Prepare in the p.m.

Mornings are a mad rush? Understood. That's still no reason to totally skip breakfast, though. The trick is to start preparing early—even the night before. To help yourself out, try any of these evening approaches.

• Hard-boil eggs and put them in the refrigerator.
• Set out plates, bowls, flatware and nonperishable foods such as cereal and muffins so they're ready when you are.
• Do chores that you normally save until morning, such as putting out the trash, making bag lunches or emptying the dishwasher.
• Cut up fruit that you can spoon into a bowl with your cereal for an instant breakfast.
• Slice bagels in half and store them in an airtight plastic bag.
