Personal experience: how to live a hurried world, if you are late all the time?

In our society supertolerantnom made to justify a variety of traits, arguing indulgence phrase, "Well, can not all be perfect!". But if you, like me, are not very punctual, then you probably have repeatedly hit by numerous reprimands, insults and morality of the genre "punctuality - the politeness of kings." We will not understand the reasons for our tardiness, leave it to professionals. Let's think about what to do and how to live forever among the fleeing people.

Yes, I believe that punctuality - is a character trait, The same as carelessness, stubbornness, or generosity. I'm not trying to justify anyone, to run away from responsibility and the desire to get better. If we compare the "chronically late", then there is a lot of similar scenarios and behaviors. For example: you started to gather at an event a few hours, but still too late. Or even worse, you do not come out of the house. You do not feel the time when you plan to complete several tasks in a short time. You have agreed to meet a friend after 10 minutes, and come back in half an hour. Do you recognize yourself?

There are a few tricks that I use for a smooth interaction with the people who always come on time. Let's start with a simple:

Talk to the purity of family and friends. Describe your problem and what you feel about it. You do not like them to fail, keep waiting, feel embarrassed in front of other people? Let them know that you are responsible for your actions and try to be better. Then arrange them on a special time format. Teach them how to correctly interpret your own words. You promised to come to the two? So you should not wait two thirty. Adjust the difference in their and my time, based on the degree of neglect cases.

To understand the work will be more difficult (Especially if it is built on a strict schedule with a punishment system). And perhaps the only good advice is only one - to get up earlier. Note the time for which get to the workstation (using gadgets and applications you will easily cope with this task) and add to it ten more minutes.

You can certainly find a job closer to home, if possible, and even in front of you a huge opportunity freelancing. And if the work schedule does not require you second accuracy, try to negotiate with the authorities, and not to shun to stay at work longer if came later. Do not be afraid to call and warn of lateness in advance, you will not kill him.

The same applies to school. Use cunning and wit, like a real student. Negotiate with the group (or its individual members) about the cover. Analyze the situation at the beginning of the year: how teachers respond to individual latecomers. Note the university time - often it is slightly different from the time on your phone (which is automatically adjusted). Learn to anticipate the traffic situation by means of a plurality of available applications.

And the main thing. Stop constantly worry. If you're stuck in traffic, and the possibility to fix it is not - just relax. You are late anyway, but it will save your nerves.
