Stop Being Late - Take These 3 Easy Steps

Taking a wild guess . . . you were late for work AGAIN today? 

If you're CHRONICALLY late, here are three ways to break the habit and get there on time.

 1.  Stop thinking of the best-case scenario.  If your commute can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes, you should ALWAYS give yourself at least 30 minutes to get there.  That way you're chronically early, not late.

 2.  Stop worrying about getting there "too early."  Some people show up 15 minutes early, and think of it as 15 minutes of sleep they lost out on.  Instead, think of it as 15 extra minutes to get organized, so the rest of your day goes more smoothly.

3.  Stop doing "one more thing" before you leave the house.  Some things you HAVE to do, like getting your kids off to school.  But you DON'T have to load the dishwasher before you leave.  So don't try to pack too much into your morning.
