The ETATruth

30 pointsbreaking bad habits

Stop saying 'I'm 5 minutes away' when you haven't left yet. Be brutally honest about your Estimated Time of Arrival.

How to complete The ETATruth

'Five minutes away' while still standing in your kitchen is a small lie that tells people your time outranks theirs. Trading the reflex number for your real ETA costs a moment of looking unprepared and earns you a name for being reliable.

  1. Before quoting a time, check reality: are you dressed, packed, and actually out the door?
  2. Add the parts people forget (finding keys, parking, the walk from the car), not just drive time.
  3. Say the honest number even when it's worse: 'I haven't left yet, give me 25.'
  4. If you fall behind, send the update the moment you know, not when they finally ask.

Tips

  • A reliable '20 minutes' beats an optimistic '5' every time for how people plan around you.
  • Pad for the predictable: traffic, one more bathroom trip, the thing you'll inevitably forget.

What counts as done

The ETA you gave matched when you actually showed up, with no 'almost there' texts sent from your couch.
