Avoid the chaos…
The chaos of Monday mornings, that is.
Here’s a quick (and probably incomplete) checklist.
- Clothes – Are they planned? Clean? Pressed?
- Meals – Are they planned? Do you have what you need for dinner? Are lunches packed? Are icepacks (or water bottles) in the freezer? Do you have a pre or post workout snack? Are you ready for breakfast?
- Homework – Is it done? (hey, this includes work that adults brought home, too) Is it typed/printed/assembled? Is it in the right bag?
- Bags – Are they packed? This includes purses, backpacks, lunchboxes, briefcases, gym bags, instruments… and probably more (there’s no arguing we’re a mobile society). Are they by the door?
- Alarms – Are they set? Are you ready?
