Set out breakfast bowls and cereal the night before school
Pairs with packing the school bag the night before for a genuinely calm morning.
Why it works
Morning breakfast prep competes directly with getting dressed and out the door on the same tight clock. Setting bowls, cutlery and non-perishable items out the night before removes that competition — only milk and any hot food are left for the actual morning.
