Preparation
Reading text
Tips
1. You don't need to write complete sentences for text messages.
2. Use abbreviations like LMK (= let me know) or use emojis to save time writing.
3. You don't need to use full stops (.) at the end of messages.
4. Say how many minutes you think you'll need, e.g. I'm running 10 minutes late.
5. It’s good to say sorry and sorry again, but you don't need to say sorry in every message.

I always go to my appointments on the time if traffic is good.

I'm a perfectionist, therefore I don't often come late at any appointment whatsoever, but like everyone else, sometimes I have some unexpected problems like traffic jams, feeling sick, or just because of my alarm doesn't work as I want to. In those cases, I have to admit that I had broken my golden rules and feeling really terrible toward myself. Still, the most important thing is I had tried my best to achieve the ideal goal.

I can sound immodest but I am a very punctual person. I am never late for work. There is one exception :) Meeting with friendsand parties ! There is nothing worse than guests before or on time:) It is a good habit to arrive a bit later than the invitation time to give a little more time to your hosts.

I always try my best to be on time or even from 10 to 15 minutes earlier all the appointments. But sometimes I'm a bit late. I remembered the last time I was until 30 minutes late by the traffic jam but my friend was sympathetic toward me. I appreciated this because waiting for someone is very tired.
