Before now, I was a serial late comer, I used to be late to virtually everything. I could have up at 5am and still be late to a 10am class, which usually ended up with me having to listen to the lecture through a window. What people fail to understand is that some body who are chronically late to everything don’t do it intentionally. This often not the case as they might be battling a psychological warfare with anxiety or depression.
What is Time management?
Time management is the process involved in planning and regulating the amount of time we devote to some particular activities. Good time management on the other hand allows a person to achieve more in a shorter time frame, eliminates high level of stress, and leads maximum perfection.
Never be late again
Its quite true that overcoming lateness can be a tough nut to crack, but it’s one of the preliminary steps towards greatness. Few methods have been proven to help you curb lateness and boost productivity.
Setting your clock a few minutes early.
I used to have a friend in my first year uni that did this , and i always found it strange and useless. Not until i tried it a few years ago and i have to say was glad i did. I reset my clock every day so you’ll never know whether it’s 11, 13, or 20 minutes ahead of time. In the first weeks, I slipped so many times but I adjusted. Up to this day, my wristwatch is 15mins early. I enable me stop missing deadlines and rushing to meet up with an activity last minute.
Make sure you plan ahead
A very popular and probably now cliché say says that “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. Proper planning gives you the tools you need in completing tasks at the required time. Draft up a to-do list in order of importance of the tasks, put the non-essentials tasks at the the bottom of your list.
