a timer every night before work.

      Same here. I used to pack lunch for the week on Sundays. It saved a lot of time.
