Habits of extremely punctual people

准时达人的好习惯

可可电台

They're fine with downtime.

等待时间,同样自在。

Because punctual people give themselves buffer time, they often arrive early—and they are more than comfortable enjoying a few minutes waiting.

因为准时的人总会预留出时间,所以他们通常都会提前到达,而且也很享受这几分钟等待的时间。

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.

不论是检查一下自己的邮件,回顾一下自己的笔记,读一本书还是理一理自己的思路,准时的人都会享受自己这段等待的时间,而且还会准备好做些其他的事情。

People who are chronically late, however, do not enjoy their downtime and prefer the thrill of rushing to and from a place.

总是迟到的人,正好相反,从来不会享受自己等待的时间。他们更喜欢忙忙碌碌从一个地方冲向另一个地方。

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时光,带一本书,或带上自己的iPad来打发时间。
