With back-to-school just around the corner, now is the time to think about how you as a family will be able to accommodate get-out-the-door mornings with the implementation of a quick morning routine.<\/p>\n<p>I really don\u2019t like hurried mornings because I feel it sets the day up to be more stressful, and who wants to start their day off like that? If you\u2019re looking to simplify your morning routine, but you don\u2019t want to leave things to the last minute or overlook the important to-dos, here are 6 tips that will help you and your kids get out the door for school in the morning and still be on time.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>1. Assign a task to everyone<\/h4>\n<p>Dividing and conquering will help your to-do list get checked off much faster. Enlist the help of your children, even the younger ones, and give them each at least one task. One can clear the dishes while another grabs everyone\u2019s coats. Putting the responsibility on everyone will help all family members feel less stressed and get you all out on time.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Make lunches the night before<\/h4>\n<p>I think one of the biggest tips for getting out on time in the morning is to tackle the school lunches the night before. With many schools suggesting a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/litterless-lunches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">litterless lunch<\/a>, putting together your child\u2019s lunch may not be as easy as it was before, but the night before will allow for a lot more time to make a fun, nutritious lunch. Don\u2019t forget to make one for yourself too!<\/p>\n<h4>3. Keep breakfast simple<\/h4>\n<p>While certain breakfasts are more exciting than others are, you don\u2019t want to be late for your day because you just had to have chocolate chip pancakes from scratch\u2014again. Keeping breakfast healthy, but simple can aid in streamlining your mornings. There are many ways you can cook up eggs to keep breakfast exciting each morning, they\u2019re very healthy, but won\u2019t take up too much of your time to cook before eating.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51083\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/shutterstock_1043328154-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51083\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51083\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/shutterstock_1043328154-1.jpg\" alt=\"Happy parents and kids having fun tickling sitting together on sofa, cheerful couple laughing playing game with little active children son and daughter in living room at home, family funny activity\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/shutterstock_1043328154-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/shutterstock_1043328154-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/shutterstock_1043328154-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/shutterstock_1043328154-1-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-51083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get things organized ahead of time so everyone can feel calm and stress-free &#8211; for both you and your kids!<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>4. Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier<\/h4>\n<p>You may be surprised with how 10 extra minutes each morning will do to help get you out the door on time. Set your alarm clock 10 minutes earlier than you normally would or if you\u2019re prone to hitting the snooze button, set the time on the clock to be 10 minutes later than the real time. Tricking ourselves into getting up is early sometimes the push we need.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Set an early bedtime routine<\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t just set the time, but stick to it! Kids need a lot of sleep and if they\u2019re not going to bed soon enough, getting them up and moving in the morning can be a real struggle. The same is true for you as well! Set a reasonable bedtime\u2014if you\u2019re not sure what \u201creasonable\u201d is, ask your parent friends what time their kids go to bed\u2014we have an 8pm set time for our kids. If you&#8217;re having trouble with sleep times, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/daylight-savings-sleep-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">try the Gro Clock<\/a>\u00a0to help with bed time and wake time.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Keep things stress free<\/h4>\n<p>Stress isn\u2019t good for anyone \u2013 adults or kids. While there is a real push to make sure we\u2019re all on time in the mornings, having a calm, stress-free perspective will not only help make everything run smoother, it will set your day up to be happier and honestly? Less stressful.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, make sure you&#8217;re stocked up on <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/backtoschool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">back to school necessities<\/a> by shopping Well.ca now for everything you need!<\/p>\n<p>What tricks and tips get you and your family going with your quick morning routine?<b><br \/>\n<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]In just a few weeks, the mornings are probably going to become a lot busier!
