I work overtime to prepare things for my daily routine. I finish every night with 30 minutes of prep work so When I rise at 3:50 I don’t miss a beat. I have friend who tell me I think way to much about the next day. I need to relax and enjoy my evening. Okay that all sounds good but what about that early rise with no gym clothes laid out, or no water and plexus at the back door ready to grab and go. I mean if I didn’t do it I would have to get up at 3:30am to get it all done. It only makes sense to me to prepare the night before.
I have several items in my home that help me keep it all together. Most of it came from estate or garage sales. A few came from Hobby Lobby like the 3 tier tower I have on my bathroom vanity. It holds all the things I use daily. Instead of having it in drawers, cabinets and containers its right there where I can grab it.
I keep things simple for that early morning gym time. I only wear black because it makes it easy to grab and go. No matching up colors or outfits. I always lay out my school clothes and workout clothing the night before. I have a dressing area in my bathroom that makes getting out the door easy.
Other ways I make the morning run out the door is a daily vitamin box so I don’t have to open all four bottles.
One of my favs is a 3 tier tower that I bought at an estate sale. It holds all my hair items. One with bobby pins, one with pony tail holders and the other with clips. I always know where they are at the corner of my vanity.
I wear contacts because I’m so blind. I use to hate having to clean them and remember the date I put them in. Was it 20 days ago or 30 days ago. Most of the time I had no idea. I switched to daily wear so no more of this time-consuming mess. I take them out and toss them out. Every night I lay out my new pair so I don’t have to waste time digging them out. Put them in and go.
Last but not least my favorite organize spot in my bathroom. I have this metal shelf I bought at a garage sale for $2. Yep I did and it has been one of the best things I ever bought. I don’t have my towels and wash cloths put away in a cabinet they are right out in the open at arms reach for myself and Greg. On the top shelf I have a metal basket that holds my products, perfumes and lotions.
I’m teased often about my over organized prepared life. I’m not sure if people really get me and how my brain works but I do know that wasted time is wasted time. No matter who you are that makes no sense to me. I love to move through my day knowing that I don’t have to look for things.
Do you like to organize your day? What is the most unorganized part of your life? Let me know maybe we can share things to help each other with our daily routine.
