Sat - 21st March

Morning
i) Wake up, realise that computer table chin a mess, took a photo. (leonard never clear up before sleeping)

ii) Suppse to go scout at 12pm. Told him to set off at 10.40am, becaues need to fetch ryan, followed by daryl before bringing him to school.

iii) As usual , need to nag out of bed.

iv) Then realise that his scout week card is missing. Blame the maid form misplacing it (mention need to report police if lost) When tell him it i his responsibility, again he raised his voice. I shouted back at him. Finally SF found it, TOld him that change up, if still want to get a lift, to call me. Meanwhile i fetch ryan first.

iv) Came to fetch him. Was already running late. First thingm ask him why wearing slipper. Then he go and change into shoes.

v) Anway, really late now. No choice but to leave him at bus-stop instead.

Note
i) This is a typical day in Leonard's life
ii) Dont clean up after playing comp games at night
iii) Dont plan or prepare for the next day.
iii) Must be pushed to get ready to go off (even although last minute)
iv) Dont keep things properly. WHen lost, blame the maid, as if it is not his fault or duty to keep his own scout card. Does he expect the maid to know the importance ? Why is he relying on someone he claims to be stupid in the first place ?
v) Never concern about making other people late or that his brothers are waiting. Still dilly dally, even as we chase him.
vi) 1.05 pm, called me. Scout is done. But dont have clothes with him for tuition later.

Comment
It is up to him whether he wants to improve on things. He can improve by doing some planning, which will require less than 15 mins effort.

i) He could clear up the computer table after using.
ii) Put his card in a proper place or in his scout uniform.
iii) He could have prepare his uniform the night before. Even if he doesnt do that, he can prepare his uniform immediately when he wake up
iv) He could have pack his tuition clothes the night before or when he wake up as well.

The advantage
i) All he needs is 15 minutes to plan for the next day.
ii) He wont be in such a rush, taking so much more time.
iii) He wont get his parents , all upset
iv) He wont be so upset and desparate himself. What if he cant find the card ? Need to report to police etc. Wont that cost him more time ?
v) Less than 15 mins and he wont have to be so messy, casuing trouble and inconvenience for everyone.
vi) Once planning is done, he can rest till last minute before leaving. He will be relaxed. He wont get into trouble. Isnt that 15 minutes worth it ?
vii) That 15 minutes of planning actually gives him so much benefits. Isnt it worth it ? He should learn from his brother Daryl and Ryan, who does that .
viii) This is what planning ahead is about. Think of the next day. Think of what you need to get ready for activities on the next day. ONce it becomes a habbit (like reading papers), it is no longer a pain.
