 Habitually Late

One of my biggest enemy is time, and my biggest obstacle in life is to be on time. I've always been a procrastinator and somehow led to my habitual lateness. I really feel bad when I am late, but then I really don't. I want to be on time, but it never turns out that way. UGHH!! any advice? I am willing to try out any method. Anyone with the same problem to join the club? We could create a 12-step program, you know?

Seriously, I want to defeat this.

being late is a habit not a problem

which can be easily resolved

procrastination is the worst enemy

1) set up realistic goals

2) set up a time table and break the goals up

each time u achieve a goal reward urself or have a partner reward u

(hey no naughty jokes here!)

lol

commitment kills procrastination

if u can commit to something then u have something to achieve and strive for

so what do u wish to accomplish?

I'm always late too, cause I get distracted by things, or I just take my sweet ass time. Unless something is MAJOR important, I usually am pretty relaxed.

Haha!  For some reason I am ALWAYS 2 minutes early or 2 minutes late.  Doesn't matter what time of day I have to get there.

you too?  i'm always late, but always am there withing 10-15 minutes at latest.  mostly it's due to me packing too much into my day and thinking that i can finish it all before i have to be there. 

i also read that people who are always late are more likely to be attention whores, people who like to make grand entrances.    hmmm... maybe i am a whore.

@tsotofu - 

my clock is about 25 -30 mins ahead already!!

@SunShineDonut - 

yeah, i've thought about marking down when i am on time and when i'm not, hoping to keep track of my tardiness. thanks for the advice, i would definitely reward myself hehe.

@CoNfuzDp - 

Thanks! please get me a really really really loud one.

@esterofilo - 

I think I'm a bit like you, I do take it easy most of the time.

@franksabunch -

I'm exactly that way...nothing can wake me up...and I am really really really really really MEAN in the morning!!!  You don't even want to know...but I REALLY agree with the first comment to set your clock back 10 minutes...

So far that's really really worked for me...when nothing else would for 15 years!

good luck...and wish me luck too >_<

Well maybe you need some perspective on it.

When you are late for meetings and interviews in the business world, it is frowned upon.

Why? not only because it's rude and a reflection of your 'work ethic', but it makes it seem to them that you think that your time is more valuable than theirs, since you infringe upon their time by 'wasting' their time waiting for you to arrive.

So next time see it as this...your late cause you subconsciously feel your time is more important than others...so you waste everyone else's time. It's quite a dick thing to do....

even if you don't mean to.

Ok. This is going to sound harsh, but it's the truth. 

You are simply late all the time cause you don't care. If you actually cared about how much time you were wasting on the part of your friends/family/coworkers etc. then you wouldn't do what you are doing now. 

In order to kick the habit, you need someone you love dearly to tell you to go and shove it.  Why?  Cause they are tired...tired of waiting for your tardy ass every single time! 

The next step for your loved one to do is to just leave the next time you are late.  No excuses.  You're late?  Solution:  you have no one to hang out with.

Trust me.  As someone who's employed this tactic i can safely say that it works.
