Always late – they are actually optimists.

If you're constantly late, don't beat yourself up—your brain is simply optimistic. Research shows that chronic lateness is associated with a positive outlook on the future and creative thinking.

If you're constantly late, no matter how hard you try, your brain is inherently optimistic. Chronic lateness correlates with positive thinking about the future and creative intelligence. You're not being disrespectful; you're full of positive hope. Researchers studying time perception have found that people who are constantly late consistently underestimate how long tasks will take because they genuinely believe everything will go smoothly.

Traffic will be fine. Preparation won't take long. Everything will work out. Punctual people are often anxious. They procrastinate because they expect problems. They prepare for disaster because they constantly imagine it.
