Never let that be a problem again. I've developed my own fool-proof plan to get out the door in under 20 minutes (not including search time for misplaced keys, books, and wallets).
First things first, brush your teeth! This may seem obvious, but I know I'm guilty of running out the door mid-thought only to realize halfway to the T station that I forgot to brush my teeth and have to settle for some Trident (at least it's dentist recommended, heh).
No time to brush through that bed-head; run your fingers through any major tangles, spray a little Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray through your hair, and scrunch. It smells like summer on the beach, which will help get you going on those cold, grey days.
A little Benefit Benetint on the cheeks and lips give a rosy glow and it's so easy to apply that you can do it half-asleep. Just paint it on and smudge it around with your fingertips. A simple, smoky eye with a creamy dark eye pencil like Benefit Bad Gal is easy to achive; line the upper lid, and blend until you're satisfied, smudge a little under the waterline, and finish with a few coats of Benefit Bad Gal Lash and no one will know you woke up at 9:59 a.m. for your 10 a.m. class.
The biggest time consumer tends to be the closet, so I always have a default outfit for days like these. A v-neck tee, trendy jacket, jeans, and weather-appropriate footwear works for me. Throw on some jewelry, grab your bag, and remember-- there's always time for coffee. Nothing says awake like 150mg of caffeine.
You may not make it to where you need to be in under 20 minutes, but being late is better than missing your engagement all together.
