But not me.
The cause is simple: I'm focused on whatever I'm doing and do not shift focus well.
I had to stop looking at the news during my morning coffee so as not to be late for work.
Whether I'm working, shooting, reloading, reading, whatever, I'm preoccupied with it and it's hard to put down.
My commute home is about 35-40 minutes. My wife calls to see what time ill be home. I figure I'm working till 6:00 and say 6:30ish. That doesn't mean I' cranking the truck to drive home at 6:00. It means around 6:00-6:10, I shut down my laptop, pack it up, maybe go to the bathroom, then go to the cooler and fill my Yeti with water to drink on the way home. So I'm usually 15-20 minutes late. I am getting better at the estimates, though.
I've been a SW developer over 30 years, which is not an occupation for clock-watchers. You work till the task is done. Pretty much the same way I do everything. I hate getting up for meetings, lunch, or even going home.
At age 60, I just accept who I am and make no apologies. Except to my wife:-)
