 Good morning, John. It's a Friday, and we've got some different perspectives on punctuality. I get to the airport, ah, like a half hour before the flight takes off. I mean, it's Missoula, and I'm usually checked in beforehand anyway, and I never check a bag because I've changed my pants, like, once a week. That might be too much information. It might be a pro tip. I'm not sure. But in 10 years of doing it this way, I've never missed a flight. I have, however, been late for a lot of things. I am a chronically late person. Sometimes I'm just trying to get that last thing done before I go out the door, or I'm just totally spaced and forgot the thing existed, and I always underestimate how long something is going to take. I don't like this about myself. I understand that me showing up late is seen as a sign of disrespect by people, and it is. It is disrespectful. I feel terrible about that because I really respect the people I work with, and I've valued them tremendously, but I'm not showing it. This has gotten worse with the book, which has a lot of deadlines, and a lot of meetings, and a lot of signing, and signing, and signing, and signing. Yeah. Also, ever since Oren was born, I've just had to do a better job of implementing the strategies that I have developed over the last 20 years of being someone who is chronically late. And here are seven of the most important things that I, as a chronically late person, do to not be that person as much. One, I let people know what I'm going to be late, and I let them know by how much I'm going to be late, and I do not lie about that. If I'm going to be 10 minutes late, I don't engage in some sort of miraculous wishful thinking and think, maybe I will get there in five minutes, so I'll say I'm going to be five minutes late because it'll make a little less bad right in the moment, and then stretch the bad feeling out a little bit. No, this is terrible. Never do this. Two, think of the thing that's going to happen, not as the time at which it's going to happen, but as the amount of time until it's going to happen. My deeply irrational brain sees 1149 and 1150 as two very different times, but it understands that 11 minutes from now is very similar to 10 minutes from now. My phone actually tells me how many minutes something is away rather than at what time it will happen. Three, if it's going to take six minutes to get somewhere, I need to be driving out of the driveway with six minutes left. Not standing up from my desk to go find my computer and wonder where my keys are and then kiss my baby goodbye so that I get in the car and the meeting has already started. All those things are going to happen every time. I need to plan for them. Four, multiple alarms. I have two alarms that go off for every event. One a half an hour before the event and one two minutes before the event. This is especially helpful for things like conference calls because I don't have to go anywhere. I don't have to stand up from my desk. And if a half an hour passes between when I get reminded and when the call is, I'm going to be deep researching salt mining techniques or something by the time the conference call runs around. I know this about myself, so I have that two minute warning. I just get on the conference call, which is maybe number five. Sometimes I get on the conference call five, even ten minutes before the call starts and just listen to that dope music and do other stuff so that I'm not late when other people show up. Six, here's the thing about myself. I like to not waste time and this is part of the problem. And I feel like if I get someplace early, that will be a waste of time. But I have mentally shifted myself to realize that if I get someplace early, something interesting and useful is going to happen at that place in the same way that it's happening at my desk if I'm not leaving early. And finally, number seven, my most important tip. Every time you are late, get out your little notes taking app, whatever it is, and write down why it happened. Diagnose yourself, understand yourself, figure this out. So that is both advice and an apology to everyone, including you, John. I'm sorry that I'm late all the time. I'll see you on Tuesday. And yes, signed editions of an absolutely remarkable thing are going to be a thing. Limited number. Not all pre-orders will be signed. But they are currently available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books of Million. They will also be available at your local bookstore when the book comes out. But only in the US and Canada. That's just how it works. I'm sorry. And if you already ordered, don't worry. The book hasn't shipped yet, so you can very easily go in and cancel it and order the signed edition, which is a separate thing on those websites. There's links at HankGreen.com.
