]BCarolyn Keating was excited to land a job interview.She knew that being on time was essential to making a good impression，but there was just one problem.“I had written down the address wrong.I meant to check it the night before，but I didn't.”When Keating finally arrived at the correct address，she was 30 minutes late.“I felt embarrassed，”she said.“I carried that insecure，worried energythroughout the interview.”She didn't get the job.For some people，being on time seems nearly impossible.They're always running out of the door in_a_frenzy，arriving everywhere at least 10 minutes late.If this sounds like you，have you ever wished you could break the pattern？According to Julie Morgenstern，author of Time Management From the Inside Out，the first step is to realize the importance of promptness(准时)．Once you feel motivated to make a change，Morgenstern says the next step is to figure out why you're always late.“If you're always late by a different amount of time－five minutes sometimes,15，or even 40 minutes other times－it is likely that the cause is technical.That means you are not good at estimating(估算)how long things take.”Morgenstern said.“And this is one of the common reasons for being late.”The solution，Morgenstern says，is to“become a better time estimator”．She suggests keeping track of everything you do for a week or two.“Write down how long you think each thing will take and then how long it actually took”. This will help you find a pattern，so you can adjust(调整)your time estimates.Keating says this method is helpful.“You have to be realistic about how long certain things take，especially things you do daily.If you know it takes 20 minutes to blow-dry your hair，allow yourself 20 minutes to do it，”she said，“and leave a little extra time for those days when your hair is uncooperative.”【语篇解读】语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是生活。
