be more punctual

It is still only the beginning of my new job, but I feel good that I have been successful with this goal so far. I think I will only mark this as done when I have completed one full month of being on time. I hope I can keep it up!

I knew the real test and opportunity to improve this would come when I started working again. So far so good!

My boss, doesn’t always agree with me. But like I always say: it’s the baby steps that will get you there.

Now to get to work I have to take a bus to the metro, so I have to leave the house to get to the bus in time. It seems to be working, mostly.

The reason I want to wake up when my alarm clock goes off is so that I can get to work on time. So why don’t I just keep a goal that is more true to me, that I can actually write entries about than one that just frustrates me when I see it.

I woke up later than the time when i supposed to be at school today, this is the third time i’ve done this in this week. Currently im researching about tardy people, who has same kind of problem with me, and i was surprised how many people are annoyed of unpunctual persons like me. (i googled keyword “tardiness” and most of the article i came across was about how to cure tardiness…)
Maybe i was just lucky enough to have tolerant friends(or just similar kind of me) so i didn’t really realized this fact.

And more than this, i know how much time i waste by sleeping too much or being lazy. that doesn’t improve my life at all. i know.
I’ve been wanting to be morning person for long time, they seem to be a winner of the life…

I haven’t been as active around here as I would like, due to employment and my studies.

The good news is that such a busy routine has kept me on my toes, and given me plenty of reason to work on punctuality. Aside from the first day of class (where I was late because I couldn’t find parking—my fault for not getting there earlier, I know), I’ve been either on time or early to my commitments.

I’m certainly not ready to check this off yet. It still seems like I cut it too close for my comfort. But I’m definitely getting there, and that’s a welcome development.

I just moved to a new place, so I’m getting used to the different route to get to work and leaving much earlier so that I’m not late. It’s actually closer than I was before, but it’s a bus to the metro first which leaves at specific times that I have to get used to. There is a train, but I can only take it when I start work at 8am, which isn’t very often and kinda sucks, since I do really like taking the train.

So far I’ve been really good, that will probably go downhill as I get used to staying here after a while.

i am usually about 10 minutes late for work every day.
i need to stop sleeping in, and get to work. its killing my paychecks.
i know im not going to get in trouble for it, as my employer is very laid back, but jesus christ..im losing like..40 bucks a week!

I’ve stopped taking the train lately so that I can spend the extra 9 minutes in bed, wake up 3 minutes before I need to be out the door and run to the metro. I don’t know how else to put it but: IT’S NOT WORKING FOR YOU! I tend to get lazy like this after a string of working the same shift for a while.

As soon as I get it in my head that snoozing doesn’t help my case and that I’m fine after my coffee, I think I’ll have some progress on this goal. I think I’ll need to apply the principles of SHED to this as well.

Separate the Treasures
Heave the Trash
Embrace your Identity
Drive Yourself Forward

In my case, I’m still fighting that fear of downtime.

over the past couple weeks i attended a class that met 4 times. i was never late to the class. in fact, i was usually 15 minutes early. i think this was because:
1) i really wanted to be there.
2) i wanted to respect the teachers
3) i didn’t try to cram a lot of activities before the class, so i wasn’t rushing from one thing to another. i think this point is very important.
4) i planned and really wanted to be there 15 minutes early.

i will check this goal off for now. yeah!!!
