So true. We've all done it... but this is, no joke, the coolest and most fun break down of the actual experience I've seen to date. Best part - "Texting friends that I’ll be late sry just looking for parking - 10 seconds" It's silly but it's so true. I don't know how many times I've taken a moment to let someone know I'm running behind and as I'm doing it I'm thinking... "I'm literally gonna be later because of this message."

If people can really grasp this it will help them feel less stress too. It's just the worst trying to drive somewhere and being rushed because your "running late". It's a gross feeling. Great read man

Yeah I decided I would rather be an hour early to the airport than ever have that “I might be late!!” Feeling ever again. One time I had to buy a clear membership or I was definitely not gonna make the flight. It feels really stupid especially because it’s so preventable!

Absolutely! I'm totally with you on the airport thing too. The worst place to feel you might be late. Every speed walking step to your gate thinking "omg omg omg" is awful. So avoidable.

I also find it funny that once rushed to a flight most people don't feel relieved/relaxed until they're sitting on the plane, when logically that moment should be when you reach the gate and scan your boarding pass.

I’ve been living this dilemma for over twenty years! Even when I tell myself to leave earlier and I wake up earlier than I would normally, I still end up leaving late! The amount of distractions at home is ridiculous! And why is it that time flies when you are getting ready before going out?! It really is a habit that is so hard to break. I think the most stressed I am during the day is trying to make meetings on time. Really need to sort this issue out! Right... points noted! I will change! (Says the perpetual excuse maker 🙈). Thanks for reminding me that I have issues 🤣

It’s ok! And my advice might not even be applicable, that just happened to be my own reason, but everyone is different! Don’t beat yourself up too much :)

Thankfully I don’t have this issue, if I do it’s very rarely. However, I’ll be showing this to my ENTIRE FAMILY.

Usually the people who need advice aren’t particularly receptive to it 🤣

Well truthfully I’m that way, I kinda hear advice and think “oh why would I listen to this person they aren’t as smart as I am” about 6 months ago though I realized that I’ll never grow in life thinking that and actually you and Elon and a few others on twitter have opened my eyes to that!

This theme stopped me and made me think again.

It's like me. I was always late and that is usually considered lack of responsibility or sincerity generally or considered that actually you don't really wanna be there.

And hard to show sincerity if I was like this.

But I felt it was not like that for me.

I'm less like that now just because I try not to make an appointment and try other ways to meet with enough time frame or something.

I found myself I'm not good with schedule.

The right thing to do might be trying to make more effort to be on time.

but I couldn't go against my tendency of not liking the schedule. 🤔
