I do love a schedule. When I wake up a little early to take care of things before the boys wake up, everything seems to go smoother because I'm not in such a rush. When I turn all electronics off 30 minutes before bed and wind down by reading, I sleep better.
I'm starting a monthly segment where I have YOU answer a specific question for me. I loved the feedback this month on what you do to make your days run smoother, and here are many of your answers.

I like the idea about a post it note on the mirror with things to do that day. I love lists and I love post it notes. I may have to try that!
I love the hugging your husband one and making your bed!
I pick out my clothes at night too. Although sometimes I still wind up changing, ha.

These were all so good! I also lay out clothes the night before, otherwise Coop will come downstairs wearing a pj top and swim shorts for school!
i love these! :) such great tips - especially the hug one :)
You are so sweet ma'am, I see mine up there ;) love that you are doing this. Such a fun idea to get so many women inspired!
Working out every morning has done wonders for me, too. Also, I love the make the bed tip...I used to do that, but have been slacking lately. I'll have to get back to it!
I love Sarah Jane's suggestion about the hugs! That one is so true! I always have a better day when it starts with a big hug and kiss! :o)
I like having my days run smoothly, but I don't like being scheduled necessarily. Instead I make lists and try to knock everything off when I can. If I don't get to all of it, I don't stress - I just try to find where I can fit it in in the next few days. If I didn't write it down though, I'd forget it! :o)
awe i used to do the post it on the mirror too~ love this post! xO!

What a cute idea! I love seeing what others had to say. I need to follow some of these because before leaving for work it's like a tornado spinning through the house :D
Thanks Ashley for sharing my thoughts! This is such a cute idea!
I am definitely saving this post! Love it. xx
Great tips. A to do list is a must for my day to go smooth. I tend to forget things so having a list helps me a lot.
These are great tips I think I need to start getting up early to get more done!
Love this new segment and all were great advice!! I need to add a view to my routine...but the only way my day will run smoother is if I grab a Diet Dr. Pepper first thing! ;) Happy weekend.
These women are smart! I need to start doing this.
I set my alarm for 15 minutes earlier than I need to wake up- so I feel like I'm sleeping in a little bit.
I'm nuts but it works.
Love your blog.
Your blog is so cute! Love finding other Mormon bloggers. Newest follower!

I'm the world's most unorganized person, and I get the feeling that it will eventually bite me in the butt.
These are great suggestions!
These are great!
super idea ^_^ ♥
Enjoyed this post... so many great ideas! Hope you have a great weekend too!
They are definitely great tips! I weekly menu plan which just means that I don't have to stress over the age old questions: what's for dinner!? or "what's for lunch!"?
Oh my gosh! I am loving your blog! I am your newest follower!

Those are some great tips. I still have to share mine with you... after I get my life in order :)
I love this series! So fun and helpful :) I think no matter what, it's definitely helpful to have a little "me" time - whether it's exercising, reading, or just reading some blogs.. it's important to have some alone time to regroup!
I'm going to love this series, such a great idea! And thanks for using my tip! I love hearing what everyone else says too! Great job!
Great ideas! Thanks for including my suggestion! I also do the laying of the clothes and making the lunch the night before. Basically, anything I can prepare in advance I do. It helps things run smoother.
I LOVED this post! I also need to start shutting off electronics before bed but I feel like that's when my blogging time fits in. Any suggestions? When do you fit yours in?
this is a great idea! i love everyone's tips! i am going to DL that bible verse app right now. that seems like the perfect way to start the day!
I really need to get back in the habit of laying out my clothes the night before. It would keep me from having those "OMG, I have nothing to wear!!" moments 15 minutes before I need to leave for work.
Those are great tips! I definitely do not do enough things the night before.
this is such a great idea, ashley! i love this post :) so many good tips to get your day off on the right foot!
I needed this, sometimes life gets so overwhelming that you just need to stop and start over with some of these. Great idea!
I have made a quick, simple, and realistic schedule in the morning (when I am in classes I do this daily) that I learned from "How to Become a Straight-A Student" by Cal Newport. I really wish I had read this book as a freshman but it gets me motivated and tunnel vision focused. I read it about twice a year. Now that I have taken this fall semester off from Grad School I know I need academia for multiple reasons.
