    6 Tips to Avoid Being Late

    August 3, 2007 by L. Lewis

    Late for workThere is little that is more condescending and arrogant than a person that is constantly late. Not only is being late rude, it is disrespectfully of other people. Try these tips to break yourself of the late habit.

    1. Never assume that being late is all right. Never allow yourself the luxury of saying to yourself, “It’s only a few minutes,” “It’s only half an hour.” You are not more important than the person you are meeting nor is your time more valuable. Never be so arrogant as to expect other people to adapt their lives and schedules to your timetable.

    2. Use an agenda. With everyone having at minimum a cell phone and at best an electronic agenda there is no excuse for completely forgetting or being late for an appointment. Enter the appointment time PLUS travel time and time to finish with whomever you are previously meeting. Not giving yourself enough time between meeting is a surefire way to repetitively be late.

    3. Assume that what will go wrong usually does. Allow yourself “crisis time” so that if you do run into traffic or your previous meeting runs over, you will have the extra time to make the next meeting as scheduled.

    4. Don’t overbook yourself. Setting back to back meeting gives you the impossible task of being on time. Leave time between meetings. Not only will this allow for travel time but it will also give you time to reflect and process the information from the previous meeting and to prepare for the next.

    5. Prioritize!!! Don’t say yes to someone when you that you don’t have the time to accomplish what they are asking of you. Force yourself to learn how to say “No, I’m sorry but I don’t have time to do that today but I have time available tomorrow.” Be firm and don’t let them convince you that they only need a few minutes of your time as it is rarely the case.

    "Slow down! People are often late because the forget. They forget because they are functioning at such a hectic pace that their mind is always working under stress. You are only ONE person with a set number of hours in the day. Don’t set yourself a schedule that is physically impossible for you to accomplish."

    Or set an alarm, or use an agenda :D

  3. It's crazy...here you are, trying your hardest to get pregnant..and then on Yahoo answers, you see 13 year olds posting dumb questions about how they became pregnant and how they're so scared! *gasp*

    It's almost a joke, really. My husband and I tried to conceive for a while year. Last year around Thanksgiving time, it finally happened. I think it wasn't happening for a whole year because I was stressing so much over it. I kept thinking about the baby. I kept counting days, researching my ovulation charts, reading about all kinds of crazy methods to conceive a child. I had baby on the brain. Finally in November last year, I gave up. I had a move to think about. I had to pack things, clothes, furniture...had to get an apartment, start paying new bills with my husband, make a road trip to our new state..things were hectic and I forgot about baby-making, and somewhere around that time, it happened. I think when you are anticipating a child, your body isn't going to respond only because of how the stress hormones are high even though you don't know it. And this can even put your cycle off. It sucks, really. I have some really helpful sites for you though..you should check them out:

    Good luck..I know it's so freakin frustrating...but it will happen. Like I said, we tried for a year..now I'm 37 weeks and almost ready to say Hello to my own little one. I do wish you the best.

  4. be a little more specific if you could... this question is a little too vague to be answered

    lets see, if you need to be on time for a meeting, leave 15 minutes earlier than you normally would in case traffic is backed up...  avoid being late by not procrastinating...

    *rolls eyes*

  5. Are you talking about your period? work?

  6. This is the Pregnancy section... so I can only ASSUME that "being late" = "pregnant" (AF is late because you've gotten pregnant).

    But this is specifically the Trying to Conceive section of pregnancy, which is the opposite of "avoid being late".

    So you either screwed up and asked the wrong question (or at least in the wrong section), and the best answer I can provide within the context of this section is...

    Avoid s*x, or go on birth control!
