How to be Punctual
Are you having a hard time to being punctual? Meeting, dinner, job, family gathering, there are so many appointments you have to attend until you don’t know how to arrange your time, then make you always being late? But if you realized that you are always the late one and the others already think that lateness is your habit, it is the time to correcting it. Being punctual not only is a good habit, but also make others respect you and have a good first impression toward you.
First of all, we should be conscious of the time. Keep the watch accurate or make it faster than actual time. For those who are moving up the time on their watch will help them be earlier. Besides, you may keep a clock, phone, computer or anything that displays time in each room of your house and set all the clocks and watch to the same time.
Second, do not hit the snooze button, linger in bed. Wake up when you are supposed to wake up. . If you have difficulty with this, move your alarm clock to somewhere out of reach from your bed; that way, you have to get up to turn it off. Acquire the habit of sitting up, stretching, and getting out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off. Try sleeping earlier to allow yourself at least 7 hours sleep. By getting up late you are setting a pattern of lateness for the rest of the day.
Next, commit yourself to being 15 minutes early for everything. If you have to be to work at 8:00, don't even tell yourself this. Just tell yourself "I have to be at work at 7:45." If you do this, you will be on time even with little unforeseen interruptions. You will be on time even with a traffic jam. And on those rare times that you actually show up 15 minutes early; you will get kudos for being an enthusiastic employee. You can also chat with others who are early, and that will make you happy before work!
Last but not least, you may bring something you can read in short segments almost everywhere you go. This makes it easy to be early, since in the 10-15 minutes you have before an appointment or an event, you can get a few pages of reading done. This makes it feel like you're getting something done while you are waiting, if you do have to wait. You can get a ton of reading done this way.
