What about getting late?
Introduction
It is overrated the term 'getting late'.
Sometimes you do it early, sometimes you do it late.
Defintions:
Let's define a period of time T, which are the minimum seconds to do something, such as homework, a job, a project, an
article,a joke, whatever, and T', which is the difference between deadline and present.
T'=|now-dl|
dl: deadline is a date, a time in the future.
Doing on time at time or late
When a required task, always, or at least in most of the cases we have:
T'>T as early
T'=T is a lower bound to start doing the stuff.
We may do the task at the beginning of the request:
T'-T=delta
delta>0
and
T'-T=alfa
We have:
alpha>=0
alpha
And it is really late when alpha
Now, according to relativeness of time, the experience of when you do it may change.
Theorem 1. Depending of the quantity of movement is the sensation of time.The more you move (physically or mentally), the time passes faster.
Proof: stay quite for 2 minutes. Contrast with trying to solve a puzzle, to run to the next metro station, doing what you like the most such as playing soccer, jacking off, etcetera, in 2 minutes.
You got it, don't you?
Excitment is in direct relation with adrenaline. When we move more we deliver more adrenaline.
According with a fixed delta or alpha we apply Theorem 1, it is more exciting T seconds before the deadline. Because theres is more movement. And, actually you do the stuff at time.
Conclusions
Just because you finish doing something at epsilon seconds before deadline it does not mean it is late.So, people overreact when you give results almost at the deadline.The excitement of doing things in T seconds when you just have these T seconds is pure adrenaline.So, don't tell me I'm late and do not stress yourselves.
However, with a delta, there is time to do something more excitement.
I got late to publish this, by the way.
Future work
Don't hurry we have a quite big T' to work on this.Relax.
