These morning routine tips and hacks will help you and yours wake up on time, get ready faster, and head to school with minutes to spare—and they don’t involve setting the alarm any earlier than you have to. Note: Big kids (middle school, high school, and college students) can handle this morning routine on their own. For younger kids, go through the routine with them step by step. Once they’re old enough, they’ll transition into doing it by themselves, giving you precious spare minutes back at night and in the morning.
