Does punctuality still matter?

Most of the people are now working online and students are attending their classes online, meetings are done online too. The world has changed in just a blink of an eye. We used to wake up at least two hours earlier to prepare ourselves when you going to work. Parents wake up their kids at least an hour earlier so kids can still have their breakfast before leaving their homes.

But since this habit has changed because of the pandemic, are people still doing their best to be punctual? Do they still prepare early just to be presentable and on time at work? Do people still value the importance of being on time?

Or is it because everything is done online now that people forget the value of time? Do note that punctuality is still one of the qualities that employers check before they hire someone. Being punctual says a lot about a person. It conveys that you are committed, dependable, and organized. It shows how you respect and value everyone's time including yours.

Even if you are punctual or not, I think it is still best to remind ourselves why is it important to be punctual. Here are the five important reasons that hopefully will remind you why it is important to be punctual and that it is still one of the skills that are worth aiming for

Punctuality shows how dependable you are.

Being on time or being punctual gives the impression that you are committed and involve in every task that is given to you. It will also give the impression that your co-worker or your colleagues can trust you with an important task and that no matter what happens you will make sure to submit the task on time and that missing the deadline is not in your vocabulary.

Punctuality mirrors that you are organized.

Being punctual also reflects that you are an organized person. That you prepare everything beforehand that's why you are on time. Did you know that being late every time is just like shouting to the whole world how disorganized you are? It also shouts how uncommitted you are. Being punctual shows that what you are doing is important to you, that is why you try to meet all the demands of your work ahead of time.

Punctuality convey respect

Being on time means you are respecting other people's time as well as your own time.

Everyone knows how annoying it is dealing with a person who is habitually late especially if you are working as a team because the whole team's productivity is affected just because of one person who doesn't respect the time of other people who are working hard just to meet their deadline. No matter how nice you are as a person but if you have a habit of being late, your teammate will get irritated because their work flow is hampered. Other people may think you are not reliable just because of your habit of being late. Being consistent in punctuality gives you an edge for it reflects how serious you are and how dependable you are whether at work or at school. Let's practice being on time and respect other people's time as well as your own time.

Punctuality also means professionalism

Professionalism and punctuality goes hand in hand and being professional speaks for your morals or your integrity.

Setting a meeting with someone is just like promising someone that you will be there on time. It's a mutual agreement that both of you will be there on the said time that you both agreed. This is a simple demonstration of how you handle promises and promises means that someone trust you.

Try to observe the big bosses in your office, they usually arrive earlier than all of their employees, they are are always on time during meetings that is because they are professionals who doesn't want to be caught unprepared for everything.

Punctuality means valuing oneself.

Punctuality is not only about respecting the people around you but also valuing and respecting your own time.

While it may appear that you value other people's time by being on time it also shows that you yourself value the importance of punctuality. It means that you don't want to stress yourself and that time is too precious to be wasted. It establishes the fact that you are an organized person and that you carefully manage your time by doing the task or attending to other commitments without being late. And because you project yourself to be punctual you also expect the others to reciprocate the same respect that you are giving them.

If I'm going to it summarize it, punctuality is vital on ones road to success. It is one trait that one should always have in order to achieve our goals. It is one trait that let you earn the trust and respect of the people around you and you inspire them as well to do the same. So, if you are going to ask me it being punctual still matters now a days, my answer is big big YES.

On more than one occasion I got tired of waiting for the person, as he did not arrive then I returned, then he called me, asking why he had not assisted, I answered it was simple, you were very late and I did not wait for you. I have had bosses who call a meeting at 9 am and start it at 12 pm. it is very annoying, that is lunch time, or maybe they like to see everyone yawning and wanting to leave, not paying attention to what they say.

People who are unpunctual to me personally annoy me a lot. As you say, it gives me the impression that they do not take you seriously or that they do not care about the task. You can always be late if there is a problem, we are not robots, but at least notify us before to find out about the situation that will delay the appointment. Notifying shows that you are doing your best to be on time. I don't like being late, I even arrive about 10 minutes before being possible.

My mama always taught us that if we have some event to attend to we need to be on the venue at least 20 to 30 minutes. Good thing talaga sinanay kami ni mama, kasi nadala ko talaga siya until now. If may lakad talaga ako, or sa work, I will prepare myself at least two hours para di ako ma late. Being on time will really reflect your well being. And for me, mas better ng ikaw maghintay talaga kesa ikaw hintayin ii. Nakakahiya kasi talaga.

Punctuality is very important to me. I wake up on time. I know myself I need time in the morning. I always try to be 10-15 minutes early. I can get a bit stressy if I am late. All the points you shared are very good.

Being on time is important for me to keep my promise. In online matters, what I like most in this process is that my grocery shopping comes to my door. I always thought of the time I spent at the grocery store as wasted time.

What a coincidence, this is the virtue that I taught to my grade 2 pupils earlier during my class in Values education,...and I remember telling them to remember that "Time is gold and a wasted time can never be recycled and cannot get it back".

And I personally, trying to practice this virtue because I am always procrastinating in doing my things, and I kinda suffer the consequences, hahaha

I always try to be ready for classes 30 mins before they start since I hate being late haha. Also, I decided to continue my habit from pre-pandemic of waking up early and preparing for the day immediately. I like to get the things I hate out of the way early on so I can focus on doing some fun things for the remainder of the day.
