How to Stop Being Late All the Time: Life Hacks That Work

25.10.2024 22:05

Life is full of unexpected circumstances, and sometimes even the most organized people have to apologize for being late.

However, if you implement a couple of life hacks into your life, you can become more punctual and learn to avoid unpleasant situations.

Get more hours

People who are always late have a misperception of time, so it's worth checking it more often.

Place a clock on the wall in each room and wear it on your wrist. Try to get devices that beep at certain times.

For example, to get to work by 9 a.m., you should leave home shortly after 7 a.m. If the clock strikes 8 a.m., that will be a clear signal that it's time to get ready.

Set your clocks forward a few minutes

This advice is not suitable for those for whom being late has become a chronic "disease", since they will know that the clock is slow, and the result will not change in the end.

This trick is worth implementing into the lives of responsible people for whom even a 5-minute delay is unbearable.

Leave time for force majeure

Life is full of surprises. Traffic lights suddenly turn red, stockings and shoelaces break at the last moment, keys get lost, and subway trains sometimes stop in tunnels.

So always leave some time for the unexpected when packing and traveling.
