SAVING TIME IN
THE MORNING (I)
Many of us ask ourselves why
we always feel that time flies in the morning. We feel that we don't do
everything that we should in order to go to work, school, etc.
Once I asked a friend to lend
me a book. He told me that he would be happy to and that he would bring
it the next day. When I asked him the next day if he had the book he
told me that he had forgotten and that he would try and remember for
tomorrow. The day after I asked him again if he had remembered the book
and again he said that he had forgoten it. To give you an idea of how
this story ends...I didn't get the book for a month.
This happens to lots of us,
this is why I am goig to give you the following advice which I hope you
can use in order to overcome the difficulties of doing everything
quickly in the morning (adapted from the author Rob S. Alhen).
If you have everthing
organized so that you can find it quickly and the order is logical, you
will be able to carry out many tasks quickly. Another idea is to study
the process we go through in order to carry out a task. Sometimes it is
possible to have things close to us and you can avoid going from one
room to another.
Steps
-
Have you ever had a bath before going to
bed? It seems incredible but this is considered a "radical" idea by
those that are used to having a shower. The author Alhen claims having
a bath before you go to bed helps you to relax and sleep better,
therefore, in the morning you feel fresh. Try it, you will notice the
results.
-
What shall I wear to work? What blouse?
What skirt? What tie am I going to wear? Which pair of shoes? However,
if in the morning we try to decide all of these aspects we loose
valuable minutes that we need in order to get to the office or final
destination. Therefore, I recommend that you organize what you are
going to wear the night before, organize everything and leave it in an
accesible place, so that in the morning you already have everything
ready and you don't have to rush in the morning.
-
If you usually have breakfast in the
morning, I suggest you decide what you are going to have for breakfast
the night before and leave everything out coffee, tea, milk, eggs, etc.
To avoid the food from going off you can leave it in the fridge and
heat it up in the morning in the microwave.
-
Some of us prepare sandwiches to take to
the office at break time or to eat whilst we travel. Therefore, I
recommend that you prepare these sandwiches the night before, that way
they are ready for you in the morning.
-
To
save time in the morning and avoid things turning bad, the best advice
is to prepare things the night before. It doesn't matter what you have
to take with you, food, articles, utensils, etc if you leave them
prepared you won't forget them. Doing this will releive potential
stress.
