This whole discussion makes me think of Other-Culture Time (Colored People Time, Mexican Time, Arab Time, etc.) Americans are really into punctuality and time management in a way that borders on all the religious. And I mean the good and bad parts about religion: You’ve got practicality mixed in with irrationality, guilt, and anxiety. I mean shit, people make money writing books about it full of methods others will proselytize in the hope others will convert. Yet plenty of people figure out how to work without it.
