10 WAYS TO AVOID BEING LATE
Tip no. 1: Save more time in the morning. Wake up earlier. Set your alarm earlier than usual or get up as soon as the alarm goes off. If you are too tired to wake any sooner, just think about the consequences that will ensue when you come late during that day.
Tip no. 2: Prepare the things you need the day before. Preparing your things early saves you a lot of time. It also avoids haste that sometimes can cause panic or would only make you forget something to bring or do. For example, if you prepare the things you need the day before then you're all set for the next day without any hurry.
Tip no. 3: Change your thoughts about being early. A lot of people think that keep others waiting are important. Therefore, being early is a sign that they are not that important. And no one wants to feel unimportant. So start changing your thoughts about being early.
Tip no. 4: Know yourself more. You should figure out why you are always late. Is it cause by fighting for traffic? Alarm clock issues? Wardrobe issues? If you don’t give yourself enough commute time, leave the house earlier. Whatever the cause of the tardiness, identify the problem and address it as soon as possible.
Tip no. 5: Plan an efficient schedule. Try to set your clock a few minutes early. This sneaky strategy is done by some students which can help even the habitual latecomers make their appointments. Reset your clock every day so you will never know whether it’s 10, 15, or 20 minutes ahead of time.
Tip no. 6: Make sure that your alarm clock is working or effective. Have you ever been late because you missed your alarm or simply because you forgot to set your alarm clock? Do not be ashamed because we have all been there. Checking if your alarm clock is still working before you go to sleep is a must, if you can use your phone as a back up then make use of it for you will know when your phone is dying unlike with usual alarm clocks which just stop working without any warning. Lastly, make sure that your alarm or ringtone is as loud as your mom when she is waking you up.
Tip no. 7: Have a mindset about your grades. Are you a grade-conscious student? Being late continuously does not only disrupts the entire class when you walk in late, but also impacts your behavior and may affect your academic grades. Having a clear mindset about your grades every day could help you to be punctual and avoid tardiness.
Tip no. 8: Do the math. Don't be scared because we are not going to do real maths here but just a bit. It is very important to set time for the things you need to do. Waking up two hours early than your call time is forgivable if it only takes you 30 minutes to go to your destination, now that gives you one and a half hour to get ready. Divide your time for bathing, getting ready and other stuff you need to do. Having a "schedule" like this will help you avoid procrastinating and wasting anymore time.
Tip no. 9: Get an ample amount of sleep. 6-8 hours of sleep is necessary not just for your health but for having the energy to wake up when you need to be awake. Enough sleep gives you energy to avoid laziness and get yourself ready on time.
Tip no. 10: Keep in your mind to wake up early. Every time before sleeping, keep in your mind that you have an alarm and you need to wake up early then when you wake up keep on thinking about waking up early for the next day. Repeat it until your body clock change. It may sounds weird but it is really effective, when you keep on repeating the thought of waking up early your brain will tend to absorb the planned scenario in your mind then your body clock will follow.
