1. Be on time

We all can be terrible procrastinators but when it traveling either by air,sea and land ,life is just a lot easier when you get things done early. You would feel less stressed and relieved  and much more organized . Being punctual is key . People tend to take you more seriously,and it is over all just  the best for your health. When you’re late to a place,like the airport for example you get so anxious and are so unsettled scared that you might miss your flight then you even forget things along the way .which would make you more stressed later.

An article from the Art Of Manliness on punctuality says “Showing up on time not only tells other people you are dependable, it teaches you that you can depend on yourself. The more you keep the promises you make, the more your self-confidence will grow. And the more you gain in self-mastery, the less you will be at the mercy of your compulsions and habits, and the more in control of your life you will feel.”

I totally agree,even if you’re going on a vacation being on time is a key factor to avoid stress.

2. Get things done before the deadline

• Do not do things you need for your trip at the dying moment,make sure you have
• Collected enough money from the atm the day before,or from whichever source
• You have your bus/plane ticket(or show up on time to buy it the next day)
• Book your hotel room at hotels.ng

Basically,whatever you need for travelling get it done the day before,or even weeks if possible. You do not want to get to your destination,and then start adjusting yourself,and checking for things that are not there.

Travelling with people,can sometimes be very annoying especially with kids or family members. They tend to be very familiar with you,and do not realise the term “personal space”. Before the trip:

• Let them know your expectations from them
• If you are having any health issues,speak up people tend to be much more understanding towards health
