Always be early

I left my place about 1.5 hours early today to get to NUS for a pitch.

I am an NTU alumni and have not stepped into NUS much in my life (aside from picking up my girlfriend). Knowing that I tend to get lost easily and the schedules of our transport system can be irregular, I decided on leaving my place early to make sure I got there on time.

True enough, the additional hour that I had buffered into travelling had allowed me to take my time to stroll in NUS and I had reached the office half an hour early. That gave me the time to settle some business emails and whatsapp before heading into the room for a pitch.

The anxiety level reduces drastically when there is sufficient time to familiarize myself to the new environment and I felt the pitch went well!

I will try to buffer 1 hour for my important appointments in the future. I think this is a good habit to keep.
