Over the last several weeks I have become increasingly aware that I have a hard time getting to things on time. It has taken a while but I think I have a severe aversion to being early (yes, I am aware this is stupid), which means that I try to arrive just in the nick of time and I am often just a few minutes late. I was talking to my dad the other morning telling him about this revaluation and how I thought I was doing better about it... he helped me realize that I am deluding myself on this front. He reminded me that I often talk to him about how I am late or am behind schedule. At first I was insulted and then I realized he was right.
So how am I going to work on this. I have come up with a plan of attack, clearly I am a scientist.
-I am going to make a conscious effort to arrive 10-15 minutes earlier than I need to for work
-Keep a log of when I arrive early, on time, and late
-Keep to the schedule, I have been allowing myself to deviate from the plan and then I wonder what happens to my day
-Go to bed earlier: lately I have found that I have a hard time getting into the bed and then I am too tired to get up in the morning and move super slowly.
-This one is going to be a tad harder: no snooze button. I think the fact that I know that I don't have to get up therefore I sleep longer but it doesn't really do me much good so that is silly.
I am excited to see how this goes through time. I have high hopes for actually turning into a functional adult. I am looking forward to sharing how this goes for me. I hope to be able to share that in a few weeks I have gotten much better about being on time to things and managing my time better. I also hope that this allows be to be better about posting on my blog since I won't feel like I am unable to get things done.
If you are on time, how do you do it?
