2. They prepare for unexpected delays.

2. 为无法预计的延误做好准备。

Punctual people prepare for any unforeseen delays due to traffic, getting lost, forgetting something at home, etc. If they're going somewhere that is 10 minutes away, they leave 20 to 25 minutes ahead to account for any unexpected scenarios. By giving themselves buffer time, they often arrive early — but never late.

准时的人会为未知的延误做好准备，例如，由于交通状况造成的延误，由于迷路造成的拖延，还有可能因为东西丢在了家里等等。如果到达某个地方需要10分钟，他们都会提前20-25分钟出门，为了防止出现未知的状况。通过预留时间，他们通常都会早到，但绝不会迟到。

3. They're fine with downtime.

3. 等待时间，同样自在。

Because punctual people give themselves buffer time, they often arrive early — and they are more than comfortable enjoying a few minutes waiting. Whether they are checking emails, reviewing notes, reading a book, or clearing their heads, punctual people not only enjoy their downtime, but also come prepared with something to do. People who are chronically late, however, do not enjoy their downtime and prefer the thrill of rushing to and from a place. If you want to be more comfortable waiting for someone, then bring a book or an iPad to help pass the time.

因为准时的人总会预留出时间，所以他们通常都会提前到达，而且也很享受这几分钟等待的时间。不论是检查一下自己的邮件，回顾一下自己的笔记，读一本书还是理一理自己的思路，准时的人都会享受自己这段等待的时间，而且还会准备好做些其他的事情。总是迟到的人，正好相反，从来不会享受自己等待的时间。他们更喜欢忙忙碌碌从一个地方冲向另一个地方。如果你想享受等待某人的时光，带一本书，或带上自己的iPad来打发时间。
