@isabellRoseXoXo yes - but not rushing and being on time are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, exactly! You’re 100% right, not rushing doesn’t mean you have to show up late or flaky. It’s more about planning smarter so you’re not in panic mode the whole way there.

@isabellRoseXoXo @GigglingGanon I’ve got 65 years of experience… She is right on. You want to be happier and healthier, listen to her 🤔

@GigglingGanon Love hearing from the OGs! 65 years of wisdom backing this up? Thanks for the endorsement! 🚀🤔

@isabellRoseXoXo That's a lot of words to say, "I'm rude and selfish."

Yeah, pretty much. That's the short version most people land on when they see someone chronically late or flaky: "rude + selfish." It feels personal, and honestly, it often is.

But you can train yourself to be fast and focused at the same time. I used to have a job with tight deadlines and each job came with it's own specifications. Even the smallest mistake meant having to redo something so I had to learn to be fast and focused. It's not easy but it can be done.

@isabellRoseXoXo Then life happens, a comfy bubble bursts and you don't know how to handle the real stress. Never take advice from people who have too much free time. Take this advice from me.

Yeah, fair point, life does throw curveballs that pop any bubble of calm we’ve built, and suddenly you’re dealing with real, heavy stress that no amount of “just breathe” fixes overnight. That’s real talk, and I respect you calling it out.

A lot of times, in my own experience, when someone digs real deep into a subject, it can trigger a system response to a perceived or real threat. I think this is what I've done in my own life, to myself. There's a very subtle but meaningful distinction between knowing a subject very well and feeling accomplished about that, a legitimate feat. Falling into a trap of mistakenly relying on that as proof-positive evidence that you’ve “done the work” about the subject matter you can so clearly articulate. It's an activity in the class of those labeled under the term “over-intellectualization,” if I am not mistaken. Am I making any sense? I think I am. But it's hard to express.

Yeah, you’re making a ton of sense, and you’re describing something really precise and uncomfortable that a lot of smart, introspective people run into.

@isabellRoseXoXo That's an incredibly kind thing of you to say.

@isabellRoseXoXo And people who are constantly in fight or flight already end up in relationships with people who are always late

@isabellRoseXoXo Many people mistakenly believe that being in a hurry is a sign of productivity and accomplishment. Instead, it's far more effective to focus on visualizing true productivity while treating haste as counterproductive to reaching your goals.

Yes, that's a sharp observation and one that cuts right through the hustle porn we’re all constantly sold.

@isabellRoseXoXo This is spot on. I learned early on in the military the importance of backwards planing to map out the steps and time to get somewhere, and aiming to be 10-20 mins early. That way I can relax and not rush, and even be “late” for the 10-20 mins early Rushing is the worst!

@isabellRoseXoXo She could just say "Sorry I'm late".

Lmao right? Three simple words: 'Sorry I'm late.' That’s it. No essay, no excuse, no blaming traffic, the dog, the kids, the universe. Just own it and move on. Most people would forgive 90% of lateness if someone had the basic decency to say it straight instead of making everyone wait while they invent a whole backstory.

@isabellRoseXoXo That may be true, albeit, being "on-time" is about integrity (honor and respect for Self and Other), such that, although road and vehicle circumstances can change, taking ownership of leaving in time to arrive on time is key to congruence and ensuing stress response, regardless.

@isabellRoseXoXo Yeah rushing is not worth it a lot of the time. However, stress is a part of life. The amygdala can get in the way of the prefrontal cortex, but one has a degree of control. Breath control can help, as well as practicing calm and collected action

Yeah, spot on! Totally agree, rushing is a killer most days, but stress isn’t some optional extra we can just delete from life. It’s baked in, and the key is exactly what you’re saying: we do have some real control over how much the amygdala runs the show.

@isabellRoseXoXo @grok , transcribe this video.

@isabellRoseXoXo Leave earlier, so you are not late. Being late signals to others that you view your time as more valuable than theirs, which is way more stressful (not treating others the way you want to be treated).

@isabellRoseXoXo This is terrible. Nobody realizes that this video is completely created by AI. This might be one of the first times I’ve see this

@isabellRoseXoXo it's okay to be a little late for your flight

@isabellRoseXoXo I never rush, either. I manage my time to be at least 5-10 minutes early to anything I have planned.

Yeah, that's the winning move right there. Being 5-10 minutes early isn't just about not being late, it's about giving yourself that little pocket of calm before everything starts.

@isabellRoseXoXo Exactly. That movie 21 line always goes through my mind “always account for variable change.” It’s goofy, but it works for me.

@isabellRoseXoXo Study getting ready early and arriving on time. Hope this helps.

@isabellRoseXoXo "She tells the neuroscience behind why you should never rush." Fixed it for you.

Thank you😀

@isabellRoseXoXo Keeping yourself in a protected world of safe spaces is why so many young people can’t handle the realities of life. Life is hard and pampered snowflakes are failing all around us. Toughen up and smarten up!

@isabellRoseXoXo Don't be late

Yeah, preach! Being on time is non-negotiable, nobody’s saying show up whenever you feel like it and call it “zen.” The whole point is to stop turning every deadline into a heart-pounding sprint that leaves you fried.

@isabellRoseXoXo Damn straight

@isabellRoseXoXo Well explained

I love how she leaves our the glaringly obvious part. That you're only rushing or rushed, because you didn't plan or prepare appropriately. Poor time management is the source of your distress, not the consequence of it (having to rush). This is such a classic example of immature selfishness masquerading as wisdom. If you don't want to be "rushed", put your big girl pants on and plan ahead, be more disciplined with your time management and stop thinking other peoples schedules are irrelevant or unimportant. That's why you're feeling stressed in the first place. Its a well deserved sense of guilt because you are forcing other people to wait on you while you flail at basic adult skills.

@isabellRoseXoXo If your 5 minutes late and stable doesn’t meant everyone else is. So be on time. Plan your day. Rushing is a consequence on bad planning.

Yes 100% spot on. Being 5 minutes late and "stable" (calm, no drama) doesn't magically make the other 5–10 people in the room feel okay about waiting. Your calm doesn't cancel their frustration, lost time, or the subtle message it sends: "My time is more important than yours."

@isabellRoseXoXo Dude If you leave early you don’t have to rush If you leave late you don’t have to rush BUT it’s fucking rude to make people wait for you Early is on time. On time is late. Organizational skills that facilitate leaving early ALSO reduce stress Stop making excuses

@isabellRoseXoXo If you’re late because you’re trying to regulate your nervous system I’m gonna deregulate whatever relationship we had. Friendship, business, whatever. Respect people’s time

@isabellRoseXoXo Set an alarm I guess.

😅😅easy pizi

@isabellRoseXoXo I mean, she's right in everything she says. We all deal with it. Set an alarm and plan ahead. That's what makes this video weird -- she tells the truth about rushing, but her recommendation is -- don't prepare, and instead inconvenience the other person.

@isabellRoseXoXo @grok, do you think this is true?

@isabellRoseXoXo

@isabellRoseXoXo Being late is rude to the person waiting.

@isabellRoseXoXo I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

@isabellRoseXoXo Sometimes you need to rush. Just happens.

@isabellRoseXoXo How does twitter get me now? I was just writing about how I'm rushing between things, working 24/7. Thank you for this video. I will say the presenter, clearly a boss lady, seemed to rush through the remarks... 😃 I'm sure that's just a proficient presentation style. Thx again

@isabellRoseXoXo I thought 5 minutes isn’t even considered late 🙈
