HOW TO BE ON TIME WITH DANIEL WELLINGTON

It’s important to see being on time as part of your whole attitude towards time. You’re never going to be on time, every time — whether for appointments, meeting big deadlines, or even to catch a movie — if you haven’t put into practice a set of good time management techniques.

1. be REALISTIC THINKERS.

Punctual people know how long things take. Chronically late people, however, think they do.

Being on time means being able to tell how long you need before you set out.

To develop realistic habits, you have to relearn to tell time. Write down how long you think it takes to shower, get ready in the morning and drive or catch a bus to work. Then for a week, track how long those things really take.

That way you are realistic about when to get out of bed and what to do a night before to keep to time.

2. GIVE yourSELf BUFFER TIME.

Punctual people are usually early. Being late makes them stressed out and they don’t like feeling rushed. "Late people get stressed out from being late, too, but they don’t strive to be early; they tend to time things to the minute."

For a 9 a.m. meeting, for example, a punctual person would try to arrive by 8:45 a.m. or 8:50 a.m., allowing enough time for an unexpected delay, such as traffic or a full parking garage. A punctual person reviews directions online, checks traffic reports before leaving, and some will even drive to a new location the day before to understand the route. To be punctual, plan to arrive early.

3. be ORGANIZED.

DeLonzor says that 45% of everything we do on a daily basis is automatic: "Our lives are filled with habits—from the way you brush teeth to how you get dressed and leave for work," she says, adding that they’re necessary. "If we didn’t do things automatically, it would take us forever to get through our day."

The habits of people who are always on time are highly structured. They analyze their daily activities, set routines, and stick to them on regular basis. Chronically late people, however, don’t have structure.

"Instead of thinking about why their routines don’t work and trying something different next time, chronically late people simply hope that tomorrow will be better.

To become punctual, put more routines and structure into your life. For example, do everything you can to prepare for the morning the night before.

4. be COMFORTABLE WITH DOWNTIME.

Being punctual often means getting to a meeting or an appointment early. Punctual people use the extra five or 10 minutes as a chance to catch up on emails, read over notes, or simply enjoy the solitude.

Chronically late people, however, hate downtime. They enjoy the thrill of that last-minute sprint to the finish line and crave stimulation. To be more comfortable with downtime, bring along something to fill those spare moments. "Knowing that you have something to occupy your time will help,”

5. SET UP THE NIGHT BEFORE.

 If you are, like me, someone who has a hard time getting going in the morning, make sure you set up the night before. Lay out your clothes, put your keys, wallet, etc. in tomorrow’s pants pockets or your purse, load up your bag with whatever material you’ll need in the morning, and put your lunch together, and so on. In the morning, wake up, take a bath, get dressed, grab your stuff, and go.

6. consider others.

Being punctual often means realizing that other people’s time is as important as yours.

It takes not wanting to keep others waiting or delay their plans to keep to time.

Because, at the end of the day, this is what it boils down to. Everyone’s time is precious, no matter who they are, and by being late you make it seem like their time doesn’t matter as much as yours. Once you emphasise this in your own head, the easier it is to prioritise being on time. It’s helped me. Obviously the closer you are to someone the more understanding they will be of a little lateness but surely we should be on time for people we love just as much as for our clients?

So I recently got a Daniel wellington to keep track of time a, there’s clearly no better time to invest in being on time and since they ship to Nigeria right now it’s a win win.
