My partner makes out a step-by-step travel plan for me. This includes the time I will get to my destination, so I can check on my watch and not have to look out of the window all the time.

I never book a train journey which has a change in it.

For my taxi fare, I try to remember to sort out the right money the night before, giving me time. They often don’t have change first thing in the morning.
