Here’s a great way to develop a positive trait and steal back some precious free moments all in one move: get comfortable with waiting.

Punctuality is never looked upon poorly, no matter what your fashionably late friends may try to tell you. However, being early can leave you in the awkward position of having nothing to do while you wait.

Be a bit more intentional than that – look at this downtime as free time that you created and use it productively. Plan to be early and utilize your inflow. Catch up on reading, check your feeds, or listen to a podcast. You’ll find yourself getting more done while also developing a positive reputation for being punctual.

Accomplishing two great things in a row? That’s called a winning streak.
