Would you rather be 10 minutes late to everything or 30 minutes early to everything?

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Being 30 minutes early to everything makes life a lot less stressful.
You have time to prepare yourself for your appointment.
You don't go into panic mode when you're stuck in traffic unexpectedly, you miss an exit or your train runs late.
You can chill out in the slow lane while listening to Dub.
Or strike up a conversation when you meet someone you know while walking to your appointment.
I call it slow living, and I love it.
100% agree. I’m in a heavily car-dependent area so it’s 30 minutes that I can take to myself alone in my car. I don’t get much time all by myself these days; a lot of it is in my car. It sounds awful (and let’s be real, it’s less than ideal) but it’s what I’ve got and I make the most of it.
I also personally think it’s just inconsiderate to be late all the time. I know that it can be a cultural thing, but where I live, it’s not cultural. Being late means making someone else wait. When I’m on the receiving end, especially if it’s chronic, I feel disrespected and irritated. I try very hard not to make others feel that way.
