Are you always late? You may annoy everyone with your tardiness ā¦ but according to science, youāll likely live longer and be more successful. People who are always late are less stressed, not worried about deadlines and are generally more relaxed ā all resulting in better health. And people who are always late tend to be more optimistic ā they really think they can go the gym, shower, get dressed, stop at the grocery store, and run a few errands ā all in an hour ā and still be on time for work, or class or to pick up the kids at school. Optimism is also an indicator of better health ā and can influence productivity and success. Cheers for being late! (Southern Living)
