This personal essay explores the author's struggles with chronic lateness and their journey to becoming more punctual. It delves into the psychological reasons behind time management issues, the impact of lateness on others, and the author's gradual shift towards a more realistic and structured approach to time.
in my life who are chronically punctual. And yes, they’re always waiting for me. And yes, they have varying degrees of showing they’re pissed about it.
Recently, that brave friend who initiated this change said: “It literally hasn’t been a problem since that conversation — if anything, I’ve been late a few times since”. I let this sink in with a smile. Realizing that over the last year my time management has slowly but noticeably improved, I allowed myself a rare pat on the back. Trying to fix my lateness, but small changes added up.
Optimism has its place, but when you’re always late, I think realism or even pessimism has to set in. You have to know when you need to cut your losses. I might have wanted to make extra effort with my makeup, or detour to the Post Office first, but if I got up late then something else had to give. Gone are the days of still trying to fit in everything. The glittery eyeshadow will have to wait for next time., says time optimism can be changed.
