Tip #1: Pre-pack your kids' lunches and backpacks.
Tip #2: Review your next day's schedule, and your kids' schedules, before bed. You'll sleep better—and dress better—if you know what's in store.
Tip #3: Have the coffee machine prepared so that all you have to do is press "on." Or make a pitcher of iced coffee ahead of time. Keep a to-go cup handy so you can take your coffee out the door.
Tip #4: Prearrange your clothes, ironing anything that needs it. When possible, buy wrinkle-free.
Tip #5: Coordinate the bathroom schedules of the people you live with.
Tip #6: Have a lineup of several routine breakfasts, with at least one being portable.
Tip #7: Keep your makeup case organized, and minimal, with your everyday things most accessible. Have two different makeup routines—one normal, one makeup "lite" for really rushed days.
Tip #8: If you tend to linger too long when you read the newspaper or take a shower, set a timer.
Tip #9: Get a low-maintenance haircut.
Tip #10: Prepack your briefcase and/or purse.
Tip #11: Keep your cell phone in its charger, right on top of your briefcase or purse.
Tip #12: Morning is no time to be industrious. If you're hit by the urge to wash a few dishes, pay a few bills, or clean up old e-mail and mail—fight it!
