Thanks for your message!
Building a before-school routine is such a great way to feel a bit more in control in the mornings đź’—
Here’s a routine you could try, based on your current timings:
⏰ Wake up around 6:15: this gives you a calm start with enough time to get through everything without rushing
🧼 6.15-6.30 – skincare first: wash your face and do your morning skincare
💄 6.30-7.15 – get ready: this is your time to get dressed, do your hair, and if you wear makeup, apply that too – choosing your outfit and setting out anything you need the night before can make mornings feel less rushed
🎒 7.15–7.25 – pack your bag: include anything extra like a P.E. kit or school project so you’re not scrambling last minute
🍓 7.25-7.45 – have breakfast: something quick and balanced to fuel your morning
🎧 7.45-7.55 – wind down time: use your last 10 mins to listen to music, stretch, or talk to family – it’s a nice way to reset your mind before heading out
✨ 7.55 – head off feeling calm and ready for your day
Everyone’s morning rhythm is a little different, so feel free to tweak this until it feels right for you.
