We’ve all been there - you’ve gotta get out the door right now and yet you or someone in your family just can’t find one of their gloves or their car keys or something. There goes another ten minutes spent looking for a missing hat or a buried purse, and now everyone is late.
Sounds familiar? If you’re tired of constant disorganization slowing down your morning routine, why not try adding some extra storage to keep everything where it’s supposed to be?
Personalized Bins
The first step to take should be to get everyone in the house their own plastic storage bins to hang on to easier to lose items. Keep a few of these in the entryway, clearly labeled with everyone’s name, to store smaller things like hats, gloves, and the like.
Assign Lockers
If you’re more into the industrial look, home lockers are the perfect way to keep coats, hats, and gloves together for fast access during the morning rush. Label a locker for everyone and keep them near the door to encourage organization and provide easier access to stuff when you need it fastest - on the way to work and school!
Give Your Keys A Home
You’re not going to get too far without your car keys, so out of almost anything else this may be the most important step! Get a key hook or letter holder of some kind for your entryway or front room to keep your keys within reach, and try to get in the habit of hanging your keys there to have them right in your reach when it’s time to leave.
Keep Your Purses Close
Of course, we can’t blame all of the rush to leave on the morning commute, right? Maybe you constantly find yourself looking for the right purse or wallet to go with your outfit, but they’re never quite where you expect them to be. Instead of stashing them on a high shelf or throwing them around the room when you’re done, clear some space in a closet or coat room to hang them all up next to each other in an easy-to-access fashion and keep them right where you need them - and out of the way when you don’t!
If you stick to these tips, hopefully you’ll find your morning commute and rush to get ready getting easier every time!
