How to Never Be Late Again - College Info Geek

Here are my tips for never being late again.

Note: Yes, I'm aware 30/45 != 1.5 - I just brainfarted when doing the animation. I can probably get my mom to dig up my 3rd grade report cards if you guys are worried about me ;)

at this point in my life i totally ignore alarms on my phone... they ring on and on and i just ignore them... and its not like im dead tired there are plenty of nights where i get a solid 8 hours or more... the only time i can wake up on time is if there is something super exciting or super worrisome that has to get done the next morning... but then i dont sleep that well either

I need this so bad, I am chronicle late to EVERYTHING, I want to stop, I wish I was accepted in the army.

I had used the fudge ratio formula in my studies and It was good to estimate the time required to complete my study.
Thanks Thomas Frank

Has anyone ever tried using music as a method of getting task done? I do this all the time for cleaning my apartment, usually because it one where I dread the most) and it makes me get things done a lot faster.

Personally I always just double my time estimate and before I know it I have a bunch of free time.

I commute by bike and always check google maps to see how long it takes, but the time it takes to go unlock my bike, all the annoying traffic lights and then park and walk, it actually takes 10-12 mins extra. I liked that "turn of the Yugioh!" bit lol

Thank you, Thomas!

I am often scrambling to be on time for my Sunday job at a church, which starts at 1 pm, though I can be a little late and no one will care.

To be early, the method that works for me is

I aim to be early!

I checked Google Maps, which says travel time will be 23 minutes, which means travel time will be at least 30 minutes. So I leave 40 to 45 minutes early.

so... we are gonna ignore how ironic that procrastination ratio is called fudge ratio
