Question

(1).Keep your watch accurate. For some people, moving up the time on their watch will help them

get up earlier. For others, they will remember that the time on the watch is wrong and will

disregard it altogether. It may be helpful to set your watch just two minutes ahead instead of five

or ten.


(2).Keep a clock, phone, computer or anything that displays time in each room of your house. One

of the easiest ways to run late is simply by not realising that the time is passing as quickly as it is


(3).Set all your clocks and watches to the same time. Don’t be an optimist. Things usually take

longer than what you’d expect, even without major delays. If you have a dinner appointment at

7.30pm, don’t think you can work till 7pm, then take a bath, dress and reach on time. Realistically,

calculate the time you will take at each step and then add 10 minutes more to allow for unexpected

delays, or you cannot get to your job done in time.


(4).Wake up when you are supposed to wake up. Don’t hit the snooze button, keep on lying in the

bed, and watch TV at the very start of your day. May be you can try even setting your clock 10

minutes earlier than you need. If you have difficulty with this, move your alarm clock to

somewhere away from your bed; that way, you will have to get up to turn it off. Commit yourself

to being 15 minutes early for everything. If you have to reach your place of work at 8:00, don’t

even tell yourself about this. Just tell yourself (and everyone else who listens- but don’t annoy

them or make them think that they are late or early!) “I have to be at work at 7.45.” If you do this,

you will be on time even with little unforeseen delays. You will be on time even with a traffic jam.
