as well. Everybody wins.
Some suggestions to think about to help me overcome my bad habit:
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 semblance of organization and your routines will go smoother.
Be conscious of the time.
o Keep your watch accurate. For some people, moving up the time on their watch will help them be earlier. For others, they will subconsciously know that the time is wrong and so they just disregard it altogether.
o Keep a clock in each room of your house. One of the easiest ways to run late is simply by not realizing that the time is going by as quickly as it is.
o Set all your clocks and watches to the same time.
o Don't be an optimist. Things usually take significantly longer than you'd expect, even without major delays. If you have a dinner date at 6:30 PM, don't think you can work in your yard until 6:00, then shower, change, and drive across town and make it on time. Realistically assess the time you will take on each step and then add 15 minutes more to allow for unexpected delays.
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. If you have difficulty with this, move your alarm clock to someplace 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
To help me achieve my goal I will use smart targets.
“Goals and resolutions are a waste of time because
they set us up for failure.”
"Smart Targets do the opposite; the set us up for
multiple levels of accomplishment."
So what are Smart targets??
Specific
Do your targets say exactly what it is you need to do?
Measurable
Can you show proof that you have achieved your targets?
Achievable
Are your targets easy enough to
