Try out the following tips, reports huffingtonpost.com.

* Prepare your outfit, makeup, lunch and gym bag the night before. Doing all this early will make it that much easier to leave home on time.

* Sleep and wake up early. This way you will get sufficient sleep and things will be smoother each day.

* If you often hit the snooze button in the morning, set the alarm even earlier. This way you get to snooze, but also get to wake up on time.

* Drinking water is good, but to instantly wake you up try a large glass of iced water.
