I suppose that depends on how resource intensive it is and how long it takes.

If you have to go to the teleporter building and wait in a long line, it'll be more like "oops I left at home."

If teleportation is basically free and you carry the device on you, it'll be only slightly worse than walking.

The real bad time is if teleporting is portable and easy to do, but expensive. Then we'll really get ourselves in trouble.

    I thought of it as a personal power that you can do at will.

    That one would be better for us, I think, because we could always pop home to grab anything we forget.

    I'd never arrive anywhere on time though

    Absolutely

    "How can I ever be late when I can be anywhere instantly?!"

    Proceed through montage of walking into everything 5 minutes late because instant teleportation definitely means I DON'T watch the clock and hyperfocus/get distracted harder
