I have to say I couldn't agree more, especially with the morning time one. I wake up every morning between 5:30 am and 6:00 am (depending on the day's activities) and I try to allow myself half an hour to myself before I wake up the boys. It is amazing how much more prepared I feel for the day. Sometimes I run on the treadmill, sometimes I just sit and drink a cup of tea, sometimes I write my to-do list, and quite often I manage to do all 3. The days that I do not allow myself this time, I definitely feel it. I feel much more organized for my day! All of these are absolutely wonderful, wonderful tips!

Mostly for when they were infants or toddlers, but really it works in general too. My mom, mother of 5, used to say that all the time- when the kids nap, you nap too.
