Get Punctual on Time

Punctuality is a gem; hence, we find it very rare in our society. But those who have it earn respect. Unlike many people say, "Arriving late gets respect

Getting late is a habit. when it gets you it follows you wherever you go. But if it is so punctuality is a habit too. And it is a good one. And what? It will benefit you in so many ways. So! How to get it right? Don't worry! It is pretty easy, only if you are determined.

Without taking much time let's get down to the business. I will tell you the same steps which I took to get myself on the right track.

Plan your day

Plan your day in the morning or, even better, the previous night.
What it will do?
You will have an idea of what is it going to be like in advance. It will help you understand the preparations you need to make. Hence, you will not be in a hurry.

Allocate enough time

Give enough time to each and every thing you need to do. Let me give an example.

If I had my class at 11 in the morning I would calculate the amount of time I need to reach to the class before 11.
If it takes 10 minutes from my home to the college I would leave my house by 10:45 at any cost. The extra five minutes is spare time if in case I get stuck on my way.

I have to have some food before I go. I will give 20 minutes for that. Although it will take only 5 minutes for me to finish my breakfast I will give myself a cushion of extra 10 minutes to wash my hands, take out food etc. That means I will go for food at 10:25.

It will take me 10-15 minutes to get ready - dressing up, combing hair fitting on my shoes etc. But I will keep 20 minutes for that. I will start to dress up at 10:05.

Before getting ready I need to clean up my body. I will keep another half an hour for cleaning myself. So, I will get into the bathroom at 9:35. Extra five minutes cushion would not hurt either. I will make it 9:30.

So, I will start at 9:30 to attend my class at 11:00. You might think I am using up time. I should not take 20 minutes to dress up. Or 30 minutes of cleaning up is too much. But if I stick to my schedule I will be on time most days. That's what we are seeking here. Even if I do not need so much time time as I have scheduled and get ready quicker I will utilize the saved time to clean my computer table, play guitar chords or check notifications. It is always good to be safe than sorry.
Set out in advance

Stick to your last schedule at any cost. Leave the house before the alarm. If any job is incomplete let it be. Consider it as a punishment. But do not let pending tasks ruin your other schedules. If any of your task is not getting complete schedule more time for that. Once you get going you will get an idea of how much time exactly do you need for any particular task. Modify your schedules accordingly.

Push yourself

And the last thing you need to do is push yourself. It is as important as the previous step. There will be times when you would look to lay back. Let me tell you, to let loose is so much easy. You will be tempted to do so everyday. You might also consider to relax for a day. But let me also warn you; if you do it for one day your determination will get weaker. I already said it is easy only if you are determined. So keep yourself motivated. Push yourself everyday, until it becomes a habit. It is a slow process. But success is not an overnight story.
