Holy thread resurrection!!!
When i had a job everything was sorted the night before - my lunch, my uniform, my bicycle, the works. This meant the start to every day was smooth, hassle free, and I got the maximum rack time in the mornings.
Mrs D would do the opposite, running round like a loon to sort everything out, periodically panicking when something was awry. This meant she started he days on the wrong foot, with stress and worry.
Now I get up at 0530hrs to make Mrs D's lunch and fill her travel mug with coffee, thus alleviating some of the stress from her day.
A little bit of self discipline is all it takes.
