DealDash Helps: Don’t Be Late!
Are you the sort of person who is always running late? Are you chronically tardy to work? Do you dread special events because you know that you just won’t be able to get there on time? DealDash can help.
It can be really difficult to be on time to meet your friends at a certain time, or arrive at someone’s house for dinner or a birthday party at the correct time. It’s said that being chronically tardy is a sign of an optimistic person. You think that there will be no traffic, no getting lost, and no little bumps of life along the way to make you late. Unfortunately, most people won’t think that you are optimistic if you’re late to meet them – they will think that you just weren’t trying hard enough to meet them, and it will make them feel unhappy.
Luckily, DealDash has a few suggestions to help you get your timeline back on track. Here are some ideas:
- Be prepared. Everything in life is better when you are prepared for it. If you have already gotten your wallet, keys, phone, and whatever else you need to bring with you ready to go you’re ready to grab them and get out! If you wait until you have to leave to gather everything up that can add precious minutes to your ETA that you don’t even realize. This is especially true if you have small kids that you need to remember to have a snack, sippy cup, diaper, and wipes to bring with you. Be on time – be prepared.
- Set alarms – for everything. Is there somewhere extremely important that you have to be tomorrow? Set 2 alarms to wake up, 5 minutes apart. Set a timer for the amount of time that you have allotted to shower, get dressed, and finish up in the bathroom. Set a timer for how long you have allotted yourself to eat breakfast. And finally, set an alarm for when you should start gathering up your things, and another alarm for 5 minutes later that signals when you have to leave immediately. This is a bit extreme, of course, I wouldn’t set all of these alarms and timers just to meet a friend for lunch, but if you have a job interview, a meeting at work, or even a wedding or funeral, multiple alarms is the way to go.
- Trick yourself. This is the oldest trick in the book, but set all of your clocks 10 minutes ahead. Do your best to forget that you have set them 10 minutes ahead, and try not to mentally “add 10 minutes” when you look to see what the time is on the clock. It may or may not work, but at least you made an effort!
