Don’t be late [Stuff for Getting Things Done]
I’m making an effort to not be late anymore. Late for meetings. Late for appointments. Late for dinner.
It’s not that I’m habitually late for things. It’s that I hate when other people are late. I find it very irritating when a 9:00 meeting cannot start because we have stragglers coming in at 9:05, [...]

Meme: Who is in my feed list? [Gearfire Productivity]
