Prepare for the Next Meal

This isn't a new hint or even one I thought up myself but it's helped me many times over the years and I think it could help others.

When you finish a meal and get the table cleared, set it for the next meal. It really helps to get a head start on especially the evening meal when the table is ready to go.

In the kitchen do whatever you can to prepare for the next meal, especially breakfast. I set out the oatmeal bowls, pan for cooking, and juice glasses. I measure the water and oats and cover them for the night. When I'm still fuzzy headed in the morning it really helps to have this all done.

It only takes a couple of minutes to do all this but it sure seems to cut down on the prep time for the next meal when you're tired.
