get to work on time, or early, every day

in fact, I am back to coming in really early to get some things done. I don’t know why I even slipped into the habit of coming late. Once you are in it is actually difficult to get out again. So I am happy this is going well.

or maybe a month more, that I will stay in this job, so I will really give it a new effort to arrive on time so I can take this good habit with me to the next job (whatever it will be).

obviously lies in not being exhausted in the morning when I wake up and thus keep on fighting for every minute I can stay in bed. At least for me. The problem is that my level of exhaustion seems to be depend on the general mood I am, not on how much I sleep (although I sleep a lot better when I am feeling well). In the past few days it has been so easy to be for work, it seems impossible ever to be late.

that people who are constantly late have a wrong concept of the time it takes to go somewhere. I think this is right. I try to leave the house “on time” and am always late. The time calculated would work in theory, if the subway would be one time, if changing trains would take the minimum amount of time, if I would stop to buy something. So, I decide now that I will leave the house no later than 8.20, which leaves 40 minutes to get to work, which is about twice as much than I would need in a perfect world.

... to about 10 minutes. Still, I should be able to leave the house these 10 minutes earlier without too much of an effort.

can’t I get up in the morning? grr… I used to be two hours early for work all the time at my old job. Now I am always half hour late. Not that it would matter, since I don’t have to sign in, my boss works in another city… maybe that it is problem. But I should at least try to be on time…

I really don’t know why this is so difficult for me, but it doesn’t work so far. I really need to make more of an effort on this goal. I whish I could sleep properly, then I would be able to wake up in the morning and actually arrive on time. grr…

...today I was a tad early…! Yea!

Tomorrow and Wednesday I am traveling for business… so that is a breeze.

Thursday it’s back to the office.

Friday I have an UI hearing before work… so that rocks, too.

Gonna be a good week for being on time!

Hate rushing so always give myself plenty of time for this, by getting up early; leisurely preparation;) etc.

Well, as far as getting to work on time, anyway. Forget early.

Sheesh.

Monday was: I had lost my purse (actually, I had left it somewhere). But time was wasted / lost in looking for it Monday morning.

Tuesday was: The youngest child missed the school bus… So, being a wonderful and selfless parent, I drove her to school.

Wednesday was: Not sure this one counts, I had to go to an unemployment hearing in another city… so I went there before going to work. I was on time for the hearing, if that matters.

Thursday was: Read the first entry in my “fears” 43T goal. That is why I was late Thursday.

Friday was: The oldest child picked up her curling iron by the barrel instead of the handle (OUCH!) and required love and (minor) first aid. Oh, and I seem to have misplaced my keys.

So… this week was a vast wasteland of lateness. Sigh.
