DrObum:
Write to your office, tell them to consistently deduct your pay significantly for everyday you show up late.

Before 2 months, you'll be the one opening the door for others.

Sterope:
How long does it take you to get ready for work?

How long does it take from your home to your workplace?


Calculate those then add 10 mins. Set your alarm accordingly!

caesymore:


You fit try my pattern, during evaluation at my work place they rated me highest for time management ranging from coming to work in time and finishing my bills before deadline.
I sleep latest 1 am, my alarm wakes me at 6am I snooze my alarm and it repeats every 10mins, I snooze till I leave the house ,I say the lords prayer drink a class of water from my fridge go to the toilet throw some shots while I roll my AZ after every in the toilet, I then commence my morning workout, each set of exercise will be accompanied by maybe dishing out my breakfast which is mostly garri and soup as I don't eat till I come back from work , the soup goes to the microwave. I continue my workout everything goes from 6 to 7 once its 7 I boil water for Garri and turn on the microwave eating and every goes till around 7:22 then to the bathroom I go brushing, bathing and listing to good music remember I'm still snoozing my alarm once its 7:40 I don push I mostly easily get a bike of N100 to work I get to work 5mins earlier or more everyday but never after 8am.

Though I'm fortunate to be leaving not really far from work, I pay more than some colleagues that live afar and paying less for rent then more on TP

uuzba:

You're being vague.
What do you mean by very early? What time is very early?
In ideal conditions, it take me 45 minutes to get to work.
When lagos traffic sets in, it take 2 hrs.
Bad traffic, 3hrs.
Bad traffic starts from 5:15am.
So i get up very early AT 4AM, leave the house, be at the bus stop by 4:45am
and leave immediately or latest 5am.
5am + 45mins + bus conductor looking for passengers, I get to work 6:00am-6:30.
Work starts at 7:30am.
So I get up early and arrive at work early.

Kayczz:


Tell the HR department to start deducting heavily from your salary whenever u come late.
I think this will help

hawksford:


Lol...

For you to have to bring it to a social forum means you really must be bothered

If you don't mind me asking...

Asides being a perpetual latecomer, do you also consider yourself a very disorganised person?

Do you get to do so many things you're not supposed to do (like unnecessary stuff) before setting out or you just kinda spend so much time on the activities you're supposed to do?

These questions are a good place to start

I have never gotten to work before 10am ... I just can't seems to leave home early. Funny thing is that I can wake up very early and change my mind about going out for the day. I'm also late to airport but because naija airline no dey keep to time I never miss my flight before. Abeg pm me when you find solution

Kennytowel:
Get an apartment that's close to your workplace.
Even if it's a self contain. Maybe a walkable distance, preferably.

Or better still prepare a night before. Pick out outfits,prepare documents and all items your taking along.
Prepare your shoe down,arrange money your taking along.
Infact bath and brush just before bed.
Do you prepare breakfast? If you do (try to make something that is less time consuming (cereal or bread and tea)
If you say you wake up early, reset your alarm like 40mins backwards.

In other words wake up rinse your face and mouth, put on outfits, carry all the necessary items , wear shoe and dash out.
Come back and tell me how it goes on Monday.

Then if your still late......ermmmm.....seek advice from your pastor

Nyenatetan:
Cooking,

Making your breakfast by yourself, in the morning, could be among the causes of the lateness,

Always try to have your breakfast prepared, at least half way, before you go to bed, you'll only put up in fire once when you're awake and in just 5min, guess what you've reduced time,


Workouts

Do you carryout any workouts on daily basis, you can minimise the time spent for that. Maybe if you always did , highest level, you bring it down to medium.

Trends


Don't operate your ohine in the morning, until when you're settled down at work., you can check it out fr messages or missed calls, but do not operate more that replying messages

Good luck, and pray -telling God your intentions- not unnecessarily long devotions at a time it's less required to do so.


Gand luck

Chokhmah:

Stop looking for something to blame it on; take responsibility and be punctual.

avrilwisedata:
Don't mind him. Giving excuses upandan.. He's not ready and he's lackadaisical about ensuring he's punctual.

Sanmel:
I have worked in several establishment and one common thing colleagues can say about me wherever is that "I get to work late".. I feel bad about this though and I've done my best to stop but it ain't working.
Even when I try to leave home early, something must sha happen that will make me get to work late.
I'm beginning to think it's not ordinary. What should I do?

Cooperations need to cut down on these 8-5 thing and allow as much flexibility as possible as long as the work is done.

Not encouraging being late but I wish your work could work around your schedule rather than the other way around. But then again it depends on the nature of one's job.

So yea Op like people have said, try to go to bed early and endeavor to wake up earlier than you would. Statistically, it takes 21 days for an habit to stick. Do this consistently for 21 days and hopefully you get results.

Sanmel:
Hmmm.. Thanks for the advice.. But like I said earlier, even when I wake up very early, I still get to work late.. There seem to be a spirit behind it, doesn't look ordinary to me anymore

Sanmel:
Yeah.. I'm sometimes disorganized.. I scatter and rearrange alot..

Sophiatheninth:


Haha. I'm disorganized to the core. I laze about, I procrastinate. Phewwwwww

Olorilolo:
I used to be this person. I'm really proud that it's all in the past now. Nothing could make me go early anywhere, alarm , roommates, job interviews heck I was even late for my own wedding.

What I discovered was, I didn't know how to manage time.

Secondly, I wasn't organized.

iLoveYouToo:



I’m a meticulous person so even if I wake up 5am(which is impossible), I could spend 1hour+ tidying the kitchen and fixing breakfast for the dog.

Vertraulichkeit:


You can reach me through this moniker because I do not have access to the email I used to open that moniker.

Sophiatheninth:
You're not alone. I used to be very punctual during my school days but immediately after school, it seems I stopped giving an f concerning being on time. NYSC was the worst. Church, same. Each time I try to discipline myself to report early, I end up showing up way too early. Even before the security.

You dey late to chop?
