According to etiquette, a 15 minute delay should go unnoticed. But how can you explain this to your boss or an important client who is waiting for you at the negotiations? Yes, time is a very strange subject. Like Winnie the Pooh's honey: here it is, but it is not! In order not to be late for anywhere and to be in the right place at the right time, use simple and effective methods.
Necessary
- - phone with the "Reminders" function;
- - clock - alarm clock;
- - diary;
- - pen;
- - stickers with a glue edge;
- - a board for notes.
Instructions
Step 1
Move all hours forward 5-15 minutes. Thus, the time indicated on them will always be greater than the real one. Focus on the one that your watch shows, go to work and meetings on it.
Step 2
Get rid of the habit of setting your alarm a few minutes earlier than you need to get up. Usually, this method is used to wake up and immediately fall asleep again, "it's still early." Let your email friend wake you up minute by minute. Then you will not be tempted to lie in bed for another five minutes.
Step 3
Make reminders for important appointments on your phone or smartphone. It is best if the music is loud, different from the sound of the alarm. In this case, reminders will be associated specifically with meetings, and not just with work (before which you really want to “get five more minutes” to sleep).
Step 4
Plan your day with a daily planner. Of course, this method will be more effective if used in conjunction with the translated hours, and also if you have a habit of looking into a notebook. Clearly write down, in hours and minutes, how the day should go, or indicate only events that are important to you. The recording style only depends on your preference.
Step 5
Get a reminder board as well as sticky-edged stickers. Often delays are due to the lack of ability to organize yourself: when you do not remember where things are. Post stickers around the apartment with reminders, for example: "Gloves are here", "Lipstick in a purse", etc. Of course, it is better to do this in the evening, going around the apartment before going to bed on the morning route.
Step 6
Get ready in the evening. This is a very simple way to make your morning easy, fast and comfortable. Pick up the clothes you wear; collect your bag, documents; put out your shoes. Decide what you will eat for breakfast and write it down on the chalkboard (or place a sticker on the refrigerator). Follow the detailed action plan carefully. Everyone will be pleasantly surprised by your organization!
