Before Breakfast Put travel time on the calendar
Oct 14, 2025
Travel time matters! Calendars often neglect the time needed to get from point A to point B, leading to frustration and lateness. Consider assigning additional time to your events by marking travel within the schedule. Alternatively, creating distinct calendar entries for travel can allow for more flexibility. Even small journeys deserve a buffer. By planning ahead, you can reduce stress and avoid the hassle of running late, while encouraging others to be punctual too!

Schedule Travel Time
- Put travel time on your calendar so it isn't left to memory or guesswork.
- Account for getting to the location and any buffer time before the event to avoid running late.
Calendars Often Hide Real Time Costs
- People are often late not because of surprises but because calendars omit constituent steps like travel.
- Making calendars reflect all steps removes guesswork and reveals the real time cost of activities.
Two Ways To Block Travel
- Include travel time in the event itself by starting it earlier and ending it later with a note that travel time is included.
- Or create separate events for travel to, the event itself, and travel home to make logistics explicit.
