Why does it seem like we are running around like chickens without a head? We fill up our schedules with to-do lists, events, meetings, and everything else in between. With such a busy schedule and a limited amount of time throughout the day, it’s easy to be late. Why does it seem like there aren’t enough hours in the day? If you want to find out how not to be late again, you need to take these steps!
爲什麼我們整日就像無頭蒼蠅一樣手忙腳亂?待辦事項、活動、會議等佔滿了行程表。但要在緊湊的時間裏完成如此繁多的計劃，難免就會遲到。爲什麼一天的時間又感覺會不夠用呢?如果你想知道如何避免遲到，以下就是答案!
Set an Alarm
設置提醒
Whether it be your phone or a watch, set an alarm for when you need to leave and get to the location. Give yourself time to get ready and drive to where you need to be. Keep in mind to always arrive at the location at least 10 minutes early. You can even have an alarm on your calendar and be notified via phone and/or email. Be creative and do what works for you.
無論是手機還是手錶，你都可以用來設定出發和達到時間。給自己一點時間去準備，而後駕車出行。腦中切記要提早10分鐘到達目的點。同時你也可以在日曆上勾畫，手機和郵件都可進行提示。但凡有創意的方法都可找出來使用。
Prepare the Night Before
頭天晚上準備好
When it comes to being on time, what helps me is to figure out what I want to wear the night before and have it ready to go in the morning. Prepare the coffee machine the night before and have it set for when you want it to be ready in the morning. Prepare and organize the night before what you need in the morning. For everything that needs to happen in the morning, try to prepare as much as possible the night before. This helps and you will feel much more relaxed when you wake up.
一說到準時赴場，能夠幫助我的就是在頭晚決定好要穿什麼，第二天早上便整裝待發。也要在頭晚準備好咖啡機，設定好次日早上的啓動時間。還有你次日需要的所有東西都要有條不紊地備好。儘量給第二天做到未雨綢繆。這些步驟都能幫助你，讓你在一覺醒來時感到無比輕鬆。
Value Yourself and Your Time
重視自己，珍惜時間
“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you” -Carl Sandburg
When it comes to being on time, it’s all about valuing your time. When you value your time, you value how you spend it. If you are constantly running around and being late to events, it’s important for you to evaluate how much you value your time. Time is precious, and how you spend it all depends on you. When you are able to value your time, you will start to appreciate how you spend your time. We experience so many distractions every day that we can easily be pulled away from what we need to do. Other people or noise from the outside world can take away your precious time if you allow it to happen. Start valuing yourself and your time.
“時間是你的生命硬幣。它是你唯一擁有的硬幣，也只有你才能決定如何使用。要當心，以免別人將其花掉”-卡爾。桑德堡
提及守時，這全在你對時間的珍惜程度。如果你珍惜它，那你就在乎怎樣使用。而如果你一直手忙腳亂又總是遲到，那你就有必要再次評估一下它對你的意義了。光陰似金，怎樣使用完全取決於你。當你能夠珍視時間了，你就會開始讚賞你利用時間的方式。日常中有太多的事物輕而易舉就分散我們當下的注意力。如果你縱容荒廢，外界的閒人或嘈雜聲就會消耗掉你寶貴的時間。現在就開始重視自己，珍惜光陰吧。
Be Organized and Plan
有組織有計劃
First things first: you need to be organized with your schedule and plan! I highly suggest that you plan your week every Sunday evening. If you are determined to be on time, you must first know what is on your schedule and at what times. Give yourself time in between meetings to unwind and get refocused for the next meeting. It will be important for you to pace yourself throughout your day so that you don’t get overwhelmed and burnt out.
先做重要的事情：你合理安排好行程和計劃!我着重推薦你每週日晚計劃好一週的安排。如果你下決心要守時，首先你得知道行程表的活動及時間。在會議間隔期給自己一點稍做休息的時間，然後爲下場會議做足準備。讓自己跟上整日的節奏很重要，這樣你纔不會感到精疲力盡。
Arrive at Least 10 Minutes Early
提早10分鐘到場
When you organize and plan out your week every Sunday evening, it will be important for you to leave enough room in between meetings/events to arrive at the location at least 10 minutes early. That way you won’t feel stressed about being late. Personally, I would rather be waiting instead of being the one walking in late. When you come early, it shows that you care. Be prepared with what you need to bring and be 100% there.
一旦你在每週日晚做好了一週的計劃安排後，接下來很重要的一點就是在會議或活動間隙裏預留足夠的時間，這樣你才能提早10分鐘到達目的地。也不會有遲到的壓力。就個人而言，我是寧可等待也不想做姍姍來遲的人。早到，也說明你在乎。要做足一切準備並準時赴場。
Habits
“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken” -Warren Buffett
When it comes to being on time, it’s all about creating good habits. Get rid of bad habits and start focusing on habits that helps you. Implement these steps by creating habits that will eventually become second nature for you. Plan out your week every single Sunday. Always arrive 10 minutes early. Set an alarm for all of your meetings and events. Prepare everything the night before. Start valuing yourself and how you spend your time. It takes about 21 days to create a habit. Focus on the habits you want to start establishing, and make sure you are consistent every day when creating them.
“習慣的枷鎖輕得讓人無知無覺，直到有一天他們重得讓你無法打破”-沃倫。巴菲特
所謂守時，就是養成良好習慣的結果。壞習慣要摒棄，好習慣要堅守。要通過下面的步驟來完成這一過程，使其漸漸成爲你的第二天性。每個週日爲你的一週做出計劃。儘量提前10分鐘到場。給你所有的會議和活動設定時間提醒。頭晚做好次日的準備。開始重視自己以及自己花時間的方式。養成一個習慣需要21天。要集中精力於你想養成的習慣上，並且確信你會始終如一地堅持。
