Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:-

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 to just two minutes ahead instead of five or ten.

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 time is passing as quickly as it is.

Set all your clocks and watches at 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 7:30 p.m.,

don't think you can work till 7 p.m, then take a bath, get 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 in time.

Wake up when you are supposed to wake up, don't hit the snooze button, keep on lying in bed and

watch TV at the very start of your day. Maybe try even setting your clock 10 minutes earlier than you

need. If you have difficulty with this, move your alarm clock somewhere away from your bed, that

way, you 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 o'clock don't even tell yourself 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 and unforeseen delays you

will be on time even with the traffic jam.
