Answer 1

I do a lot of things. One is I set every clock I have ten minutes fast. Then, I make a list of things that I need to accomplish that day and no over estimate the time. Sometimes I think going to the store may take only five minutes, but inevitably there is always a problem that takes three times longer than you expected. Then just PRAY HARD, because that is one of the worst habits to break, next to smoking.

Answer 2

First of all, be humble ;-) lol (Mormon in-joke)

My sister is a single mum of four young school children (her husband works in another country). She stays organised and on time using a number of electronic gizmos.

She has a stop watch that beeps at her when it's time to go to drop off or pick up the kids.

When we were living at her house (8 kids and 3 adults, altogether) she downloaded this nagging computer freeware program that would speak out loud preprogrammed words, at specific times.

It would say something like, "It is 7 am. Mary are you out of bed?" "It is 7, 15 am. Ben have you had your breakfast and cleaned up." etc. There was a separate warning for each child. When one child compelted the particular task, they clicked the OK button on that reminder and it would turn off. It really helped for my sister and I to know when to nag which kids to do what.... and sometimes the kids did it themselves, just from listening to the computer.

It was a bit annoying after a while though...

I thought it would be nicer if it was also programmed to say something uplifting every now and then.

First, maximize your commitments to two in a day, One in the morning and the next in the afternoon or evening.. If you can come at 7:00 Am tell your date to meet you at 8 or later.
Put your alarm clock a little far from your easy reach on the snooze. To stop the alarm, allow it to let you get up and walk through it.

Answer 4

hi, one person told you about a computer program that would help, and i have used this program called > talking buddy ,,,

i did a yahoo search >> http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=talking+buddy+download.com&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7

http://thecyberbuddy.com/

it is a really cool program and as she mentioned it does have some uplifting messages built in the program, it also checks the news and weather and does several things,,,,,,,,,,

and as for getting your timing of things done,,,,, always allow yourself at least an extra 15 minutes to get tasked accomplished, don't be too tight on time,,,, its hard to put too many things to do in a 24 hour day ,,,, its better if you allow for extra time that way you don't run late,

say if you have an appointment to do something at 7pm, be ready at least 30 minutes early, that way you have time to double check and make sure you haven't forgotten something before you leave home, this also allows time to stop for gas if needed, and still be there on time,

remember being a little early for an appointment is always better than being late,,,,,,,,
