    Tick tock goes the clock.

    Natalie Evans, a mom influencer who runs @livingwiththeevans online, revealed a parenting hack that helps her 5-year-old get ready for school in an efficient fashion — and in under 40 minutes.

    “This is a game changer for getting ready, out the door & on time every morning!” Evans confessed in a post on August 25 .

    The South Wales mom demonstrated how she keeps her tot on schedule, in a clip online, showing how she color codes her clock in different sections so the child can understand the tasks that need to be completed before the clock strikes a new block.

    • Orange concludes that she should be ready for school.

    Evans admits this color-coded hack allows her child to stay on time even though if the child isn’t fully aware of how to read a clock.

    “My 5-year-old has no idea of time.’You have 5 minutes to brush your teeth.’ Means absolutely nothing to her!” the mother wrote online.
