Is this promptness "punctuality" or "instantaneous or immediate"? In this case, why can't precision be an answer?
What is the exact difference between "precision" and "promptness"? I guess precision is for numerical or engineering meanings, while promptness for time-wise things.

ex) Some people tend to be late as a general rule, whether they are busy or not. To stop being late, all one has to do is change the motivation by deciding that in all circumstances being on time is going to have first priority over any other consideration. Presto! You will never have to run for a plane or miss an appointment again. As a lifelong latecomer, that is how I cured myself. Having made the decision that (promptness) was now of major importance, I found that answers came automatically to such questions as “Can I squeeze in one more errand before the dentist?” or “Do I have to leave for the airport now?” The answers are always no, and yes. Choosing to be on time will make your life enormously easier, and that of your family, friends, and colleagues as well.
