The current young adult generation (15-30 years of age) suffers from an epidemic of compulsive tardiness. It is very safe to assume that everyone is going to show up late and every task is going to be completed later than it was promised. However, a very few people do exist in this society that are punctual. Following are some traits that these people share:
1. Keep a Buffer Time
These people would always keep buffer time for themselves. If they need to go someplace 15 minutes away, they might even leave 20-25 minutes before they need to reach there. The duration of the buffer time is directly proportional to the severity of the task. The buffer time gives these people the opportunity to be on time even if something else comes up in the last minute. Even if they get to the destination before time, they would not mind waiting a couple extra minutes.
2. Organize
Punctuality is not only about reaching places in time. It’s more of a lifestyle. These people are very good at a set of skills that actually makes them punctual. For example, punctual people are excellent at organizing. In addition, they don’t only have their minutes calculated, but they even have most short term and long term events timed down on their calendars.
3. Realistic about Timing Events and Activities
These people can actually calculate how much time it will take them to finish a task or an activity. This is one of the traits that is directly linked to these people for making them punctual.
4. They do not Procrastinate
These people would not procrastinate in general. People, who try to time their work and finish it before time, would not procrastinate and are least likely to scramble their work at the 11th hour. These people are easily stressed when they are running behind.
