Bosses are tired of hearing excuses for why employees

are late to work or for spouses, why partners show up

late for dinner and for teachers, why some kids come

very late to school.

So, instead of giving excuses like, "I am sorry, I am

late", "It's stupid of me", "It's the traffic, I am so

sorry," maybe you should focus on these simple tips on

how to avoid lateness.

1.) Create your time zone so as to blame yourself

whenever you are late or make your friends

understand how you roll.

2.) Shock your friends by showing up on time. It’s

a good feeling seeing their surprised gestures when

they come after you.

3.) Stop making plans. Become a Hermit. Hermits

don’t need time

4.) Go to bed fully dressed and in your make up so

the next day, you don't have t worry about it.

5.) Stay up the night before an early morning

appointment. May be a bad idea but the fear of

lateness could keep you awake anyways.

6.) Try sleeping in the bathtub. It's ridiculous but

you might actually wake up before you end up

drowning in a pool pf water. If no water, the

coolness of the tub will wake you.

7.) Learn how to multitask so that lateness is

wiped off the picture completely when you are

busy.

8.) Use an alarm clock. Yes, use one!

9.) Create a list of plausible excuses should in

case you are late. Avoid a query.

10.) Just lie. Not advisable but it could work!

11.) Ask your partner, parent or sibling to wake

you up on time

12.) Set all your clocks - alarm, watch and phone

- an hour ahead of the scheduled time.
