These days everyone is doing it: travelling for business. No longer reserved for the high-flying corporate leaders, travel for business is part of job descriptions in every field. Along with the excitement of travel for business comes added stress, of course, which needs to be taken into consideration and your best efforts made to reduce potential stressors.
One of the biggest stress factors in relation to travel is Being On Time. Who hasn’t had dreams leading up to the date of travel where a plane flight is missed or a train leaves without you? Dreams like these are a reflection of your subconscious fears and thus they are playing at the back of your mind and taking up valuable energy that could be put to better use in your business life. Better to set those fears aside by making sure that you can’t possibly be late.
When travelling, it’s best not to be reliant on the wall clock, bedside clock or alarm clock in your hotel room. Don’t rely on your mobile phone alarm either; mobile phones have been known to automatically reset the time to the time zone you enter, thus making your alarm (which you cleverly set before your departure) useless. Thus, having your own travel clock is an ideal way to make sure that you won’t miss your wake-up alarm. Setting your own travel clock is easier than fumbling with the hotel room’s clock at some ungodly hour and risking the chance of it not working properly or not being loud enough.
Thankfully travel clocks are not hard to come by in this day and age and you can find one that suits you perfectly. The lightweight travel alarm clock is the ideal companion for trips whereexcess baggage may end up unexpectedly costing you. Even though most travel items these days are made to be lightweight for travel deliberately, it’s always worth checking for a weight designation on the box.
When you travel with your own clock, you will be sure of having an alarm that you know how to set, and whose alarm sound is familiar enough to cause your brain to say, “Hey, wakeup-wakeup-wakeup, it’s time to get to work!” and you will no longer have to worry about the horrible Fear of Being Late.
