Separate External Elements from Internal Ones

Well, the anti-snoozing measures seem to be working well! Snoozing was the only element I could readily throw in the trash. Now it's time for the next step: Separate External Elements from Internal Ones.

This means that I should examine the list and ask the question, "What could be done at another time?" What items must actually be done in the morning (internal elements), and which can be moved to, say, the previous evening (external elements)?

The first candidate that comes to mind is the diaper washing. We use cloth diapers for our 8-month old and 23-month old, and these need to be washed every day. Normally, I'd start the wash load right before going to bed. When I'd wake up the following morning, I'd move the diapers to the dryer, then get ready, then pull them out of the dryer and fold them.

Why not take care of the whole shebang earlier in the evening so I don't have to worry about it when I get up, saving me precious morning time?
