be 5 minutes early to everything

i need to get on top of this

Not doing too good on this one yet. I’m still trying. I need to find a time and set all my clocks to it. Right now all of my clocks say something different, so I’m guessing that is not helpful. I think something else that would help is going to sleep earlier, but that is SO hard. I’m naturally a late-night person… If i had it my way I’d go to bed every night at 2am and wake up at 10am.. but… unfortunately that is impossible.

I think I just have to force myself to wake up 30 minutes earlier instead of waiting until the last second to get out of bed. Too much goes wrong when I don’t leave a generous buffer of time in the mornings.

Im going to say- be 5 min early to everything this month! (Septemeber) That seems a little more definite and possible. Since school’s starting up, I have that to worry about.. plus church and anything else I get into this month.

horray for not being late!
(hopefully)

need to improve…late 3 times already this week.

1 incident of lateness this week (by 3 minutes). 1 more due to my GF, which I won’t count. Not too bad.

Actually i have gotten a lot better at being on time by practicing being 5 minutes early.

I hate the rushy rush feeling of ‘i’m gonna be late’ especially if you have no control over your situation ie: on transit.

I love the being a little early feeling.
I hope to keep this up when i get to seattle and start school.
7 am is early.
But i can totally do it.

:)

OK, let’s try this again.

gotta get this together…
I’m getting up earlier these days to try and get myself to bet earlier… get tired, you know.

but, somehow, i’m just not getting places on time.
I’m almost always 3 minutes late at work and i missed the movie i planned to get to last night by 20minutes.

Lame and frustrating.
My watch is set 15 minutes ahead, but i just compensate.
i think i’ve got to get it back to the actual time. (or work time because that’s relevant).

Okay.
So i’m setting a goal about this, and there will be a reward.

booo….

I’m no longer late, but i cut it close a lot. I wonder if i had a routine of somekind if being early might be easier.

like a coffee from the rustic cosmo cafe in the mo-nin… is that too expensive? like a small. then i would need to be early n park my bike n walk/relax a bit.

hmm… gonna try that, and if i’m walking i need enough time to stop at cherry bomb coffee on this side of the walk… leave at nine,say.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that school will be starting WAY earlier when i’m in the west next year and it pays to prepare.
I don’t want to be late for a guy who was a marine.. they’re scary a bit.

its hard to uncongratulate yourself for being on time when you’re supposed to be EARLY! Especially when you’re me and for your entire life you have been more or less unfashionably tardy.

So i’m proud of me for being ‘On time’ that’s wicked good. BUT,
I need to focus on being early…

It seriously makes me happier because i worry and rush far less.. i can actually enjoy the walk to work if i give myself enough time not to have to run/walk.

Also… this picture is of me wearing fleshycoloured tights that i think is great because of the funny peach velour caftan top i had on.. Who else looks this good walkin?!
