For me, the key has been striving to be 10 to 15 minutes EARLY, then the “little distractions” while getting ready in the morning aren’t so
dooming. I am definitely a MORNING person. I don’t get much productive stuff done after 4 or 5pm. I worked the 4am-noon shift at my current employer for 2 years, before moving to my current job. It was easier to be at work at 4am than it is at 7am. Traffic becomes more of a factor at the later hour, and I’ve got a 35 mile commute. Lots can of stuff can affect speed of travel.
“If being on time was worth $1,000,000 – you’d make it happen. Somehow.” That is what I’d say to the keyholder when I’d arrived on time (at 4:30 am) and they were 15 minutes late… another previous job.
