The other day I realized that I am almost always late. I make it on time to class but other than that I am behind about five to ten minutes. Not acceptable. It bothered me that I was helping to perpetuate the “Mexicans are always late” stereotype. At that moment I resolved to not be late again. That was two weeks ago and I’ve done it—I have not been late. Not only have I not been late I have been casually getting where I need to be. I take my time.
I resolved the problem by getting dressed as soon as I wake up. No more checking my email first thing or even having breakfast. Wake up, shower, get ready. Once I am ready I take the time to eat breakfast and do anything else I need to. I wish I had realized my problem sooner since it has been amazingly easy to resolve. Granted, two weeks is not a lot but two weeks without in flubs is pretty awesome.
Here’s to keeping it up! Cheers!
