![How To Stop Being Late!](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/268/288597/5b3a265add9a3/Office-Work-Late-Dating.jpg)
Did you know, millennials are the most likely of all peeps to be late? From dates to parties to work. In one recent poll, 22 percent of millennials said they are late to work at least one day a week.

We spend too much energy coming up with fibs to justify our lateness. Time to get real about how your traits, moods, and attitudes might be setting you back.
