Describe a person who is always on time

The most punctual person I know is my uncle Bakhtiyor, who is a pilot. I've known him all my life, of course, since he's my mother's brother, and I've never seen him arrive late for anything.

I know this from many occasions. When we're going to family events, he is always standing outside the door ten minutes before we're supposed to leave, usually looking at his watch with a polite smile. If he says he'll pick me up at seven, I can set my clock by it. Once, we were catching a train, and he insisted on arriving an hour early. I thought it was ridiculous at the time, but there was a traffic accident on the road, and we were the only ones in our group who made it.

I think his punctuality comes from his job. In aviation, being a few minutes late can disturb dozens of other flights, so he's learned to plan with a buffer for the unexpected. He also lives in a very organised way, with a clear schedule for every day.

As for how I feel about punctual people, I generally admire them. Being on time shows respect for others, and it makes everything calmer. I do admit that I'm not always perfect myself, but I try to follow his example. Now I check the traffic the night before, and I leave earlier than I think I need. It has reduced my stress a lot.
