We are all so busy with multiple tasks that we need to save time as much as we can. We all want to be able to get up as late as possible and still make it to work or school on time. What tasks do you try to complete before you go to bed so that you will be able to accomplish what you need to do in as short a time as possible in the morning? What ideas do you have and HOW do you accomplish these things the night before? Let's see how many ideas we can come up with to help each other with this.
One idea I have is to put out dishes, pans, etc. needed to get breakfast before I go to bed so I don't have to take the time to find and take out each glass, plate, utensil, etc. in the morning. I try to put pans needed for breakfast on the stove and place settings and serving dishes needed for breakfast on the table before I go to bed.

More than preparing in night , you can also wake up early in the morning , so that you can make up your works :-)

What I do is that before going to bed I always try to clean up the mess in the entire house, I already pour juice in the glasses and put it in refrigerator, the cheese are always sliced up, the dishes always washed up, so in the morning the house is clean, the breakfast is nearly done and the clothes are ironed too.

It's great that you are so organized! I wish I could say the same. I often leave tasks for the next day.
Pouring the juice and putting the glasses in the refrigerator is a great idea! Slicing the cheese will have them all ready to put in sandwiches or add cheese to other food more quickly.
I'm lucky enough to have a dishwasher right now which wasn't the case for most of my life. I try to have the dishes washed and put away out of the dishwasher before I go to bed, which saves a little time the next day.
Lately I've been trying to buy as many "wash and wear" clothes as possible so I don't have to iron as much. For example, I've been buying no wrinkle, permanent press shirts for my husband and son so they can wear them right out of the dryer.
I don't have to iron them, but they still look nice when they wear them if I take their shirts out of the dryer immediately.
