How To Be On Time For Work Everyday

[@cocotulle23]

Being on time is SO hard for many people with ADHD. Time is so nebulous in my brain. It’s so hard to describe. I am trying so hard because I don’t want to be that person and it causes so much stress, but even if I wake up two hours earlier than normal and expect to get to work two hours earlier I’ll still get there ten minutes late. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Lisa Johnson, good point. You will have to build in some controls to help you get there on time. Set an alarm, Leave the house extra early. I know you can figure out some systems to help you be successful in this.

Right now my dad drives me to work but I imagine that, especially when I move out and to Florida, it’ll be a good idea for me to aim to get to work an hour early (if appropriate) and sit in my car. After time, that can be reduced or I’d recommend at least 15 minutes. I’m considering starting to get up in the 5:00 hour so that I’m always ready on time (ready to leave at 7:30) and that I’ll also be able to eat breakfast and sit on my phone more. This side of ADHD should be treated like it’s an addiction because, speaking for myself at least, it is. You may find that approach helpful 😁

It hard for those who dont have cars

[@marlaedington6471]

This is me exactly. I have been struggling with this for 20+ years. But I am tired of almost getting in trouble at work. I am lucky to have a lenient boss, but it puts him in a bad spot. I have been afraid to even change jobs because of my lateness. But I have been doing some research, and I am going to do exactly what he says, in the next comment about setting controls. I wrote out a schedule for my morning, and I tried to follow it. I was a little off, but I built in buffer time. So I am actually five minutes early for work! I am going to work for more than that. Then I will be ready for my new job! It is also so hard for me! But I am so tired and embarrassed of being late. I am very determined to change it. I also planned for extra things to do while. I am waiting in my car when I am early. Or I can reward myself with a coffee or breakfast sometimes. That seemed like a good incentive to me.

20 years ago, I showed up late every day by 2-3 minutes. I had a boss who raved about my work performance but because I was late every day, that reduced my integrity and took away all the hard work I did the following 12 hours. "Is it worth it?" he asked me. Wow. If you don't know, you don't know. But when your eyes are finally opened, you can do better and there's NO excuses then. This vid was another reminder to show up for life! To stop being a victim, and don't make a commitment if you can't keep it. Thanks again!

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

I liked how he opened your eyes, by asking a question. You don't know until you are told and honest conversations can improve the work experience. Thanks for sharing, Dana Johnson.

[@a22lovelife66]

Talking honestly of course ! Be on time = commitment + "Create more value than you consume." Good point ! Thanks for sharing.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

You are welcome, A22 Lovelife. That is what we are trying to do with the channel. Thanks for watching.

[@karenr5870]

Needing the money means you need an upgrade on your life… Create more value than you consume… I am speaking to you directly bc I think you can handle it… Wow! 3 golden statements!

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Our pleasure.

[@tinkutofficial3146]

definitely commitment is needed to be punctual....great message. a habit that must be worked on continuously and consciously. love it

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Tinku's Channel, agreed.

[@rachelzed2004]

Best video yet!!! Another great reality check for me. I would love it if you could do another video about cleaning. Maybe explain the differences in thought patterns between a messy person and someone clean. I could really use some explicit direction and honesty in this regard. Thank you.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thank you for the suggestion, Rachel Glurich. I will add it to the list and see what I can come up with for you. I am sure others have the same thoughts.

[@AreUTakingTheBubble]

This was the accountability I needed thank you.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

You are welcome, AreUTakingTheBubble. I think it's great that you are holding yourself accountable. Thanks for being at Live On Purpose TV.

[@nikhilphadke8494]

You are correct

[@kikudesign]

I am grateful today that I found your channel and I am ready to produce more value than I consumed. Thank you sincerely from my heart and soul...

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

kikudesign, honored to be along on your journey.

[@PiercingChild]

I had a roommate who didn't think it was a big deal to be a few minutes late every day. She was a cab driver and since I don't drive, I relied on her . After awhile i started calling another cab, even though it cost me more, which made her angry. But too bad, I hated being made to feel like there was something wrong with ME because I was always so anxious about my daughter being late for school every day, and me showing up to my college class either right on the dot on time, or 1-2 mins late.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Yep, being on time is important and shows you care about the place you need to be. Thanks for sharing your story, Melissa Tee. Honored to have you at Live On Purpose TV!

