Punctuality

Punctuality: Respecting the time of others and yourself by being prompt

Arriving early or on time + meeting deadlines = punctuality

Punctual people are prompt, dependable, conscientious, and reliable. They arrive early or on time and are prepared to follow schedules and meet deadlines.

Developing punctuality reduces stress, builds credibility, and increases productivity. When we are punctual, people know that we value and respect their time, which increases trust in our relationships with coworkers, clients, friends, and family.

Punctuality requires:

• REALISTIC THINKING – Chronically late people often miscalculate how long they need to accomplish tasks.
• BUFFER TIME – Punctual people like to be early because being late is stressful.
• SYSTEMS – The development of routines allows us to navigate through our day without the stress of not getting tasks accomplished.
