You send all kinds of messages to the other party when you are late for an appointment. Some of those messages include:
“I don’t respect you enough, so I keep you waiting.”
“I’m actually a disorganized person and can’t accomplish the things I set out to do in the way that I intended to do them.”
“You may not be able to trust me in the big things because you can’t trust me in the little things like punctuality.”
For all these reasons, you should always be early for an appointment so that there is never the danger that you will be late. Estimate in advance how long it will take you to prepare for an appointment including the drive time traffic you may encounter.
If not today, when?
