Bonnie shares how resetting her home—and even her car—each night before bed has transformed her mornings, helping her stay ahead of the chaos that often accompanies parenting. Her simple yet effective approach helps reduce stress and fosters a peaceful, organized environment for both herself and her kids. Key Takeaways: The Daily Reset: Spending a few minutes each night resetting your home creates a clean and organized space for the next day, reducing stress and allowing for a more peaceful start to the morning. Prepare for Success: The reset includes preparing everything you need for the next day—from setting up the kids’ beds with pajamas and books to restocking the car with essentials like snacks and swim gear. Modeling for Kids: Children notice and mimic the preparation habits of their parents. Bonnie’s four-year-old has started reminding her of the necessary items for outings, showcasing how these routines can foster independence in kids. Benefits of a Clean Space: A clutter-free environment in the morning helps create a positive mindset and mood, allowing parents to greet their kids with a calm energy. Adaptability: Being prepared opens up flexibility. Bonnie's car is stocked with everything her family might need, allowing her to quickly adapt to spontaneous outings without scrambling. Quotes from the Episode: "Getting to bedtime is like winning a gold medal in the Olympics, but doing the reset each night is life-changing." "The biggest gift you can give yourself is not to be cluttered in your mind, your car, or your home. It creates peace." "If you're prepared, it's a little extra insurance that you probably won’t need it."
