Hey, swell cats family, I hope you're having a wonderful evening. I know all of us at some point in time in our life had that one friend that always seemed to run late to everything. And sometimes we're that friend that's always seeming to run late. I know when I was younger and I was playing in symphony orchestra and had a lot of recitals, it seemed like my parents would always be late to my recitals
And we were never late for appointments. It's just something that in our family we didn't do. But I think some people, probably not the majority of them, but people who are, for example, in show business and go to a lot of parties, they'd be taught types. And that class of people, I think they're called fashionably late. I think they intentionally go in late so they can be noticed

I think maybe the deeper issue is sometimes looking back at it, it can be also a form of rebellion and disrespect, because it can be like, well, everybody else has to be there at three, but I'll get there when I get there, which is not really good because you're not being considerate of the time and the person who's hosted it. So as I've gotten older, I swear I've gotten better, but I feel like I haven't

Because my dad, when I was younger, my dad used to always say, we go into church, we're going to be on time, but we're not going to be right there at the beginning of the service. Because he used to always be like, we ain't going to start they service for them, right? So meaning we're not going to get there and be there before they members there and we got to pull the service. And so I always thought that was funny

And more often than not, I am five times more productive. And I end up creating better quality content when I'm pressed for time. Now, I don't know if this is some sort of a mental block or if I'm truly in the moment at that time, but maybe that's what it is. When I'm pressed for time, I really don't have the luxury to daydream or go about being distracted

Hey, auntiet, thank you so much for coming on to this podcast. I agree with you about the rebellious part. I think sometimes some people's tardiness really is about you're not going to tell me what to do. You're not going to tell me what time to be there. I show up when I want to show up. I show up when I get there, when I get there. So you ain't going to tell me I got to be here at a certain time

Hey, SIS, thank you so much. Now I am on time for church. Because one thing about our church, we don't play when it comes to starting on time. We have a countdown clock, and when that countdown clock hits 10:00, we're starting. We don't care who's there, we don't care who's running late, we don't care who's standing in the hallway. You're just going to miss out because we are not going to wait on you

Hey, Georhymes, I have to agree with you. I work better under pressure, too. If I have a deadline, a short deadline, and I know I got to get a lot done in a short period of time, then I am more focused and I am more intentional about meeting my goal versus when. I have an indefinite amount of time or the deadline is far off, then I have a tendency to drag my feet and not get the work done

Hey, how you doing? Swell. Jeremy, let me let you know something. It's crazy because you know, my wife, she is not she is one of those people, you know, that fall in that category that's always late to something. And my two oldest cousins, they fashionably late literally to everything. It don't matter what it is. It does not matter what it is. Again, it doesn't matter what it is. It's not overrated

Hey, you know it's bad anytime you got to tell people straight up, don't be late. You know it's bad. It's bad when you got to say it. They already know how you feel, and you try not to hurt nobody's feelings or offend anyone, but sometimes you just got to make it clear. Don't be late. I've had to say that to my parents before you. I was more polite, though

You know what I mean? People have lives. So if you respect people and you take your relationship seriously that should be something that you're actively working on. Because sometimes it's like, ha ha, it's funny, but other times it's not. And I think I've reached the point where I'm like, yeah, it's not funny. It's really not. It's disrespectful. But then again, it's kind of like what you said too
