舌尖上的美國(68):談?wù)撨t到(上)
總是勉強在最后一分鐘趕到公司?赴約時就算提前打出幾小時的富余，最后還是會遲到?有人說這是拖延癥的表現(xiàn)，可專家說，這種情況叫chronic lateness(慣常遲到)。

下面這些描述，你覺得耳熟嗎?
** You're always rushing at the last minute, even though you've promised yourself countlesstimes that you wouldn't let this happen again.
你總是在最后一分鐘時沖向目的地，雖然之前你已經(jīng)無數(shù)次告訴自己不會讓這一幕再次發(fā)生。
** You've tried setting your watch several minutes ahead, but you're still late.
你已經(jīng)把手表調(diào)快了幾分鐘，可你還是遲到了。
** You may be punctual for work (barely) but you're usually at least 20 minutes late formeetings, appointments, class, church, theater or other non-work situations.
可能上班的時候，你勉強能做到準(zhǔn)時;但在會議、預(yù)約、上課、教堂、劇院及其他非工作場合，你通常都會遲到至少20分鐘。
** You make excuses, such as: "There was traffic," or "Something came up," or "I was going tocall you but I didn't want to be even more late."
你會找借口，比如“堵車了”，或者“臨時有事”，又或者“我本來想給你打電話的，可我覺得太晚了。”
** People become impatient or angry at your tardiness.
人們因為你的遲到而不耐煩或者生氣。
** You believe that you are more motivated when in a time crunch, or that you move fasterunder pressure.

If you can identify with 2 or more of the above, you have a problem with punctuality, normallyknown as chronic lateness. Chronic lateness is related to procrastination. Latecomers andprocrastinators have trouble NOT with time, but with self-discipline. They may also haveunderlying anxiety about the task they're faced with.
如果以上描述中，你有兩項以上為肯定回答，那么你在遵守時間方面可能有問題，這種問題就是“慣常遲到(chronic lateness)”。“慣常遲到”跟拖延癥相關(guān)。經(jīng)常遲到的人和患有拖延癥的人不是在應(yīng)對時間方面有問題，而是不夠自律。另外，也有可能是他們對面前的任務(wù)有焦慮情緒。
