[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work tomorrow, my kid was in bed by 8 and I have just gotten in bed. My car keys are on the counter right next to my wallet and phone which I always charge in the same place. I have packed my kids lunch and mine and they are both in the fridge ready to grab in the morning. My work clothes are literally laid out so I can get dressed in the almost dark while DW sleeps. DDs clothes are also laid out, with her shoes next to them so DW doesn't have to hunt for them when she leaves the house. This makes our mornings smooth and stress free. Anything that needs to go in the car in the morning goes next to the car keys the night before.    
I get paid every two weeks so that's when I pay my bills. So I'm only paying bills twice a month and not constantly trying to remember what's due. Do you have a calendar? If not you need one for appts etc. I even write down the days DD has show and tell so I don't forget. There's no shame in writing stuff down.[/quote]

This is pretty much us to a T.  EVERYTHING is done the night before.

We live by our phone calendars. That way stuff can go in instantly (ie. the parent who asks at soccer practice if we can bring snack next week? I put the snacks on my shopping list and the reminder to bring them on the calendar while we stand there on the soccer field.) All school stuff goes on the calendar at the beginning of the year. Stuff that is a repeat is automatically repeated weekly/monthly/etc (ie. show and tell/etc.) I use the same calendar for work events so I ensure that work and home don't conflict and if I need to leave early to get the kid to a doc appt, I don't book a meeting too late in the day. I must look at my calendar 20x a day to make sure I am not missing anything. I set reminders on my phone to alert me (call and schedule that eye appt) and make sure to set the reminder when I can stop everything and do it right then and there.

Once you get into a rhythm, it is easy to maintain.[/quote]
