Be on time

I was late for work two days out of five. I want to be there on time everyday.

I was on time meeting friends the other night, and it made me feel good. It’s a ridiculously small thing – but I need to remind myself how it felt to do the right thing, and work on making punctuality the rule for me rather than the exception. Back to work next week – so my goal is to be on time five days in a row. With work there is an extra issue – I’m really unhappy there at the moment. But I feel worse when I turn in late than I do when I am on time.

I found myself leaving the house at the time I should have been arriving at work. It made me feel bad. I’d had no breakfast either. I have to break this habit.

I’ve been better at work this last couple of weeks – only late once. socially I’m still a disaster as far as punctuality is concerned. not trying hard enough – but it isn’t easy changing the habits of a life time.

made it to work before nine thirty all last week but I got a little later each day . . . I should be trying to get there before nine really. Also, I’m not doing well at getting breakfast before work, I want to eat and be on time – both things will make me feel so much better.

still struggling with this. Though I’m very conscious of this at the moment, which is a good thing I guess. Looking at the way my boyfriend gets ready for an appointment etc, and thinking that at the time he is getting ready to leave the house I would still be faffing around doing something unimportant. I need to try to learn from him.
I’ve been off work for a while and now I am back. So far I have not been late (a whole three days! haha – but it’s actually an achievement for me!). We have flexible hours. The latest I can arrive is 9.30. I think ideally I’d like to be arriving at nine, but so far I’ve been arriving around 9.15.

Since I last posted an entry my time keeping has been worse than ever . . . however I was away the last couple of days and made a real effort to be on time (or even early) when meeting folks. It felt good. Need to keep making that effort until it becomes a habit.

why do I find it so hard?

feeling a bit down and failing at this goal the last few days.

Two days to go – and I want to be on time for them.

I’ve been pretty lax this week – but I’m not being to harsh on myself as I had a good breakfast each day, which is something I don’t normally manage. It’s made a massive difference to how I feel. Now I just need to fit that in with getting to work on time.
