8 things you can do each evening to make your next morning better

If you're a night time person like me, mornings can be a real challenge.

By taking the time to do these 8 things the evening before, I've found my mornings to be much less trying:

• Make a to do list for the next day

• If possible, do one item on that list to make the next day easier
  

• Clean the kitchen sink

• Get to bed at a decent hour

• Pick a dinner from my menu plan for the next day and do any night before prep that’s necessary *

• If I have someplace to be before noon the next day, make sure that what I will be wearing is clean & ready
  

• Spend 5 minutes reading/watching/listening to something that inspires me

* Does menu planning with grocery lists sound like a good idea, except that you find yourself overwhelmed just thinking about it?

If you'd like some help getting started with the whole menu plan/grocery list thing, I have a email course series, Seven simple steps to menus and grocery lists, that can help. It's 7 simple emails that come at 3 day intervals. Each email includes a 3-day menu plan with corresponding grocery list. By the end of it you'll have 3 weeks worth of menu plans with grocery lists.
