Habits of extremely punctual people
準時達人的好習慣
They're fine with downtime.
等待時間,同樣自在。
Because punctual people give themselves buffer time, they often arrive early—and they are more than comfortable enjoying a few minutes waiting.
因為準時的人總會預留出時間,所以他們通常都會提前到達,而且也很享受這幾分鐘等待的時間。
Whether they are checking emails, reviewing notes, reading a book, or clearing their heads, punctual people not only enjoy their downtime, but also come prepared with something to do.
不論是檢查一下自己的郵件,回顧一下自己的筆記,讀一本書還是理一理自己的思路,準時的人都會享受自己這段等待的時間,而且還會準備好做些其他的事情。
People who are chronically late, however, do not enjoy their downtime and prefer the thrill of rushing to and from a place.
總是遲到的人,正好相反,從來不會享受自己等待的時間。他們更喜歡忙忙碌碌從一個地方沖向另一個地方。
If you want to be more comfortable waiting for someone, then bring a book or an iPad to help pass the time.
如果你想享受等待某人的時光,帶一本書,或帶上自己的iPad來打發時間。
