‘How does it matter if one is 10 minutes late for a meeting?’ ‘Or,won’t be better if I go half an hour post dinner time and pretended to make a grand entrance?’.So many of us are asking and sayings of things making ‘being late’ more than required and acceptable norm rather than something to avoid.Let’s cross out the 2 terms required and acceptable at the outset.Thinking that ‘being late’ is ‘required’ assuming everybody else is going to be late,doesn’t make any sense.Also,thinking that it will be ‘acceptable’ is another wrong notion to get rid of.your disregard for time can only be tolerated that too in not all the cases ,not accepted. Above all,to be labelled ‘being late’ create a major Dent in your personality,a flaw and a bad in fluence.
Punctuality is not just limited to arriving at place at the right time ,it is also about taking action at the rightright time.
Below are listed some of the unfavourable perceptions of the delay maker might create.
- Lack of control
- Incompetence
- lack of integrity
- lack of value
Some simple things that might help
- Set all your watches and clocks to the same accurate time a few minutes early even.
- Don’t hit the snooze button. Wake up!
- Leave early and always have a backup plan.
- Prepare log for everyday, listing of everything you have to do and what time.
- Examine and calculate the time you spend in routine activities.
- Make a note of where your time is getting wasted.
- Go to sleep on time.

True that being punctual should be one of the main points to focus in one’s life.
Whether it is a job interview, or a date or even a small gathering we should just keep time as one of the most determining factors in one’s life .