[@mitchelaybisaya2705]

Thank you for this video Dr. Paul! Yes, we're friends and I like that you are being honest to your viewers. Good that you are not sugar coating what you want us to hear. It's always good to know the truth. Thanks again! :)

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Hi Mitchelay Bisaya, thanks for commenting.

[@msfrost7442]

Love it!! I’m always early, hate to be rushed. Keep the honesty coming 😉

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

You got it, Laura Frost. Always try to keep it real to those doing the hard work of everyday parenting. Thanks for watching.

[@kaltaylor01]

Thank you for this - it can be applied to many things, not just employment.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Yes, Kimberly Taylor! We need to learn the principles of life and they can be applied to many different areas. You got it!

[@maryamsiddique2142]

This is the most useful video I have heard.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Wonderful. Glad we can connect.

[@louisvuitton8458]

Awesome video 🫶🏼 Thank you for sharing such knowledge. Will apply it God willing.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

You are welcome, Louis Vuitton.

[@aprilthompson2853]

I should make all our new employees watch this before they start the job. I love this! Oddly enough this came up on my feed the one day I am late for work because I didn't give myself time to scrape the ice off my car.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have them watch the video and get the expectation out there, April Phister. When you are on time the majority of days, people will understand the off day, we are all human. It is kind of amusing though.

[@SadhanaTyler]

This was a great video and I have been struggling with this for sometime getting to work on time just because of some reasons and I definitely even before watching this video had the sense of a few things you were saying definitely it is worth it to be on time because if you’re not then and just for those moments you do lack commitment and do lack the respect that you could receive from managers

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thanks, SeekersQuest, glad you are here at the channel.

[@richardottum1]

thanks again

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Always welcome, X's 4.

[@richardottum1]

you were always motivating sir thank you sir. Anthony sranchu was the other team math teacher

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Glad you are here.

[@jr42a1]

I believe the REAL reason why Susan was joy riding the next state over without a drivers license and couldnt make it to group when she lived 5 blocks away is because joy riding in the next state over without a drivers license doesnt require much commitment and you dont need to be on time.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Well, she found out there were some consequences.

[@DaVibes20]

Looked up this topic to get tips on how to improve a problem that am aware of already. Don’t like the scolding vibes of the video. Am not the kind of person that make excuses a lot so I don’t resonate with the example but do what to improve myself in this area.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

DaVibes20, try watching some of the other videos dealing with work. I don't think you will get a scolding vibe.

[@BossmanCCrowder1]

DaVibes20 Agreed.

[@richardottum1]

I partied in that pilot program

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thank you for watching.

[@benchabanehocine7809]

Your presentation is unique👍 I loved this video.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Hopefully in a good way, benchabane hocine. I have learned a lot over the last couple of decades.

[@benchabanehocine7809]

@@LiveOnPurposeTV yes it is!!

[@acstone3048]

My whole thing is I don’t want to get up at 5 am .. I work 2 jobs and I’m exhausted... I have to get up at 5 to get my 4 yr old at preschool by 8 that is a hour drive because it’s the only one that had a opening for her special needs...

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

That is a long way to drive, ANGELCHRISTINASTONE, you are putting in the work for your child. Be good to yourself on your days off.

[@acstone3048]

Oh I do sir.. It’s usually me my bed and the tv just to rejuvenate... Ofcourse I get up to care for my little ones needs but everyone knows most weekends I’m in the house and I don’t have my social media on. We have a special phone number my family uses if it’s super important or a emergency cuz I put my cell phone down on the weekends. However atleast once a month I try to have family time with the kids so they don’t feel I’m unengaged with them completely on my free time.. Great video btw 🙌🏼

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

I love the idea of a family activity. I bet the kid look forward to it.

Mr. Hicks went sky diving because we got him a pi through the pi network.

That is great.

Thank you.

[@tomoyochan92]

Sounds like mom didn't make a commitment to her child

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Sakura Chan, thank you for watching.

[@MissMonicaSilvia90]

So ...your "TIP" on how to always be on time is, Just come earlier and or just be on time???? Did you really need 10 minutes on how to always be on time, just to tell us the best way is to just be on time or just come earlier????? Lmao

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

MissMonicaSilvia, thank you for watching Live On Purpose TV. The tips are things to consider: your commitment, what else might happen that would cause a delay, and the value you are providing by being at the place you said you would be.

[@PiercingChild]

If you don't like his tips, or the way he explains it, choose not to watch :)

[@isllael1-e5s]

Give my 5 min back. Awful video. Not useful at all.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

We have lots of videos, try another one.

[@user-xz1tq1wf4k]
