7 Secrets to Arriving on Time

1. Value your own time and those of others in your life.
2. Be clear about what time you need to leave to get where to your destination. Add a little extra as a buffer in case something goes wrong.
3. If you car pool, and someone regularly makes you wait – leave without them (as long as they’re old enough to look after themselves). They’ll soon get the message.
4. Keep a clock in your bathroom. You can’t be on time if you don’t know what the time is.
5. And while you’re at it, check that all clocks in your home are set to the right time. That old trick of setting them fast doesn’t fool anyone.
6. Plan ahead. Check the night before that everything you need to take is ready – your clothes are picked out and ironed, route planned, documents prepared, lunch ingredients stocked up, phone charged, keys where they should be.
7. If all else fails, set your alarm 15 minutes earlier. A stress-free start to the day is priceless.
