Punctuality is generally considered a positive character trait.

A person who follows the rules, is never late and fulfills his obligations on time usually makes a positive impression on others.

But does this mean that being overly punctual is good?

It turns out that it's not that simple. This character trait can have its downsides, though.

What is wrong with excessive punctuality?

A person who always arrives on time and does his job conscientiously often demands the same behavior from other people: colleagues, subordinates, relatives, friends, etc.

In many cases, this is a good thing: those around you become disciplined and begin to cope better with many tasks.

But there is a problem: an overly punctual person may turn out to be very principled and picky.

It is possible that he will start demanding maximum accuracy and 100% precision in the work from people. Sometimes it will even reach the point of aggression.

Therefore, moderation is needed. Being punctual is good. But do not overdo it: do not bring the desire for precision and accuracy to fanaticism. Understand that a person can be late or make a mistake for a good reason.

Sometimes you can give yourself and those around you the opportunity to relax.
