3 WAYS TO BE PUNCTUAL
Punctuality
suggests dependability. In a society where promises are often
broken and commitments frequently ignored, people appreciate those who stick to
their word. Dependable people earn respect from friends and family. Employers
value those who arrive on time for work and meet deadlines. Dependable workers
may even be rewarded with a higher salary and greater trust.
Punctuality
indicates competence. When you are on time, it shows that you
try to be in control of your life instead of allowing circumstances to prevent
you from doing the things you want to do.
Some have found that arriving at appointments a bit ahead of time
actually reduces stress. Punctuality also enhances a person’s reputation. So,
what can you do to be punctual?
Advance Planning; if
you find that you are regularly late for appointments, perhaps your schedule is
too full. Why not cut nonessential time wasters? Schedule more time between
appointments, and aim to arrive early. This will allow for unexpected
circumstances, such as traffic congestion or bad weather.
Modesty; This means
knowing your limitations. Decide whether an appointment or deadline will
realistically fit your schedule before agreeing to it. By overbooking, you add
stress and frustration —to yourself and to others!
Priority;
Make the best use of our time. Give priority to the most important tasks.
For example, while using public transportation or waiting for others, take
advantage of the time by catching up on reading or by planning the rest of your
day.
“The plans of the diligent surely lead to
success.”
