Default most people (including me) are always in a hurry?

It seems like I am always in a hurry to do just about everything from driving, standing in line at the store, typing on the internet, jerking off, working on a rental house, etc.....

is everyone in a hurry these days? I guess if I had a blue tooth I could "multi-task" allowing myself some free time to slow down????

anyway..... are you guys always in a hurry?

I make a conscious effort NOT to be in a hurry unless it's for something REALLY important.

Usually no hurry, usually no stress, because the quality of life is better that way. That doesn't mean I don't like efficiency though - I hate slow people.

only while doing things which I categorize as a waste of time, i.e. waiting in line. I drive way too fast, but not because I'm in a hurry

Yep, stress is where it is at. Contemplate my navel in a zen garden? Not my idea of fun.

People tend to hurry themselves to enhance their personal perception of productivity. If you slow down and pace your day you can very easily slow things down.

I am exactly the opposite. I only rush the little things and take my time with the important things.

Scot, do you have too much on your plate or do your time management skills suck? Or is it just that you are impatient? The first two are easy to fix, the last one takes a bit more time and patience to overcome Try doing whatever it is you do a different way next time. I find that routines breed impatience.

**I have a BS in Civil Engineering, so I have no credentials whatsover FYI
