TV and Punctuality
Project: Punctuality Goal: Get to work 15 minutes before shift starts How to get to work 15 minutes ahead of time:
- Do not hit the snooze button. I tried this last night, and yes, it earns you the additional 15 minutes you’ll need to prepare for work. That is, if you follow number 2.
- Stay away from the TV. Unless you’ve figured your late-night (for me) or early-morning shows into your schedule, just don’t tune in.
Why am I saying number 2? Because I followed number 1 last night. I woke up when my alarm screamed wake up. I had my breakfast (or dinner, depending on your perspective), and actually enjoyed it. But Trip na Trip was showing last night, and I just could not help but tune in.
In short, I was still late. Sigh. If it’s not late night shows, it would be the teleseryes. Nothing can keep me away from the TV, haha 🙂 Maybe if I lived in an RV, and the rv towing service was pounding at my door ready to haul me away, I would take my eyes off the TV. Something like that. 🙂
Anyhoo, it’s my big brother’s birthday and I gotta get my share of the food he’s served for everyone. Then I gotta get a few more winks before I leave for work again (last workday for the week!)
So do you think I’ll make it on time?

Ah TV… If I had better will, I’d ditch ours altogether. 🙂

Hi Vera! I can live without TV but not the internet. Good thing I am not working, so there’s no rush in waking up early in the morning. Unless of course I need to wash my son’s bottle and last night dishes. Well, just like Joanne said we all need self discipline. I need it to lose some weight too.
Good luck to the both of us.

I guess now I can say that I can live without TV, but when it’s already turned up the good shows beckon to me. haha

hi vera! your post reminded of the time when i was working for HSBC. my TL said my arrival was always photo-finish (is not uber late). that’s because of the snooze button as well. i didn’t watch much TV and i don’t eat anymore before going to work (my shift started at 8 or 9(dst)) but i can’t resist staying a few minutes more in bed. 😀
to remedy that, i set all my watches and even one of my cell phone’s time 30 minutes in advance. hahaha!

When I was still an agent, I was that way too. I normally come in 2-5 minutes before my login time. Haha. But at the start, I would be at the office 15-20 minutes ahead of time. I know I can do it!

Good luck to both of us then. Maybe next year we can move on to new goals 🙂

hi vera! punctuality has also been my problem. following the “melason” saga in Big Brother caused my late nights and it’s so hard to wake up at 4:00 in the morning! 🙂

If I had to go to work at night I would never get there because of the tv. Morning isn’t as hard to ignore it.

I agree! I wish I could work mornings again, but 2am is the latest I could get these days….
