Incorporate the "Four-song rule" into your morning routine to avoid taking too long.

"The idea is that if you like listening to music in the morning, you can use songs to time stuff you do, instead of using a clock. Assuming the average duration of a song is around 5 minutes, you can get ready in 20 minutes.

"Here is how I do it:

Song 1 - Brush your teeth and floss.

Song 2 - Your hot water is ready, take a shower and if you're a bit of a bathroom singer, just sing along.

Song 3 - Get dressed, and maybe dance around while you're at it.

Song 4 - Accessorize, put some cologne on, pack your bag, turn off the music and you're good to go.

"Some good music in the morning makes my day and this way I can save a lot of time. I am a lazy ass, and I used to take about an hour to get ready earlier. Now I use the time I save to sleep!"
