timekeeping

timekeeping being late, planning etc. all seem to be traits that are very common among many people with dyspraxia.
often you see that dyspraxics often find themselves being late for things.
when looking into it the diffuclties with planning, organisation etc are definetley going to be contributing factors in timekeeping and possibly even difficulties with learning to drive and sometimes understanding the timetables for public transport can be quite difficult.starting with planning a journey and for certain things to happen at certain times that can be helpful for those of us with dyspraxia so you know how long you have to get somewhere can work for public transport however for me i always get lost in larger train stations i have in the past actually totally forgot about some stuff that was fairly regular once it was actually my driving lesson and i had no idea that i was meant to have a driving lesson then even though they were always on the same day at the same time
now i am quite the oppsoite of this however i tend to arrive very early for things for example when im planning to be somewhere at 320 and the journey takes approximately 40 mins i will leave at 2 oclock not 240 and that gives me roughly 30 or so minutes just in case of traffic or getting a little bit lost if its somehwere i have not been before and i tend to do this give myself extra time for pretty much every journey even if i do it fairly regularly. the one down side to this is that you often end up wasting that extra 30 or so minutes not doing anything (i have actually written parts of these blogs in those situation sometimes). but my view is its better to be early than late however sometimes you have no control over what happens such as traffic or public transport running late or not at all and although its annoying and can ruin any plans, you have to accept that there is nothing you can do and try not worry or stress
