Use Your Creativity to Avoid Tardiness and Lateness
By:Stacy Wright

Being tardy or late sometimes I guess is a human nature. But as it becomes a habit then you cannot consider it human nature anymore. Tardiness can never do good to us and it may lead to things we are not hoping for.

There are many disadvantages of tardiness. At school, when a student is late for a particular class then he/she will not be able to learn what has been taught by the teacher to his/her classmate. One thing also is that you will be the subject of talks and it's an implication that your crush will be a little disappointed in you. In terms of employment, a tardy employee has the possibility to be kicked out from the company. Tardiness is one ground for employee dismissal if being done consecutively. For production workers, tardiness also means reduction to their number of output. In addition, if an agent is late with his/her meeting with another business entity then the deal might not conclude to a positive one. When we talk about relationship, when a guy is late on their date with his lover then the girl will get upset. You don't want to wait for too long right? Tardiness may cause breakups.

See? Tardiness doesn't bring good things to all of us. I mean it's a really negative trait that must be corrected. Who says that you are not capable of changing that attitude? Of course there are lots of ways. One important thing you must do is to have the confidence and belief that you can change. Be inspired to change what must be needed to be changed. I know one method that you can avoid being late. Believe it or not scrapbooking can help prevent tardiness. Yes, you can use scrapbook supplies to create a bulletin that will remind you of a particular event. You can also create a scrapbook to list all your appointments and activities ahead and avoid being late. Post some quotations on your walls so that you will be inspired every time you see them. Mix different colors to achieve combinations that will catch your attention. Use different highlighters to put emphasis on the name of the appointment including the person involved in it. You can also put some pictures of your angry boss on your bulletin to remind you how upset they are when you are late. Scrapbooking not only helps you in avoiding tardiness but you can also express your creativity.

You can lessen your tardiness with scrapbooking supplies. You can know more by visiting a website about scrapbook papers http://www.dinglefoot.com/scrapbooking-paper.html.
