Avoid being late

Being the parent of students. I have to make sure they are up and about in time. So, i take note of what routines do they take the longest to complete and then we conquer the smaller tasks first. We also have to keep in mind the two other working adults in the house meaning that some things are taken care of the night before. We always have time to sit together and watch cartoons or have conversation until time to go wait on the bus.

orgenise your things the day befor.. and why not get up a little early- that way you can rest in the morning and not be under pressure

I've got no New Year's resolution and even if I have one I won't include that. LoL! Coz I seldom comes to work late. I usually get up early in the morning so I can do a lot of things – have breakfast, iron my clothes if there’s nothing left ironed, fix my things to bring for work, and I can even chat sometimes and play games for at least 15-20 minutes.

My resolution or *goal* for the new year is to get that personal trainer certification out of the way. I've been wanting in since 2009 and I'm getting it this year. I'm usually very punctual or early. I hate being late, it's rude and careless. This is the way I was taught, and it has stuck with me all of my adult life.

Well, I have learned to put on my makeup in record breaking time. I am probably one of the few women who can quickly apply makeup. YEAH! And yet, still have my sweetheart, my hubby, say I look good. Mine you, he has told me I look good even without makeup. He is scheduled for an eye exam and now, I am not so sure I want him to have that eye exam. :) He might end up with glasses that could help him see better. Ummm... I usually iron my clothes a few days ahead and get all my things ready ahead, Usually. I put my things that need to go to the car in front of the door, so that I am not wasting time looking around for library books or things I need to take to church or to a meeting, etc. If I put things in front of the door, that means they are ready to go OUT the door. I first started this system, when my kids were teenagers and our family was getting ready to go on a picnic. I packed the cooler and put it in front of the door. One of my kids, who was first out the door, opened the door and pushed it aside. Everyone else didn't see the cooler. So, I had to trained my family - 'if something is in front of the door, that means it goes into the car. If you are first out the door, you have the job of putting it into the car'. This took some training but finally my family 'got it' and this system did work. Now, its just my hubby and me and we both know if something is in front of the door, it goes out to the car. This system does work (with a little training) and it saves a lot of TIME.

We all want to manage our time efficiently. I usually plan my days work before starting. If I wake up late in the morning I make a routine and try to follow that. In my school days I was a lazy guy. I think it becomes a hassle if we don't plan the office work beforehand. After going to our office we realize that much time is wasted. I also distribute my work so that I don't get bored.

I tried to get up early and arrive to work on time for many years, but now I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore! Work was great though and I still miss the friends I made there!

I have a doctor associate I meet twice a month. Every single time she is late. It drives me nuts. I'm not kidding. She has not been on time ever. And I can't switch because I know her outside of the doctor realm. She goes to my church. And it would hurt her feelings if I switched. She's also even late to church!

Being more time efficient is a good one to add to diet and healthier eating. I like to be atleast ten minutes earlier for my appointments. I like to let them know I am there. Only right. I know about how long it takes me to get ready so I have my daughter start the car so it can warm and get my grandson looking for whatever he wants to take with him. It just takes alittle planning ahead.

hi, hmm,i think that is also one of my resolution this year but even how i out this in my list i can not still avoid it,maybe i really have problem with that because even how hard i try there always time that i am still late,but i can lessen it to be late.

When I need to do some things on the up coming morning, I set the alarm clock one hour before I need to get up, so, when it rings, I can have 1 hour to think how I'm going to do what I have to do, sleep some minutes and wake up more ready. Planing tomorrow is very good but, only if one actually follows the plan and no surprises come up. Motivation can help very much : you tel to yourself " Here I am, take control of tomorrow, nothing will surprise me, I have everything I need, I plan a good plan for tomorrow and I will do everything on time and enjoy it". Encourage yourself will help you follow your plan.

Before when I was working to save time and not to be late in my work I do my make up in the taxi and I'm really good at it.. In my kind of work we are required to wear make up so I really have to find a way so I can save time to do other things.. so when I arrived at work and if I'm lucky I can still eat my breakfast..

Well, I'm always late in my morning class. I have been doing some ways to avoid that now. I set my alarm three times. But sometimes I just can't avoid being late. Transportation sucks, but I know I can't use that as an excuse. But it's my number one problem in the morning, plus not to mention the traffic. The only solution that I can try is that to wake up even more early. Until now I'm really trying....

To help me from not being late for work,I make sure my work clothes are in the bathroom the night before. So when I get dressed,everything is there. My shoes are right out side my door and so is my coat. I also keep my car/house keys hooked on one of my purse straps so I don't have to look for them when I need them! That is some of the things I do to aviod being late.

I always wake up early to fix my kids' breakfast and school lunch. And along with that I start doing the laundry and clean the house. Thst ishow I makeuse of my time in the morning. So that I couldstll have my "ME" time atleadt 3 hours everyday.

I am an one who just plan to move from the home at 8:30 but certain activities make me late on some days which makes me late. there were days I moved from my home at 9. i find that bathing is the activity which makes me late but I can't stop doing it at the morning. I find it as very important. Bathing in the morning keeps me cool and fresh and help me to do my things well in a confident way. I find the perfect solutions for it: To get up early in the morning But in practical it is not working

Well,it seems a hard problem but actually is a simple one,just buy two alarm clock,one close to you and another far away from you and you need to get up to close it,so why not have a try?

Haha..That was one of my New Year's resolution and I cannot still make it. I felt as if I am always tired so I love sleeping and so it leads to be tardy. But I have a motivation right now. We have an immediate supervisor who is so strict when it comes to late so I need to change my tardiness habit already for my career. lol

i really can't rely on my alarm clock. i just ask my mom to wake me up and it has been working for me.
