Would you rather always be slightly late or super early?

Time is always ticking, But is it worse to be fashionably late or arrive too early?

Hey @neverendingMermaid74 !

I interpret the question as being: "Would you rather always be 15 minutes late or 4 hours early."

If I was 15 minutes late and people were aware of my "curse" that caused me to always be late, I'm sure they would understand and always keep me up-to-date on what I missed or make adjustments, but that could also be problematic and set people behind schedule.

If I was 4 hours late, I would probably get very bored but I could bring my phone or laptop charger with me and just use 7Cups until then. Or have a nap and naps are always important for our own self-care.

I guess, my answer is that both would have frustrating consequences, but I would probably choose to be ... early. Maybe others will be early too and can help to pass the time together. smiley

@ItsDev

I see what you mean!

It seems that both have their pros and cons to them, but it's an interesting decision. I like your explanations of why you may choose either of them!

4 hours seems like a long time to wait, I wonder how you would make it to other activities planned as well... Hmm

That's a good point about other planned activities, @neverendingMermaid74 !

I guess I would just have to manage my schedule a bit differently and space my events out smiley

@ItsDev

That would be an interesting schedule, but perhaps you would have more time for productivity in between events or scheduled things?

Now I'm just curious on how well that would work...

I've always been super early, matter of respect and a margin for unexpected events...

I would rather be super early, because I could always bring something to do in the meantime, and like ItsDev said, I could talk with other people who also arrived early. I feel bad if I arrive late, but not early, and I would rather not miss things.

There is no such thing as fashionably late..being late is not fashionable. However being super early can not be good. Never show up to a party you are not hosting super early!! Its akward and boring.

Considering that I am ALWAYS late, I would prefer to be early for once.

Hi there, Welcome to the Around the World Community, so glad to have you here!

Sometimes being late happens to all of us 😋 And that's okay, but definitely it seems like you've taken the initiative to be on time and ready for work!
