INSIGHT

Routines Should Shift With Seasons

  • Routines must change with seasons because different rhythms create different demands.
  • Updating routines saves decision fatigue and prevents last-minute scrambling.
ADVICE

Weekly Planning Power Hour

  • Set aside 20–60 minutes weekly to map work meetings, kids' activities, meals, and who does pickups.
  • Share the plan with your partner and post it in your home command center to avoid midweek surprises.
ADVICE

Night-Before Prep For Mornings

  • Spend 10–15 minutes the night before laying out clothes, packing lunches, and staging backpacks by the door.
  • Use visual checklists for younger kids so they can get ready independently.
