‘Tidsoptimist\u2014a person who’s habitually late because they think they have more time than they do’.<\/em><\/p>\n

Had I only known this word earlier, everything would have made sense to me. But I guess I didn\u2019t have enough time to Google it because I was too busy missing my deadlines and disappointing others for not showing up on time.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, un tidsoptimista es una especie de optimista de la vida. Un tidsoptimista es totalmente optimista con respecto al tiempo. Ven las horas como segundos y por eso les cuesta tanto ser realistas con los plazos y las distintas tareas que tienen entre manos.<\/p>\n

Ser optimista en general es un buen rasgo, pero ser optimista con la puntualidad es un poco complicado. Aunque no es bueno preocuparse demasiado por ser siempre puntual, tampoco es bueno ser demasiado optimista al respecto.<\/p>\n

Pero tambi\u00e9n tiene algunos aspectos positivos y, si lo comentas con alguien, estar\u00e1 de acuerdo en que es muy dif\u00edcil calificarlo de malo o bueno. Los optimistas lo saben muy bien. Yo lo s\u00e9 muy bien.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve almost lost my job because I would always be late, making lame excuses, and you cannot fool people for all eternity. Sooner or later, they will realize that you\u2019ve got some issues regarding time and when that time comes, you better be good at explaining it to them.<\/p>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

La mente de un tidsoptimista parece un eterno campo de batalla donde el tiempo es tu compa\u00f1ero y tu peor enemigo al mismo tiempo. <\/b>You think you are rocking it until you realize that you\u2019re late again and you have to face all of those disappointing faces waiting for you to apologize.<\/p>\n

But the thing is, we\u2019re not doing any of it on purpose. We really try to arrive on time but somehow we are prevented from doing so, either because we get occupied with something else or because we think there is more time than there actually is.<\/p>\n

Queremos hacerlo todo al mismo tiempo<\/b><\/p>\n

Empezamos a hacer una cosa y, si nos piden que les ayudemos, cambiamos inmediatamente y volvemos a lo que est\u00e1bamos haciendo. Pero entre cambio y cambio, solemos perder la noci\u00f3n del tiempo y es entonces cuando empezamos a entrar en p\u00e1nico, sabiendo que lo hemos vuelto a hacer.<\/p>\n

La mayor maldici\u00f3n de ser tidsoptimista es que todo debe hacerse en un orden determinado. As\u00ed, si tu rutina matutina incluye lavarte los dientes, vestirte, desayunar y prepararte el caf\u00e9, tendr\u00e1s que ce\u00f1irte a ella, sin importar las consecuencias.<\/p>\n

We simply cannot skip making our coffee because it is a part of our ritual and no matter how late we are, we just can\u2019t fight the urge to finish all of what we\u2019ve imagined beforehand. And we know it\u2019s silly and dumb but that\u2019s just how we function.<\/p>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

Siempre pensamos que hay tiempo suficiente<\/b><\/p>\n

If you ask an optimist what time it is, he will tell you that there is plenty of time instead of giving you the exact information that you\u2019ve asked for. It is because we are sure that there is plenty of time, even though we have no evidence of that.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s deeply ingrained in our being and fighting it only means making it worse. Sometimes it\u2019s good to be stress-free and think that you won\u2019t be late anywhere because time is your friend. It\u2019s good to be able to relax and chill in your free time, not being anxious about all the things waiting for you to finish them.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to deadlines, this kind of thinking simply kills us. And we realize it when it\u2019s too late. We will be thinking that we still have time until someone comes to us to say that we fucked it up again.<\/p>\n

Los plazos son nuestro enemigo mortal<\/b><\/p>\n

Some people are afraid of death but tidsoptimists are afraid of deadlines. There is something about the feeling of being limited to finish something when someone else tells you or when it\u2019s supposed to be so.<\/p>\n

Deadlines feel like the biggest destroyers of our chilly world and we will never understand why people bother so much to arrive everywhere on time. Wouldn\u2019t we be much more creative and passionate if we didn\u2019t bother so much about time?<\/p>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

Perhaps the restriction of time is something that kills our joy inside but at the same time, it is something you can\u2019t function without (at least, that\u2019s why they say). So, when someone gives us a deadline, we try really hard to remember it, even though we know we\u2019ll fuck it up again.<\/p>\n

But there is this tiny spark of hope that maybe this time we will finish it right on time and not five seconds before or after the deadline. And we pray to God that He gives us strength and a release of anxiety while we\u2019re on our journey to accomplish this ultimate task of finishing something in time.<\/p>\n

Alarms simply don\u2019t work for us<\/b><\/p>\n

People who invented alarms probably didn\u2019t have in mind a tidsoptimist. They couldn\u2019t predict that people like me would find alarms totally useless. But who are we to blame them.<\/p>\n

So, dear alarm people, I\u2019m sorry to tell you that alarm sounds for tidsoptimists are just reminders that they have enough time to get up, get dressed, eat breakfast and make coffee. Of course, they have enough time until they realize that they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

And that is the beauty of being a tidsoptimist. You\u2019re optimistic till the last second and you won\u2019t let anyone contradict your beliefs because you\u2019re sure of yourself (for the time being) and your hope never dies.<\/p>\n

You tell yourself that you won\u2019t be late this time, even though you know you\u2019re fooling yourself and others. And then you have to face the dark side of being a tidsoptimist and that is missed deadlines, late arrivals and facing the disappointment.<\/p>\n

Pero, de nuevo, por un segundo sientes que el mundo se ha convertido en un lugar mejor cuando encuentras gente de tu clase y te regalan esa sonrisa que significa que te entienden.<\/p>\n
