Instruction manual
one
If the main reason for regular delays is excessive workload, learn to clearly, literally by the minute, plan your work day or week. Record in detail all the important meetings and events that you must attend. Please note that it will take you some time to get from one place to another. Do daily scheduling for upcoming appointments. Use the electronic reminder feature on your mobile phone. This will significantly reduce the risk of being late and the chance of accidentally forgetting about an important event.
2
You can avoid being late by adding 10-15 minutes to the time that you plan to spend on negotiations or the road. This small margin will significantly increase the chances of arriving at your destination on time, despite the hitch.
3
Organize the fees correctly. Prepare clothes, shoes and necessary documents in the evening. Try to think in advance of the details of awakening and breakfast, so as not to spend precious minutes in the morning on this. For the same reason, do not check your e-mail before leaving, especially if you can sit in front of a computer and forget about time. Remember to timely replenish the gas tank of your car, so as not to be late for an important meeting, standing in line for refueling.

There is one trick that makes a person be more efficient. To keep up with work or study on time, set the clock 10-15 minutes ahead. This will not let you relax and make you pack much faster.

A system of rewards and punishments will help to develop punctuality. However, this method is effective for people with willpower and a fairly high level of self-control. For example, for each delay in work, perform a general cleaning of your room. A week spent without delay is rewarded with a trip to the cinema or bowling. Gradually, you become involved in the regime and stop being late, and the need for such motivation will disappear.
