How I went from always being late to always being early

[@MsVsayz]

Being late effects my life so negatively. My mom was always so late and i definitely picked that habit up

[@Nat0528]

Oh good this sounds like me and my daughter ugh!! I’m always late, and she is beginning to be super late too! -( I what to change this so bad.

[@ToanTheNomad]

[@keithgoodman7799]

Good points. 1. Being late communicates to the other person that their time isn’t as important as yours and 2. What you’re doing that makes you late isn’t more important than the sense of peace you’ll gain by arriving early

[@Indi_DevJames]

Bro my routine is literally more important than peace. 🤷‍♂️

When I am actually on time (once in a blue moon), I feel like I can tackle the world. Your comments about being truly present Krista really hit home. Thak you.

[@TastemyAtrocity]

I know what you mean by feeling invincible after one occasion of showing up on time. In my experience though, that feeling is the direct result of for once walking into a room without judging eyes on you, silently scolding “you’re late!”

[@ToanTheNomad]

Funny thing is you would think that it would encourage you to show up early again, but it doesn’t happen

[@144SLRP]

being late has been a problem for me all of my life. it has cost me my job. it has caused my friends nd family members to have to wait on me. and even though i work hard and i do my job well, my tardiness makes me less of a good trusted worker to employers.

1-The reason WHY I'm here it's because am out of my job and the reason guess what is lateness (constantly late) don't mean disrespect or something else BUT I guess after watching this vid I consider my time more valuable then other again I've never thought of it this way but It seems like it. 2- what you just said was really nice BEING EARLY TRULY makes JUST look better and more in control and of course you will provide yourself with time to gather some thoughts. Great vid thanks I will definitely fix this prob in me 😊

[@rickryan6271]

Had to update, took long enough to remember I commented this. So, the very big meeting turned out to not be a very big meeting at all, 14 people are expected to show up, including me but only 6 show up that day, I found out a day later. I still got my job, even got promoted just recently, life has been great, found myself an independent partner who makes me happy all the time, and life has been great after that disaster of a day.

[@reyes01us]

I’ve been late most of my life, this video really opened up my eyes. To be truthfully honest, I never thought about the actual message I’m sending to the people I’m meeting up with when I’m running late.

I’ve always struggled with this too. Very similar situation, except I still struggle. I don’t have much faith in myself that I can do it, but this video gives me hope, so thank you! I go to bed too late, wake up too late, struggle with time management, don’t like being early, etc. but I do realize it’s frustrating to people and sends the wrong message. It has caused so much stress and grief in my life so I really want to improve massively

I am a chronic late person even when I wake up early and have plenty of time to get to where I need to I find some way to be late when I got fired for being late consistently that’s when I knew it was a very serious problem

[@TastemyAtrocity]

Honestly, I am 34 years old and told I am a great worker. I’ve been fired several times in my life (or at least denied a promotion) due to the issue. At other jobs, I was recognized for my service but constantly told in a joking way “you’d be a great employee if you could be on time”. I give up. I started a consulting business where I manage my projects by my own watch. The pandemic catapulted my success because it allows me to meet via Zoom. No one will ever have to know I can’t show up to an actual boardroom on time 🤫

[@monikap8777]

@@TastemyAtrocity aren't you late on zoom meetings?

[@TastemyAtrocity]

@Monika P Not so much. It eliminates the issue of having to backtrack several times when getting ready. For example, if I left the house on time I’d have to run back in and make sure I had my chapstick, phone charger, did I remember to turn off the coffee pot, etc. Also, somehow having the meeting within my home makes it psychologically less intimidating. I’m less likely to continue scrolling on my phone when I should be getting ready because I kind of tell myself “I’ll just have this quick zoom meeting and then go back to scrolling”(and the of course I don’t feel the need to go back to procrastinating, once I’m up). It’s like a weird psychological trick. Plus, at zoom meetings I don’t need to put on pants or shoes. That saves some time right there :)

I watched this video a long time ago... I finally figured out how you did it. Recently I alter some habits that I had been trying to change for 10 -20 years. I'm in my 20s btw. In those 10 -20 years I got literally nowhere in changing them... Until I discovered something and literally overnight I altered those behaviors for good. Literally. But I still couldn't figure out the THIS one until now. Until I remembered your video and started to think about what you said through my new awareness. I figured out how you did it. You didn't mention it in the video and I doubt you realize what actually happened. However, what you did do it tell your conscious understanding of it and that is all I needed to make the connection. I want to thank you so much. If you only knew what you have contributed to. THANK YOU!

I'm 51 now and have struggled with it all my life, in every situation. When I was a couple of yrs old, I had the measles and took about 10 months to get over it, lying in bed hardly moving for days at a time. Probably missing some developing in the frontal lobe it would seem. I don't know if that has anything to do with my not being able to manage time. I seem to take 2 - 10 times longer to do most things than others for most things. I also have always tended to get into my own little world, like almost in a trans, and have alot of difficultly making decisions and completing tasks. If you're clued in, you may rightfully assume that my house is a disaster area. Esp. having many interests, not being able to stick to just one thing. Quite annoying since I'm also a perfectionist,,, agrhhhhhh, lol.

So I was on my way to work, I was actually early to get the train, the train then got delayed, I said no problem I’ll take a cab when I get to the station, but when we got to my station, for some weird reason the doors didn’t open , meaning I had to sit on till the next stop for another 45 minutes, 45 minutes back to my station and wait 30 minutes at that new station for a train back, making me three hours late to work on my second day, which I was late to on my first day. We are creatures of programmed habit , unconsciously our subconscious mind picks up habits that we see repeatedly or do via conscious effort first, and a force like gravity called hypnotic rhythm that holds habits in place and the position of the stars and the planets etc holds our habits in together but what most people don’t know is reality reflects your thoughts/consciousness through circumstances and events too, since my habit is being late by programming even when I’m not late I’ll be late by default. Only way to stop it is creating a new Conscious habit for over one month, being early for over one month again and again, consciously. The pendulum has you tied up in its web. Good thing is the same power works for good habits too and reality reflects good thoughts in the form of circumstance and events too

Great Video!! You don't know how much I wish I could go back to the many times I was four or Five Minutes Late for Work or an Appointment, or even a Date with my Mom! You inspired a Great Idea. It's always a little hard for me to leave early because I don't want to sit in front of the Time Clock for 15 Minutes Early! But, It's Better then being Late. I think IMO if your driving and there is no traffic but instead a Really Slow Driver in front of you and you can't pass him or her and get around, even if it's still our fault, I act like a New Yorker, (And I'm not even a New Yorker) and blame the driver in front of me along with the other drivers doing the same thing when I'm frustrated.

The problem I have with being early is that I would panic and trigger abandonment issues if I was the only one there. I always feel like an outsider so I would understand why no one else would show up. I also would feel anxious about getting a table or not or if I was expected to do something to "set up" for the group by myself. This scares me so much, especially considering the travel to new places is anxiety inducing by itself since I don't know the environment. I'd rather show up late so that they're already there and I can calm my nerves a bit.
