It's best to take it on time, or follow the usual rule and take your pill within the hour window you have for being late (12 hours or 3 hours) and shift it bit by bit. Of course another way of doing it is starting your next pack early depending on what time you want to start taking your pill. So if you take it at 5pm and want to start taking it at 9am, take it 8 hours early and continue taking it from that time with the rest of your pack. Taking it early is not risky like taking it late can be.
