Keeping timelines on a fluid schedule means that things get altered incrementally constantly, so now we operate on an (ish) scale for time and not a set number. Like “Oh such and such’s group plans to meet us there at eleven o’clock-ish”, which could mean 10:55 on up to 11:35 before a second clarifying text or conversation might need to occur. It’s not my favourite way to operate, but since my wife’s family are chronically late for anything, and everything I have somewhat come to terms with it over the last twenty four years. It still grates on my nerves at times. But you have to treat it like island time. It’ll happen — eventually. Or you go against the grain, maintain your schedule and leave them behind. I lean towards that myself. Stay on task and forget the seemingly purposeful stragglers. I do get tired of having to change MY plans to suit others who won’t do the same for me. Let’s see how this plays out.
