It would probably be better for walking than driving, but it would be nice to have the path highlighted or even just arrows. Basically video game GPS in real life. It would be great in an unfamiliar city.You can use a phone, but walking around with it out or constantly stopping to take it out kind of suck.

Respecting other people's time when you know that regardless of your own outlook,they're going to be bound to a schedule isn't a vice

It's being part of society / not a narcissist / sociopath

I couldn't convince you of this, ofc, because you're a self described hermit

FKB is right. Timeliness is a fetish and one day we'll realise imposing it on others without consent is just as unacceptable as turning up late.

I'm self employed, and an employer. None of our employees have hard start times, we trust them to get the work done and deal with client jobs in a reasonable time.

Gonna be late because you need to drop your kid or hit the DMV when it's not busy? Cool. Make it up later and don't take the piss.

We've been running 3 years, still turning profit, paying mortgages with full health cover. Even picked up an investor.

Anyway I gotta go, gonna head into the office for like, maybe eightish today.

So you have no problem showing up to meetings late if you schedule a meeting with somebody? Do you just tell them that timeliness is a fetish?

There’s a difference between dropping your kid off somewhere or just not giving a rats rear end about peoples time because you don’t believe in time as a concept. Showing up to some shift at a certain time is not really something that I worry about too much.

But I’m sorry it’s not real that you just set meetings and then show up 20 minutes late to your own meeting because you believe that other people are going to find your time fetish excuse acceptable lmao

They could even agree with you and they would still be beholden to the 90% of people that think that’s a crock of poo poo which is basically the point

Congratulations on your mortgage though I paid my first one off years ago. In a timely fashion actually.

again with the making people wait for you strawman.

You can allow yourself in your daily routine to be liberated from the concept of timeliness without "imposing" anything on anybody else.

What are these "meetings" of which you speak? From past experience in the horologically enslaved world under Corpo I know that there are types of work setups that only function with synchronized facetime and meetings all the time. So I don't institute such work setups in my small but successful organization.

Everybody you interact with can in principle just share their thoughts asynchronously via emails or in a slack channel or whatever. Raise issues through there. Only if exceptions arise of immense importance threatening to bring down the show do you need to ever hit the call button which is an imposition, a demand for your attention, disrupting whatever you're presently doing. The assumption is that it must be pretty urgent and it's the yellow button next to the nuclear option.

But even for those rare situations our rule is to only let the call chime ring for a few seconds. Enough so that if you're within earshot you know someone wants a realtime conversation and the assumption is that it must be pretty urgent. So I respond to that within a few minutes usually. Take a piss first or get a coffee from the machine and check my appearance before I sit down ready to be on voice and/or camera. The other party wants my attention, and now I'm comfortable and focused and ready to have that conversation. Go.

I suspect that most work-from-home orgs could adopt these principles if they wanted to. Obviously not applicable for a worksite with lots of realtime orchestration and micro-coordination. And that's not the kind of work that I do or care to be involved with.

But to answer the question you keep bringing up, of course I show up on time if we have agreed on a meeting. My phone has a google calendar chime thing. I do know what a schedule is and if I have to take like a flight or something of course I can't expect them to wait for me. But this happens so rarely, like a few times a month, so that I can mentally switch, temporarily, from our civilized and gentle "island time" to the barbary which is the "city time" world of the horologically enslaved, emissaries from which we mustn't disappoint by letting them waste precious expensive seconds of their so-efficiently packed schedules.

Just get an automatic watch and never bother to sync up the time so it is constantly adrift. If you really need to tell the time, you have a phone.
