Having to rush, forgetting things in your haste, dealing with annoyed people when you arrive… It’s no fun. If you’re chronically late, what steps can you take to be more prompt? That depends on why you’re late. As my Eighth Commandment holds, the first step is to Identify the problem — then you can see more easily what you need to change. There are many reasons you might be late, but some are particularly common. Are you late because… 1. You sleep too late? If you’re so exhausted in the morning that you sleep until the last possible moment, it’s time to think about going to sleep earlier. Many people don’t get enough sleep, and sleep deprivation is a re...

This tool allows you to have multiple calendars overlaid over one another. This allows you to see possible conflicts and to move things around to make things more efficient. The cool thing about using a calendar tool like this is to put down all the things you are currently doing and look for time areas that can be better utilized. Here is an example from my daily calendar that many people have to deal with. Given our busy lives and the way most cities are laid out, many of us have to commute to work. This may be by car or public transportation. For many people this is just wasted time, especially if you have to drive. Additionally, most people have a lunch hour, which can be a time to wind down, but many times is unproducti...

But if it’s not bad bike lanes that stop you from commuting on two wheels, it’s probably the fact that arriving to the office in spandex and sweat is hardly acceptable for your 9 a.m. meeting with clients (or the office at all). No one likes to show up at work looking and feeling gross, so we stole some tips for biking to work without looking like you did from Planet Green. Enjoy, and stop making excuses: 1. Bring a change of clothes. Duh. This one’s a no-brainer, but there’s a smart way to pack the right stuff for work: Get a good saddlebag or basket to hold your stuff so you don’t hurt your shoulders and bag hauling a second war...

Some people are against multitasking – they say your brain can’t handle it and will go into information overload. However, if you pick the right tasks (driving, texting, and putting on mascara aren’t a smart combo), you can accomplish a lot with some simple on-the-go multitasking. Call Mom – And Email Everyone Else Your mom has left three messages on your voicemail. Give her a call in the morning on the train, while sorting through your email. Get organized and set up folders in your inbox for different clients, projects, and other subjects. While your mom is jabbering on about why you aren’t married or haven’t given ...

We wake, we work, we eat, we sleep. We wake, we work, we eat, we sleep. Sound familiar? Or did I forget something? Oh yes, We Sit in Traffic, too. In recent years, commutes to and from work have become longer -- which, in turn, causes us to spend more time sitting in a car and less time engaging in physical activity (especially when many jobs are fairly sedentary in and of themselves). Here are some interesting stats related to work commute times, and, specifically, how they have changed over the past decade: ~ Average Commute: Up 14% from commute time in 1990 ~ Solo Drivers: Up 3.4% from 1990 averages ~ Early Risers: Up 11% from 1990, when this percentage less of workers were waking up before 5am. ~ Early Commuters: Up 25% ...
