Re: Getting out the door on time

[Misswho23]

One thing I heard from a woman who grandmother always said “If you can’t be on time them be early. “

On the days I try that I actually may show up early and even on time. For some reason I too have that thing of it something is 10 minuets away then it should just take 10 min to get there. And for me in my mind that includes getting ready. I have tried and tried to work around this. Getting up early, having everything ready, some days not being able to find what I put out since I’m not used to it and don’t remember where I put what I need… multiple alarms and on and on.

But when I heard the saying “then be early” for some reason that clicked with me. Be cause I know there is a one in a million shot that I will actually be on time. My mind just does not work that way. But early? Well that could be anywhere from 20 min to 10 min or even just a couple of minuets early and that gives me a lot of leeway. One thing I work well with. I do not like absolutes.

I don’t always succeed but since I heard that I have chopped off at least 10 to 15 min of my usually late time. Did that make sense?

So down from the 30 min. I was always running behind to 10 – 15 min. on a late day.
