Cook your meals ahead of time. Or you can cook larger meals so that you will have leftovers. This way you don't have to cook every night of the week, or spend time waiting in line for fast food.

Lay out your clothes for the next day and the kids' clothes before you go to bed. Then all major decisions will be made, and you will have everthing ready to wear. While you are at it,
