NWR: How long does it take you to get ready for work?

I can't understand why it takes me an hour to get ready for work. What am I doing? I decided to time myself today...and my hair takes me 5 mins (just throw it up in a bun or whatever I come up with). As far as my makeup, well that took me 30 mins! Why am I spending so much time on this? Smh. I...

I can't understand why it takes me an hour to get ready for work. What am I doing? I decided to time myself today...and my hair takes me 5 mins (just throw it up in a bun or whatever I come up with). As far as my makeup, well that took me 30 mins! Why am I spending so much time on this? Smh. I shower in the mornings and have to get my 5 year old son ready as well. Anyway, just wondering how long it takes the ladies of WW to get ready. I'm thinking I need to get my makeup routine down to 10-15 mins.

    I take about 10 minutes. My first alarm goes off at 6, but I don't get out of bed until 6:30 usually. Then I brush my teeth and toss on clothes and run out the door because I'm almost late.

    Well, this morning I didn't wake up until 7:25 and I have to be at work at 8...oops. Never showered so fast in my life. Was at work by 8:05.

    Usually about half an hour--I get up and shower first, then make breakfast and lunches while H is showering. Eat breakfast, grab lunch and work bag, and kiss him goodbye. I also am fortunate enough to be able to wear whatever I want to work, so as long as I'm neat and clean I don't worry about clothes too much. I also don't wear makeup on a daily basis, and my hair is a ponytail or bun most days. Keeping it easy!

    I shower at night so I don't have to do that and dry my hair in the morning, but it still takes me probably 30-40 minutes to straighten my hair, brush my teeth, makeup (which is only like 5 minutes of my time). I have no idea why it takes me so long...maybe tomorrow I will time myself and see what is eating up my time haha

    My hair is halfway down my back and it takes me about 25 minutes to get dressed, brush my teeth, do my makeup and straighten my hair. I pick my outfit out the day before, and make sure to set the timer on the coffee so it's done when I'm up. I also pre-pack my lunches. Usually out of bed at 6:20 and out the door no later than 6:45, 6:40 on a good day.

    10 minutes on makeup, 10 minutes on shower, 10 minutes getting dressed and throwing my hair in a bun, and 5 minutes getting coffee and breakfast to-go.

    Takes me forever, I'm so slow in the morning. Up at 5:15 but out the door at 7....7:15 if I'm running extra slow. Shower, cook breakfast, make lunch, hair, make up, about 20 minutes deciding I have no clothes to wear....

    It takes me a while but that's only because I hate feeling rushed. So I like to be able to leave wiggle room for the days when "absolutely nothing looks good and you have no clothes or anything to wear". I wake up at 5:45am shower not washing my hair, brush teeth, contacts, let the dogs out (this all usually takes about 30min), brush and quickly flat iron kinks (5-10min), make up (10-15min), get dressed, make lunch for myself and FH (10min), and FH usually makes breakfast while I make lunch.

    Edit: I have to be out the door at 7:20ish to make my commute to work to be there by 7:50ish to find a parking spot and get ready for morning report.

    I can be out the door in 20 minutes if I don't eat or have to worry about the dogs, throwing laundry in, etc. I usually take about 45 on a typical morning with everything else.

    Half hour tops! Unless I'm in a super big hurry, I've showered, dried my hair, and done my makeup in 10 minutes before.
