    Almost always early. I get stressed out if we're late!

    I am all about efficiency, so I'm usually on time. I aim to minimize the idle time that comes with being early, but I also don't want to waste other people's time by being late - so on time it is!

    I aim to be early - which means I'm usually right on time.

    Early. And frequently too early.

    I grew up with a mom that was ALWAYS late. Significantly. (she's finally getting a little better on that). But it always made me feel bad when it put others out. We called it "accountant time" & would tell her things started an hour or more beforehand if it was really important.

    I worry too much about others & hate making anyone wait on me. I need to work on a better balance though because sometimes my stressing to be on time is to my families detriment too.

    In person, I'm none of the above consistently. I try for on time but traffic & parking usually either make me quite early or late, there's so much outside our control! I will sayy car clock is set 6-7mins late so I have a mental buffer of a few mins when I think I'm running late & everyone in the family comments on it

    I am always early. I have too much anxiety to arrive anywhere late!
