Punctuality.......need to be improved....

Time management can refer to all of the practices that individuals follow to make better use of their time, but such a definition could range over such diverse areas as the selection and use of personal electronic devices, time and motion study,[3] self-awareness, and indeed a great deal of self-help. As narrowly defined, it refers to principles and systems that individuals use to make conscious decisions about the activities that occupy their time.
Many people run late because they suddenly realize, in a mad rush, that there are so many things that must be done before they can leave. Which tasks or activities prevent you from being on time? Which tasks or activities can you defer to a later time, and which can you tackle at an earlier time? Consider, for example, what you commonly do before leaving for work in the morning. You have to pick out what you'll wear and then grab it out of the dryer, brush your hair and teeth, cut up some fruit for breakfast, get the cookbooks back in their proper place and organized the way you like them, etc.
Beside that, we need to make the effort to observe the average duration of your commute. If your route is unfamiliar, give yourself extra time than what your mind tells you is sufficient. Watch the weather and traffic reports. Beneath all of the bafflement and lack of progress is a genuinely different perception of time itself. Ask a friend to tell you the time without looking at a watch. If you've got a problem being punctual, I bet her estimation is more accurate than yours.
Lastly,make punctuality a priority. As much as I told myself and others that I could never figure out why I was late all the time, I ultimately came to terms with perhaps the most fundamental reason for my tardiness: I hadn't made punctuality a priority. My de-emphasis had become a handicap. And yet I knew that, to many important people in my life, the tardiness conveyed a lack of consideration for them and their time. Everyone else manages to be on time most of the time, right? They do so by making the effort to plan ahead, manage their time, consider commute factors like weather, and examine their own personal time-wasting propensities. You can do all this, too. The important people in your life are waiting for you to do it.
Maybe you're on time for every important business and social function in your life, but if you've read this far, my guess is that you're more like I've always been - your intentions are good, and yet, to your surprise, you never seem to achieve punctuality. But don't resign yourself to a future of constant tardiness. By replacing bad habits with good habits, you can become that punctual friend, coworker and family member you've always wanted to be.
