Yeah, shorten your shower. You should be able to wash your hair and body in about 15 minutes, tops, not 55. If there's some part of your shower routine that takes up the other 40 minutes (shaving? deep conditioning treatment?) do that at night.

Also, why does it take you 20 minutes to get dressed? I can be dressed and ready to go in 5. Don't say "Well I'm a girl we take longer" because I am also a girl, and we don't have to. If most of that 20 minutes is picking out clothes, do that the night before - pick out an outfit (including socks, underwear, jewelry, makeup if you wear it and shoes) and put everything in a neat pile on the floor of your room or somewhere you'll see it tomorrow morning, so you know where it is.

What complex styling is required that it also takes you a further 20 minutes to do your hair? Consider changing to a less labor-intensive hairstyle. If you straighten it, maybe take your straightener with you to school and straighten your hair there in the bathroom - you say yourself you've got almost an hour to kill before you go to class.

...Once again, why does it take you TWENTY MINUTES to brush your teeth? That's ten times as long as you need to brush them. I hope you brush your teeth and then cool your heels for 18 minutes waiting for your parent to get ready, or something. Even if you use a pre-rinse and a mouthwash, that only adds another 2 minutes to the time you spend on oral health.

If you shorten your shower to 15 minutes or less, pick out your clothes the night before so you can be dressed in 5 minutes, and figure out a low-maintenance hair style that takes less than 10 minutes to accomplish, your morning routine before brushing your teeth is reduced from eighty minutes to a mere thirty, so by 5:30 you're showered and dressed - leaving you a full hour and a half to eat breakfast and brush your teeth. That's practically enough time to cook up and eat some eggs, bacon, and a couple of pancakes or waffles, with time left over to do the dishes afterward. If you comb your hair at home but straighten/otherwise style it at school, you'll net yourself even more time. But if your breakfast style is more along the lines of "cereal and toast," then you can take advantage of your time savings and not have to get up at 5 AM. Then your schedule might look more like this:

6:15 - Wake up

6:25 - Shower

6:40 - Get dressed, comb hair

6:55 - Eat breakfast

7:15 - Brush teeth

7:20 - Leave for school

You'd get there 20 minutes later but whatever, you still have almost an hour to talk to your friends.

Try this instead

5:55- Wake up

6:00- Shower

6:20- Get dressed

6:30- Eat Breakfast

6:45- Do your hair

6:55- Brush teeth

7:00- Leave

wow ur slow at getting ready in the morning...my showers are 5 minutes!!! take a much shorter shower or shower at night(youre just wasting water) dont take 20 minutes to get dressed, do ur hair and teeth. seriously this is the most ridiculous thing i ever heard!

try taking 5-10 minutes to do everything instead of 20 minutes or almost an hour and u should be able to eat breakfast and wake up like an hour later.

Wow. You are VERY organized. I wish I was. Are you sure your only in 7th grade? Anyway, I would eat breakfast in the car or take a shower in the evening. If you pick out your outfit the night before you will have a lot more time. Hope I helped. Good luck.

Just grab a nuitrition bar, such as Luna, Larabar, or Special K bar & crunch it down with a napkin to avoid messes to use time wisely instead of getting bored on the road with an empty stomach. I left the 7th grade before summer starts. :)

either take a shower at night or shorten your shower time u dont need 55 minutes to take a shower

try taking a shower at night or just shorten it in the morning
