Punctuality, or How to stop being late
Punctuality, or rather its absence, is the scourge of modernrights. If you can not arrive on time for a scheduled meeting with clients or superiors, if you can not finish your business on time, then you just need to develop your punctuality. How to do it?
The first and most important rule of punctuality is never to rush. It's not for nothing that the folk proverb says: "You hasten to make people laugh." In a hurry, you can easily put on different socks, run out of the house with hair curlers in your hair, or make a lot of other absurdities.
Haste inevitably gives rise to vanity, manyunnecessary, completely unnecessary actions. In a hurry, you can also miss something really important. Later, when you remember about this omission, you will have to come back and spend a lot of time.
How can I do it so that I do not have to hurry? The rules are old as the world, but still relevant. Prepare all the necessary things of the wardrobe, collect a briefcase or purse, polish your shoes. This will not only help you spend much less time in the morning, but also help you to forget nothing.
Admit to yourself: lack of punctuality is, above all, your laziness. If you are going longer than others, then it's time to get up early. If you are constantly late for waking up, then it's time to reconsider your habits and go to bed earlier.
Helpful tip: if you got up just before the alarm (10-15 minutes), do not try to "pop". First, still these minutes will not give you a proper rest, and secondly, the morning sleep is sweet and you risk not hearing the alarm trills.
Punctuality is "friendly" with a sense of time. Conduct a simple experiment. Cease a certain period of time and try without the clock to determine this segment. How close were you to the real result?
If you greatly underestimated the amount of past time, most likely this is the reason for your constant delays and lack of punctuality.
therefore It is useful to calculate how much time you need to perform an action in the collection process. Each interval is marked with an alarm clock - so you will know that, for example, the time has already left for washing or breakfast.
The time to leave the house is also best set on the alarm clock. At the alarm bell, you leave the house, even if you have not finished the previous cases. Remember, public transport will not wait for you!
By the way, quite popular method of "transferring arrows" so that the clock is slightly in a hurry and left youa time reserve of a few minutes is not a very successful attempt at self-deception. Subconsciously, you will still remember that you moved the hands of the clock ahead, so there will be no "gain" in time.
Various "outside" activities do not contribute to punctuality. If you need to during the gathering you needread a fascinating book, watch the morning TV series or news, search for suitable music, "surf" on the Internet, then stop being late to you until it shines.
Developing punctuality is a necessary and useful thing. Punctuality is not only a requirement of labor discipline, but also an elementary respect for others. Learn punctuality and remember that "accuracy is the courtesy of kings"!
