The article discusses the paradox of perfectionism and punctuality, where individuals with perfectionistic tendencies often arrive late despite a desire for efficiency. Perfectionists resist wasting time, leading them to delay leaving as they try to complete "one more task" before departing. This mindset creates a cycle of chronic lateness. The author suggests that by purposefully arriving early and reframing this time positively—like checking emails or socializing—perfectionists can enhance their punctuality and reduce stress associated with time management.
Perfectionists resist wasting time, which leads them to delay leaving for appointments while squeezing in "one more task," ultimately resulting in chronic lateness.
