Idea to Get Kids Ready on Time

If you know someone who’s always late, this clever tip might help—whether they’re a child or an adult! A TikTok mom’s simple but effective hack for getting kids ready for school on time is going viral, and it only requires a cheap wall clock and some colored markers.

Here’s how it works: She turns an ordinary clock into a visual schedule by dividing it into sections using five different colored markers. Each color represents a specific task and how long the kids have to complete it, making the clock look like a pie chart.

For example, the red section from 7:00 to 7:05 is for “waking up.” Then, from 7:05 to 7:20, the green section is for breakfast, and so on.

This brilliant idea makes it easier for little ones to see how much time they have for each activity—no more constant reminders like, “You’ve got two minutes to brush your teeth,” or “The bus is almost here!”

Honestly, this hack could work for adults too!
