what is the harm for not being punctual?
how to be punctual 怎样遵守时间
1.acknowledge that you are a person who is having a hard time being punctual. as with any problem, you cannot fix it if you're in denial that it's a problem at all. but if your chronic tardiness is beginning to strain your job and/or your relationships, the first thing you need to do is acknowledge this as a weakness so you can begin to work toward correcting it.although if it is a rational problem,like traffic or small children,there is no need to feel bad-just keep working on it!
2. wake up when you're supposed to wake up. don't hit the snooze button, linger in bed, and watch tv at the very start of your day.maybe even try setting your clock 10 minutes earlier than you need to. if you have difficulty with this, move your alarm clock to somewhere out of reach from your bed; that way, you have to get up to turn it off. acquire the habit of sitting up, stretching, and getting out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off. if you can't get out of bed on time, you may be going to bed too late. try sleeping earlier to allow yourself at least 7 hours sleep. by getting up late you are setting a pattern of lateness for the rest of the day. for more tips on how to do this, see the related wikihows section below.
3. commit yourself to being 15 minutes early for everything. if you have to be to work at 8:00, don't even tell yourself this. just tell yourself (and everyone else who listens- but dont 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 interruptions. you will be on time even with a traffic jam. and on those rare times that you actually show up 15 minutes early; you will get kudos for being an enthusiastic employee.you can also chat with others who are early,and that will make you happy before work!
4. bring something you can read in short segments almost everywhere you go. this makes it easy to be early, since in the 10-15 minutes you have before an appointment/event, you can get a few pages of reading done. this makes it feel like you're getting something done (and you are) while you are waiting, if you do have to wait. you can get a ton of reading done this way, too.
5. watch yourself for a few days to see where you often waste the most time. these time sinkholes (such as getting distracted while checking emails) are often unnoticed by us and can throw off your daily planning. try to change your habits around these activities. for example, standing up while quickly checking your emails makes it hard to lose an hour randomly surfing the web.
6. keep organized. disorganization is directly related to lateness. how often have you been late because you were looking for your car keys or couldn't find an important document? keep the things that you use everyday in some resemblance of organization and your routines will go smoother.
7. plan ahead.
o schedule something unimportant right before something very important. if you have an essential interview at 4:00, plan to meet a friend for coffee at the coffee shop next to your interview at 3:30. then, even if you are late to meet your friend, you will be poised to pounce on your meeting.but remember to tell your friend that you may miss your coffee(they might feel that you are ditching them.)
o pick out your clothes the night before (don't forget your underclothes and shoes!). if you need to bring something with you, set it with your car keys or purse.
o if you are going to some unfamiliar place, look over a map, or even drive there once if at all possible. have your transportation planned; if you drive, keep your car in good order and refill gas in the tank. if you ride a bus, know the route, have your fare, and keep cab money on hand in case of emergency. if you are depending on another person for a ride—have a plan b!
8. go to sleep on time. this makes it a lot easier to get up on time and helps you stay on task during the day. unless you know otherwise, assume you need eight hours of sleep every night. by far the majority of people need at least this much sleep. college students and younger need more. most people underestimate their sleep needs.
when you are late for appointments, meetings or work, you show a lack of respect for other people’s time as well as your own. punctuality is a problem for many people.
