5 Minutes Early Is On Time; On Time Is Late; Late Is Unacceptable

I agree with this, but used to be very bad at it: [WayBack] 5 Minutes Early Is On Time; On Time Is Late; Late Is Unacceptable
Being late is unacceptable. While that sounds harsh, it’s the truth and something that should be said more often. I don’t care whether you’re attending a dinner party, a conference call, or a coffee meeting — your punctuality says a lot about you.
A few things that helped me:
- only attend things that are really important
- reserve way enough time for travel and preparation
It’s still not perfect, but they help me things I had a hard time coping with:
- planning way too much in a day (hence the only really important stuff)
- making far to optimistic estimates for travel and preparation (now I do my estimate times 2 or better: 3)
