Imagine it’s 9:12 AM and your potential client is already waiting for 12 minutes. As you rush in the door, you see he doesn’t look so happy.

This meeting is starting on the wrong foot. Something has got to change.

You might be struggling with being on time if you have the cognitive deficiency called lack of temporal concepts.

In simple English, it means your brain struggles with the concept of time.
This is super common! But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

You can rewire your brain to understand time. How cool is that?

Many time our brain doesn’t realize how long things actually take.

Here are 3 strategies to help you be punctual:

1. What I found to be super helpful with clients who struggle with this is to time tasks you do often.
How long does it take you to take shower?
Do your make up?
Post a TikTok?
This will allow you to plan better instead of overstuffing your day or knowing how early you need to start getting ready to be at your meeting on time.

2. Add white space in your day. When you plan your day leave an hour, hour and half with blank with nothing there.
This is especially good to plan before an important meeting or event. That way if you are running late, you’ll have time to catch things up.
Better yet, if you on schedule you have some time to do something you enjoy and prepare yourself mentally for what’s coming on next.

3. This is for you my ADHDers! Don’t try to “do one last thing” before your meeting. This “one last thing” ALWAYS takes longer than you thought and will make you late.

Your challenge this week is to pick one of the 3 tips and apply them every single day.

Are you going to time your tasks and plan accordingly?
Are you going to add white space into your day?
Are you going to make sure you don’t do “one last thing” when you’ve got something scheduled?

Remember, time is an abstract concept, and it takes time to rewire your brain, but you will get there!

You've got this!
