William Shakespeare once wrote, “Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.” While this may be a stretch, the principle is correct.       1      

Throughout your life, you will encounter similar circumstances that require punctuality, such as handing in homework assignments; arriving at school, a job or a meeting; picking up someone from the airport, school, work, etc. avoid embarrassing moments by ridding yourself of any tendency to be late.

Here are some tips:

● Learn to manage your time wisely, which includes setting deadlines. There are a fixed number of minutes in a day---and only one of you.       2     

●       3       This ensures they do not assume that you will be available for other projects.

● Procrastination(拖延) is a thief of time---avoid it at all costs! This includes waiting until the last second to start a task simply because you find it unpleasant.

     4       Worrying about it will not accomplish anything!

● Before agreeing on a particular time for something, think about other events that might interfere.

● Try counting back from the scheduled time to figure out when you should begin getting ready.      5       For example, if you are scheduled to be at work at 9:00 a.m., a 30-minute car ride makes it 8:30, 15 minutes to eat breakfast makes it 8:15, and 30 minutes for grooming(洗刷) makes it 7:45, and so on.  

A．If a task is difficult, do it first.

B．It is always better to be early rather than late.

C．Make sure others are aware of your deadlines.

D．A few minutes delay may not be a serious matter.E. Moreover, habitual unpunctuality leads to indolence (懒散) and even failure in life.

F. Do not worry about the particular order of events; just assign(分配) time values to each.

G. Taking on too many responsibilities means that something will not be finished on time.
