Scheduling cooperation

I have a half-dozen clocks spotted around the house. There’s always one in sight; they remind me that time does not stand still.

All the same, I push time to its limits. I rarely leave for an appointment at a leisurely pace. I wait ‘til the last moment to act. I can’t believe I have to stop what I’m doing now in order to meet my obligation. What I’m doing is important to me…

My ambivalence towards others’ time, and what’s important to them, is one of the more obvious challenges I have in practicing cooperation.

No less a challenge is making the effort and taking the risk of voicing my thoughts. What group, whether we’re a Study Group or a bunch of guys trying to solve a problem, profits by my silence?

I’m late. Again.
