Laurie had a hard time getting ready in the morning she went to sleep late and subsequently got up late. Because of this, she often had very little time to get ready and would always have to rush to get into work. Her manager suggested that she tried a nightly and morning routine to make her mornings less stressful. Laura was skeptical but agreed to try instead of staying up late on the computer or went to bed earlier than normal and set her alarm for the morning. In the morning, instead of hitting snooze. She got up ate breakfast and dressed for work.

She got there 15 minutes early and even had time for a cup of coffee.
