If you share a bathroom, or worse, share a bathroom with kids, getting ready in the morning can be tough. Consider giving everyone a “morning routine kit,” with one place for all of their toiletries and one place to store them all. One tote, no cleanup, a more organized bathroom, and an effortless morning.


Gather everything you normally use for your morning routine and put it in a basket, bag, or a waterproof tote (usually available at department stores—college students use them all the time.) If you want, you can create a spot to hang all the kits together, or you can just keep it in the bedroom.


The key thing is to have it outside the bathroom so that if family or roommates take too long, you can grab your kit and head to another bathroom (if there is one) so that their slowness doesn’t impact whether you leave the house on time. Plus, having everything in one place cuts down on having to look all over the bathroom for your toiletries if you don’t have a single space for them—or worse, having to organize them in the first place.
