How to be on time

  • Aim to get to places 10 to 15 minutes early, rather than on time. Plan to do something concrete while you are waiting, such as deleting junk emails or reading a book.
  • Plan and practice exist strategies from conversations or last-minute tasks.
  • Use your cell phone alarm to remind you when to leave the house, or when to get up from the desk to be on time for a meeting.
  • Time yourself to see how long you really take to get ready.
  • Multi-task less.
  • Check the clock regularly - it is your friend.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
