The importance of punctuality in Japan- what to do when you are late for work | Guidable
Guidable Writers
Having being working in an Izakaya (Japanese bar) for one and a half year, I have seen my Tencho (shop manager) scolding at foreign part time workers for being late for numerous times. For the Japanese who have been brought up in such a time-conscious society, sometimes it is hard for them to accept the ‘loose’ attitude to time held by most of the people who are from other countries. Therefore, if you want to fit into Japanese society completely, it is crucial for you to understand the value of punctuality in Japan. In this article, I will be writing about what is ‘being punctual’ for Japanese and what to do when you are late to your workplace.
Punctuality in Japan
As we all might have noticed, Japanese people are concerned about being punctual. It is common sense for Japanese to ‘be prompt,’ and we all need to aware that ‘being prompt’ in Japanese society has a significantly different meaning to that in other countries. For example, if you were told to go to your baito(part time work) at 10, and you arrived just on time, you would be considered as late. It is because, in Japan, it is common for people to arrive 10 minutes before the time they are told to come. When you are told to come at 10:00 a.m, it means that your boss is expecting you to be able to start working from 10:00 am and not from 10:15. Therefore, you are expected to come before the time you are told to come and preparing yourself to work.
By now, I think you all have understood how Japanese perceive punctuality and knew that being late just even for 1 minutes can be a huge matter in Japan. Even if you have understood the importance of punctuality, there are still many chances for you to be late for work due to different reasons. So what should we do when we know we are going to be late to the workplace?

Why some people are always running late
By Laura Clarke
Confession: I am a late person. At least, one in recovery. In fact, I’ve repeatedly, and embarrassingly, missed the deadline for this article. I’d love to pretend this is some journalistic form of ‘method’ acting. It is not.
I know I’m not alone. We all know that person: there’s the child minder who is always late, the colleague who misses every deadline, even if just by a few hours, the friend you must tell to arrive 30 minutes earlier than she needs to for your lunch reservation.
Despite what may be running through your mind as you’re kept waiting, it’s unlikely your friends and colleagues are just being selfish
There are few habits as infuriating as someone making us wait. But, despite what may be running through your mind as you’re kept waiting again, it’s unlikely your friends and colleagues are just being selfish. A look into the psychology of lateness offers a glimpse into a mind that that may be malfunctioning. But there’s also more than one fix.
No, late people aren’t rude and lazy
“It is easy to perceive them as disorganised, chaotic, rude and lacking in consideration for others,” says Harriet Mellotte, a cognitive behavioural therapist and a clinical psychologist in training in London. “Outside of my clinical practice, others being late is something that can particularly get under my skin!”
The punctually-challenged are often excruciatingly aware and ashamed of the damage their lateness could do
But, many late people are at least somewhat organised and want to keep friends, family and bosses happy. The punctually-challenged are often excruciatingly aware and ashamed of the damage their lateness could do to their relationships, reputations, careers and finances.
“While there are those who get a charge out of keeping others waiting, if you’re typical, you dislike being late,” Diana DeLonzor writes in her book Never Be Late Again. “Yet tardiness remains your nemesis.”

Ways Hugging Makes You Healthier and Happier
Carolynne Melnyk lifehack
A heart to heart hug can have significant benefits on our health and happiness in the following ways:
Enhances Relationships
A heart warming hug increases the feeling of safety, security, trust and belonging. These are the foundations of all healthy relationships. Research has shown that relationships in which hugging and touching are present tend to be stronger and longer lasting.
Gulledge et. al. in Psychology Today say, “Touch is crucial in creating and strengthening romantic relationships. Tactile physical affection is highly correlated with overall relationship and partner satisfaction. Moreover, conflict resolution is easier with more physical affection—conflicts are resolved more easily with increased amounts of hugging, cuddling/holding, and kissing on the lips.”
Reduces Anxiety, Stress and Blood Pressure
When we hug or kiss a loved one, our oxytocin levels rev up. This powerful hormone has the ability to alleviate social anxiety and produce feelings of trust. It also has the peripheral ability to reduce stress.
Oxytocin has been observed to reduce cortisol in the body and lower blood pressure. Gallace and Spence, state that women who report having received more hugs from their partners in the past have been shown to have significantly lower blood pressure levels than those women who do not have much history of being hugged by their partners. Accordingly, affectionate physical behavior can lower reactions to stressful life events.

Adelaide woman launches cuddling service charging $70 an hour for hugs
By Emilia Mazza For Daily Mail Australia
While some opt for a more traditional career path, one Australian woman has launched a 'professional cuddling service' to cater to lonely men and women.
Sarah Sin, from Adelaide, founded Cuddle Care Connection where she offers 'cuddling, affection and light massage' to clients at a rate of $70 an hour.

'Where a masseuse can touch you, you can touch me too,' Ms Sin said of her service
She explained her services are strictly non-sexual and her clients need to wear a minimum of shorts and a tee-shirt.
Ms Sin has 10 regular clients – many of them divorcees – and also offers $650 'sleepover' sessions and travel companionship as part of her service.
'When they come here it's like they are seeing a friend and they get those cuddles and it induces those happy hormones in their body,' she told the program.
'Anyone hearing about my business whether you accept it or not, we all relate to it.'
Ms Sin starts her sessions by asking how her clients are feeling before holding their hands and going from there.
'I'm able to work through shyness, uncertainty, awkwardness and emotional anxiety and if you're happy for me to lead, I would offer numerous cuddling positions that are nurturing, nourishing, attentive and connective,' she wrote on her website.
'My sessions are intended for you to feel seen, heard and valued, a relaxed fun environment where you can let loose and be yourself,' a statement on Ms Sin's website reads
The therapeutic benefits of cuddling:
* Hugging increases oxytocin levels, which is a bonding hormone - this chemical reaction can help to reduce blood pressure, which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease.
