This issue seems to be the simplest one, but the effect is frustrating. One may miss an appointment, fail to attend an interview on time, be late for work, and might not fulfill a personal commitment. This common problem disrupts many vital things in our life. Sometimes in times of crisis, we are unable to handle the situation. Solving the matter in a wink of an eye can be possible if we identify the reasons. If a car breaks down, we never think of common causes. It may be due to exhaustion of fuel or gas or as simple as trying to start with the wrong key. There are possibilities of malfunctioning mechanical and electrical parts.
