I like to do everything on time. Whether I am meeting a friend for dinner, turning in a report at work, or getting my garbage cans to the curb, I am always on time. I value punctuality.
At work, everyone knows that I am prompt and reliable. If I say I can have something done by a certain time or date, everyone trusts my word on that. My boss appreciates my ability to complete my work on time.
My friends know that I avoid being late at all costs. They like the fact that I am on time, every time.
I take a lot of pride in being reliable. I dislike wasting anyone’s time. I have respect for people and their time.
It is easier to be on time than it is to be late. Life is much less stressful when I do things ahead of time. Lateness leads to stress and mistakes.
I start all of my tasks with plenty of time to spare.
I like to work ahead and do my best. It is easier to do my best when I am relaxed and have plenty of time to work with.
Today, I maintain my habit of being on time with all of my meetings, tasks, and other obligations. I am sure to give myself all the time I need to accomplish what I want to do, in the time frame that I want to do it in.
