Predictably, set the clock for 30 minutes as you prescribed, and we worked for 70 minutes.

And once you're started, it's easy. The home office was an overwhelming project, much like your wardrobe.<br /><br />My current routine in the morning is as follows:<br /><br />6-6.30am. Get up<br />6.30-7. Blog reading/writing and cup(s)of tea<br />7-7.30. Decluttering<br />7.30-8. Shower/bathroom time, face routine, body moisturise<br />8-8.30. Breakfast and read book or magazine, coffee<br />8.30-9. Brush teeth, get dressed, makeup, hair, make bed, quick tidy of house<br />9am. Depart for work<br /><br />I wash my hair every second day so on those days I try to be in the shower at 7, 7.15 at the latest to have time to dry and style hair.<br /><br />Thank you for your interest!Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-40418244029390731792010-08-04T14:52:18.545+12:002010-08-04T14:52:18.545+12:00I love this.

Suddenly, little bits of spare time can be used to tidy up a room or make a dent in what used to seem like an overwhelming project.<br /><br />Congrats on being so productive in the early morning!<br /><br />Curious - could you share sometime what your "chunks of time" in the morning consist of? I'm gonna guess...6:30 AM for showering? <br /><br />I'm one of those people fascinated by daily schedules and how people fill their time and get out of the house on time each morning!sunnyhttp://sunnysblog.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
