Is it common for you to arrive late for everything? Do you carry a lot of responsibilities and duties that make it difficult for you to arrive on time, or could it be the reason that you do not put a higher emphasis on timeliness?
There could be numerous causes of someone being late. Some common ones include:
1) Procrastinate heavily: Putting things off until the last minute can be a reason for being late at work. Lack of effort and procrastination can also contribute to being late.
2)Lack of maintenance: People who find it challenging to manage time and can not estimate how long a task will take, which contributes to one of the reasons for being late.
3)Not correctly sorting things: People who do not organise things properly may have difficulty finding things they need or find it hard to keep track of their schedule; these reasons can also contribute to being late.
4)Bad planning: Not making the time to plan and considering the logistics of reaching the destination can also contribute to being late.
5)Failing to transition: Some people may find it challenging to switch from one task or action to another, which can lead to lateness.
6)Difficulty in contending: People who feel guilty in confrontation might feel anxious about telling someone they are going to be late and may experience discomfort by avoiding not leaving on time.
