Both I and youngest daughter frustrate the heck out of my oldest daughter who is always on schedule...or would be if she wasn't 8 and not allowed to leave the house on her own. She brilliantly learned how to get me to the next activity...she goes to wait for me in the car.

I can't remember the last time that I was actually on time or,God forbid early, to an appointment!! I pad my Dr's appointments, I try my very best to set my alarm clock earlier, you name it, I have done it, in attempt to be on time! But I am always late! I am going to try out the suggestions that are listed above....wish me luck! :c) I couldn’t help but look this up the moment I read about it in this months issue of “O”.

What articles would they read?" What a delightful thought! @Urbanist - me too. I just always try to shoot for being 15 minutes early which puts me there on time. :) @Ash - ironic, huh? :) @Howie - thanks for your comment! @Greg - I guess it's another way of looking at ADD. With focus and practice we polychrones can make changes that help us integrate better in a monochrone society, but without taking away from our true nature. @Sharm - Welcome. thanks everyone for your comments. @Gina - thank you!

The best thing we can do it probably being aware of the situation. It would be useless to learn about it if we easily forget the lessons. Great suggestions.

P(Perceiving) is about letting the time come at you as it is, and J(Judging) is about controlling how time is used. Not the same but similar. Anyway I'm definitely a Polychrone! I read your article and the article on O Magazine and I recognized so many situations... Being a polychrone in a a monochrone culture is like being out of tune. Do you think it's easier to learn monochonicity as a polychrone than the other way around? I feel that there are a lot of resources available on how to be a monochrone (or act as a monochrone maybe). Being on time, scheduling, GTD, time management and the likes are all monochrone-minded in my opinion. What kind of training would a monochrone in a polychrone-society follow? What articles would they read? Anyway, I'm converting myself :) I'm training all kinds of monochronistic skills (starting to wake up early from tomorrow in my early bird challenge). I think that to really get things done, the monochronistic way is the most effective one. But being a polychrone at heart, I won't neglect to enjoy the journey along the way ;) I think this is more or less similar to the P/J axis in MBTI.

I believe that only a few of those people who work on several projects at the same time are able to focus on their project. Multitasking is not for everyone and would still be not enough even with practice. Nice article.
