Is it normal that i am so slow getting ready?

I take about 15/20 minutes in the shower, and I think that is too long, because I know some people can take 5 minutes or less. All I do in there is wash myself and my hair and put a hair mask in while I wash my face. I feel bad for taking so long, but I can't be fast.

I can never have a shower the same day as going somewhere if it is in the morning, because I won't have time. Without a shower, it is 2 hours, and even that is not always enough time.

It is never less than 30 minutes to do my makeup. It is about the same amount of time to straighten my hair, which is only shoulder length.

Brushing my teeth takes me about 5 minutes, and I am in the bathroom for 15 minutes when I brush my teeth, wash my face, use toner, moisturiser and mouth wash.

If I try to be fast, I feel like I am not doing it properly. I hate to rush, because I can't relax. I don't try to be slow. I just am.

Is this normal?

    I am the same way. How can anyone get thoroughly clean from a five minute shower? I don't know how someone can wash their entire body and face, and shampoo and condition in five minutes. At least without doing a lousy job and not even giving the soap and other products time to work.

    I take short showers because of the environmental impact but thats just my choice. I take 1/2 hour total to get ready in the morning.

    Unless you are extremely large it shouldn't take you that long to wash your body. I put a radio in my son's bathroom and told him one song should be enough time - 3 minutes! He is very slim though.

    Get a move on - you're wasting a good part of the day.
