简单小步骤，克服迟到坏习惯

Find Out How Not To Be Late Again With These Simple Steps

Why does it seem like we are running around like chickens without a head? We fill up our schedules with to-do lists, events, meetings, and everything else in between. With such a busy schedule and a limited amount of time throughout the day, it’s easy to be late. Why does it seem like there aren’t enough hours in the day? If you want to find out how not to be late again, you need to take these steps!

为什么我们整日就像无头苍蝇一样手忙脚乱？待办事项、活动、会议等占满了行程表。但要在紧凑的时间里完成如此繁多的计划，难免就会迟到。为什么一天的时间又感觉会不够用呢？如果你想知道如何避免迟到，以下就是答案！

Be Organized and Plan

有组织有计划

First things first: you need to be organized with your schedule and plan! I highly suggest that you plan your week every Sunday evening. If you are determined to be on time, you must first know what is on your schedule and at what times. Give yourself time in between meetings to unwind and get refocused for the next meeting. It will be important for you to pace yourself throughout your day so that you don’t get overwhelmed and burnt out.

先做重要的事情：你合理安排好行程和计划！我着重推荐你每周日晚计划好一周的安排。如果你下决心要守时，首先你得知道行程表的活动及时间。在会议间隔期给自己一点稍做休息的时间，然后为下场会议做足准备。让自己跟上整日的节奏很重要，这样你才不会感到精疲力尽。

Arrive at Least 10 Minutes Early

提早10分钟到场

When you organize and plan out your week every Sunday evening, it will be important for you to leave enough room in between meetings/events to arrive at the location at least 10 minutes early. That way you won’t feel stressed about being late. Personally, I would rather be waiting instead of being the one walking in late. When you come early, it shows that you care. Be prepared with what you need to bring and be 100% there.

一旦你在每周日晚做好了一周的计划安排后，接下来很重要的一点就是在会议或活动间隙里预留足够的时间，这样你才能提早10分钟到达目的地。也不会有迟到的压力。就个人而言，我是宁可等待也不想做姗姗来迟的人。早到，也说明你在乎。要做足一切准备并准时赴场。

Set an Alarm

设置提醒

Whether it be your phone or a watch, set an alarm for when you need to leave and get to the location. Give yourself time to get ready and drive to where you need to be. Keep in mind to always arrive at the location at least 10 minutes early. You can even have an alarm on your calendar and be notified via phone and/or email. Be creative and do what works for you.

无论是手机还是手表，你都可以用来设定出发和达到时间。给自己一点时间去准备，而后驾车出行。脑中切记要提早10分钟到达目的点。同时你也可以在日历上勾画，手机和邮件都可进行提示。但凡有创意的方法都可找出来使用。

Prepare the Night Before

头天晚上准备好

When it comes to being on time, what helps me is to figure out what I want to wear the night before and have it ready to go in the morning. Prepare the coffee machine the night before and have it set for when you want it to be ready in the morning. Prepare and organize the night before what you need in the morning. For everything that needs to happen in the morning, try to prepare as much as possible the night before. This helps and you will feel much more relaxed when you wake up.

一说到准时赴场，能够帮助我的就是在头晚决定好要穿什么，第二天早上便整装待发。也要在头晚准备好咖啡机，设定好次日早上的启动时间。还有你次日需要的所有东西都要有条不紊地备好。尽量给第二天做到未雨绸缪。这些步骤都能帮助你，让你在一觉醒来时感到无比轻松。

Value Yourself and Your Time

重视自己，珍惜时间

“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you” -Carl Sandburg

When it comes to being on time, it’s all about valuing your time. When you value your time, you value how you spend it. If you are constantly running around and being late to events, it’s important for you to evaluate how much you value your time. Time is precious, and how you spend it all depends on you. When you are able to value your time, you will start to appreciate how you spend your time. We experience so many distractions every day that we can easily be pulled away from what we need to do. Other people or noise from the outside world can take away your precious time if you allow it to happen. Start valuing yourself and your time.

“时间是你的生命硬币。它是你唯一拥有的硬币，也只有你才能决定如何使用。要当心，以免别人将其花掉”-卡尔.桑德堡

提及守时，这全在你对时间的珍惜程度。如果你珍惜它，那你就在乎怎样使用。而如果你一直手忙脚乱又总是迟到，那你就有必要再次评估一下它对你的意义了。光阴似金，怎样使用完全取决于你。当你能够珍视时间了，你就会开始赞赏你利用时间的方式。日常中有太多的事物轻而易举就分散我们当下的注意力。如果你纵容荒废，外界的闲人或嘈杂声就会消耗掉你宝贵的时间。现在就开始重视自己，珍惜光阴吧。

Habits

“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken” -Warren Buffett

When it comes to being on time, it’s all about creating good habits. Get rid of bad habits and start focusing on habits that helps you. Implement these steps by creating habits that will eventually become second nature for you. Plan out your week every single Sunday. Always arrive 10 minutes early. Set an alarm for all of your meetings and events. Prepare everything the night before. Start valuing yourself and how you spend your time. It takes about 21 days to create a habit. Focus on the habits you want to start establishing, and make sure you are consistent every day when creating them.

“习惯的枷锁轻得让人无知无觉，直到有一天他们重得让你无法打破”-沃伦.巴菲特

所谓守时，就是养成良好习惯的结果。坏习惯要摒弃，好习惯要坚守。要通过下面的步骤来完成这一过程，使其渐渐成为你的第二天性。每个周日为你的一周做出计划。尽量提前10分钟到场。给你所有的会议和活动设定时间提醒。头晚做好次日的准备。开始重视自己以及自己花时间的方式。养成一个习惯需要21天。要集中精力于你想养成的习惯上，并且确信你会始终如一地坚持。
