Today I would like to ask you to improve your relationship with time.

Get to meetings early.

The alternative is to be late (or possibly exactly on time).

When you are late, you miss things. Meetings have to be rescheduled, and you start to directly effect other peoples’ time apportionment. When you are late, you are rushed, possibly stressed and the result is you are less focused and do not perform as well.

So be on time, but have a selection of small tasks you can undertake (a report or professional magazine article you can read, for example) whilst you wait for the meeting to start.
