6 Morning Habits That'll Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

Follow these simple, expert-backed hacks and inject your a.m. with a little calm and confidence.

I’ve never been much of a morning person, and these days, I’ve got two young kids, a puppy and a husband who needs to leave for work by 6 a.m. every day. The hours between when my first kid comes in whining for breakfast and I sit down to start my workday are anarchy.

I accept that this is the season of life I’m in, and I know there are far worse things than a few hours of solo parenting through generally happy chaos. But as an otherwise organized human who thrives on order, I would like to feel like I’ve got my life together slightly more.
