Some people are always late for their appointments, which is a habit that may be annoying to the people around them, but there are reasons that explain this.

In the report published by the French "Newzone" website, writer Mylene Kliczynski says that we all have in our family or in our circle of friends someone who does not respect his appointments.

Although he makes an effort to prepare himself as quickly as possible, he can never be ready in time.

Of course, it may happen that a person is late for his appointments from time to time, but some people have a habit that cannot be eliminated.

Is there a real reason for this annoying habit?

Is being late for appointments a disease or just poor time management?

Does frequent delay indicate disease symptoms?

The writer mentioned that repeatedly being late for appointments can be the result of a real problem, but there is no pathology that explains its cause.

According to Alexandra Riviere Likert, a clinical psychologist, the habit of delaying may be a behavioral disorder.

It may seem difficult for the latecomer, as well as for those around him, to accept that poor time management is a pathological problem.

Either way, this bad habit can have real negative effects on one's life.

For psychologist Marie Johann, "Some have a poor perception of time. Others, on the other hand, look for an adrenaline rush when they are late as a way to defy the rules."

An explanation confirmed by Jeff Conti, a psychology researcher at the University of San Diego, who explained that people who are systematically late have a "different idea of ​​time compared to others".

In a 2001 study published in the Wall Street Journal of more than 180 subway drivers, psychologist Jeff Conte concluded that, “Active and competitive people perceive a minute as 58 seconds. People who are more relaxed see a minute as 58 seconds. It equals one minute and 17 seconds.

Behavior that can become a daily problem

The writer emphasized that delays are often due to a lack of organization or poor time management.

Most people believe that this habit is not associated with any disease;

Therefore, those who are late should learn to respect their appointments.

In fact, being late for appointments frequently can create a problem in the life of a person who cannot find a solution to this habit.

Whether it comes to their social or professional life, frequent delays are not welcome.

In work in particular, respect for working hours is mandatory.

Even if it is possible to make up for lost hours, punctuality remains essential in professional life.

The delay also has negative effects on social life.

Reasons for frequent delays in appointments

According to Alexandra Riviere Likert, clinical psychologist, many reasons for daily delays can be explained.

Although the delay is not a disease, but it can not be denied the causes of it.

For example, sleep deprivation may prevent you from hearing an alarm.

In this case, you are late in getting up in the morning, and a series of delays continues.

The delay may also be due to lack of order, as some spend a lot of time searching for their belongings before leaving the house, especially in the morning.

The delay may also have psychological reasons;

Especially if the person does not want to go to a specific date and is unable to decline the invitation, even if their daily schedule does not allow it.
