To be on time,you' ll respect yourself.
You only live one life. Your choices matter. Your decisions matter. Your goals, dreams, and aspirations matter.
The only real question that remains is: are you fully respecting your own time with the respect that it deserves? This may come as a shock, but your time is important. It should also be treated with respect.
Why is your time important? Your time is important because it is your time. It is your well-organized schedule and calendar entries. Remember, no one else is going to look out for your best interests.
No one understands what values, causes, and issues are most important to you. And that is why it is so very important for you to show yourself some respect when it comes to your own time.
This includes carving out personal time for yourself, taking your allotted vacation time, participating in causes you care about, and spending time with family and friends.
Respecting your own time may seem a bit silly at first, but it is most certainly worth the effort. It is all about self-confidence and knowing your worth.
Once you learn how to respect yourself, your time, and your needs, you'll have more energy to interact with others. What's more, your impact on society with be that much more effective because you've appropriately taken the time to respect yourself and your time first.
What steps can you take to show yourself that your time does matter? Literally put yourself first in your calendar: schedule personal time on weekdays and weekends as needed.
Go to sleep at a reasonable hour each night. Politely decline invitations to events and activities that do not support your goals, wants, or needs.
Set boundaries for personal and professional time. And make sure you show up on time to appointments you've made with yourself.
And if you're really looking to make a change in your life when it comes to tardiness, make a point to arrive on time to your appointments for no one other than yourself. You can think of this as you being on time for yourself and your dreams, accomplishments, and goals.
The benefits are truly great: you'll get a boost of self-confidence on a daily basis, you'll have less worries when it comes to your calendar, you may save yourself money, you'll make a good impression on others, and yes, you'll be closer to reaching your goals.
Yes, you may not have all the time in the world, but you might as well make the most out of the time you do have available to you.

準時，更好地尊重你自己。
人生只有一次生命。你的選擇很重要。你的決定很重要。你的目標、夢想和抱負都很重要。
唯一剩下的真正問題是：你是否充分尊重你自己的時間並給予它應有的尊重？這問題可能會讓人震驚，但你的時間確實很重要。它也應該受到尊重。
為什麼你的時間很重要？因為是你的時間，所以很重要。那是你自己精心安排好的日程安排和日程記錄。需記住，沒有人會關心你的最大利益。
沒有人知道什麼價值觀、什麼原因和什麼問題對你最重要。這就是為什麼對你來說，給自己的時間予以尊重是如此的重要。
這包括為你自己留出私人時間，分配給你自己的假期，參與你關心的事業，以及分配時間陪伴家人和朋友。
一開始會覺得尊重自己的時間似乎有點少，但這無疑是值得努力的。這一切還關乎於自信和了解自己的價值。
一旦你學會尊重自己，尊重時間，尊重需求，你將有更多的精力與他人溝通。更重要的是，你對社會的影響也會更大，因為你恰當的經營自己的時間，首先懂得尊重自己和時間。
你能採取什麼步驟來證明你的時間是重要的？把自己放在日程表的第一位，在工作日和週末，根據需要合理安排好自己的個人時間。
每晚合理安排自己睡覺的時間。婉言謝絕參加那些不支持你的目標、願望、需求的活動邀請。
為個人和工作時間設定界限。確保你可以準時出席自己的約會。
談到遲到，你如果真的想在自己生活中做些改變，只有你自己做到準時赴約。你可以認為這是你為自己和你的夢想、成就和目標而準時。
好處真是太大了：你每天都會得到自信的提升，當提到你的日程時，你會少一些擔心，你可以省錢，你可以給別人留下好印象，是的，還有你會更接近你的目標。
是的，你可能沒有世界上所有的時間，但是可以充分利用好你所擁有的時間。
