Does any of this sound familiar?
- Your alarm wakes you up.
- You’ve got 60ish minutes to get yourself out of bed, showered, dressed, and fed before you leave for work.
- You would have gotten up earlier, except you got caught in a Netflix binge last night.
That’s no problem, though, because an hour is plenty of time, right?
But what if ..
- you don’t have any clean socks, God forbid!
- the coffee pot didn’t start on time, someone ate the last energy bar (which you’d been eyeing as your breakfast)
- you don’t have any clean coffee cups because you forgot to start the dishwasher last night, or
- all the towels are dirty?
You’re starting the entire day behind schedule. Argh!
You also forgot to charge your phone. Plus … what’s for lunch?
What about your plans for grabbing a workout later? Do you have everything you need? And by the way, where are your keys?!
