Time management is most important in the modern world 🌍. One who manages time best gets the best results of their efforts. Missing an appointment can be a terrible experience, especially when appointments are hard to come by.

So, whenever you commit to meeting someone, you should take it seriously, and if something does not work well, you should reschedule the appointment so the other person can manage their time ⏱️.

Here, I will talk about an incident when I missed an appointment for my vaccination 💉. It was the time of the pandemic, and the government started vaccinations nationwide.

I booked my appointment through the CoWIN application and got an appointment at a vaccination centre far from my hometown. As the vaccine was essential and scarce, I booked my appointment.

The appointment was for my vaccination, and it was my first immunization shot, so I was ready. My friend and I took public transport 🚌 to a nearby town, where I was given an appointment between 10 and 11.

The time frame was strict and mandatory for everyone to follow, as there was a heavy rush for vaccination. I missed the appointment as my bus was stuck in a traffic jam and reached the vaccination centre late by a couple of hours, and my vaccine was given to somebody else.

The medical officer told me to book another appointment and reach the venue before the time allotted, as they were also given strict guidelines to follow. I felt terrible, like a loser.

I was a bit angry at myself. I blamed my bad luck, immediately booked another appointment, and decided to finish it as soon as possible. And from that day, I have decided not to rely on any unreliable thing.
