My mother likes to remind me that my birth on my due date was the last time I was on time. While I don't think one book is going to solve 30 years' worth of tardiness, reading this book gave me some valuable insight as to why I am constantly late, no matter how much time I have on my hands.

I've implemented some of the author's suggested strategies, and more importantly, become more mindful of the psychological factors that hinder my efforts to be on time. To my surprise, I am chronically tardy. To my surprise, I have actually arrived early on several occasions in the last couple weeks, which is a nice feeling.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who has a difficult time with punctuality--not as a cure-all, but definitely as a step in the right direction. Mar 06, Haider Al-Mosawi rated it really liked it.

I really liked this book. I was impressed that it was based on solid psychology, not just some author's opinions about how to not be late.

It was interesting to read about the different underlying reasons for chronic lateness and see some of myself in each of them.

The authors surveyed several hundred I really liked this book. The authors surveyed several hundred people about lateness tendencies and discovered that people who are chronically late are actually wired differently. They tend to have higher levels of anxiety, depression, and distractability, and lower levels of self-esteem and self-discipline. In addition, late people actually perceive time differently from those who are generally on-time.

I really liked the simple exercises included in each chapter, to help readers to learn how to overcome lateness, based on the underlying reason for lateness.

The exercises were genuinely helpful, but simple enough to not be overwhelming. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I liked this book enough that I plan to add it to my personal library, so that I can use it as a reference to remind me of the areas where I need work to overcome my tendencies toward lateness. I'm one of those.

I've been on the repenting side of the argument since the day my folks scooped me up and carried me places. Chided, shamed, nagged, yelled at, spanked, grounded, friends lost, prime locations lost, races, tests, vaccines missed, and a whole bunch of time saved.

Mar 26, Jennifer rated it liked it. Since I was a child, I've struggled with timeliness. Came across this book while searching the library website and thought I'd take a look. So far, the book is doing a great job explaining why punctuality is so important in our culture - if only to relieve oneself of the guilt associated with being late.
