My wife knows it very well because she sees in me that I am the most anxious. I'm the most worried when I'm running late for something, because for me, when you agree to meet someone or go somewhere for a certain time, it's like a promise that you've made. Jaz’s Introduction:So in my values, not breaking that promise and being punctual is actually really important. Now, interesting thing that I think maybe Jordan Peterson said, or I read somewhere, was that this isn't like a blanket rule. Like, even with me, if I'm running late, I'm not happy. However, there are some things that I value more than other things. So, for example, going to a party. Like, if I'm late to a party, I'm chill. I'm okay. Because parties aren't my highest values. Not anymore, they used to be, but that was a long time ago, right? So they're not my highest value. So if I have to do a few tasks or quick do a few emails before I have to go to a party, for example, and I end up running late for that party, it's okay with me. That can sit okay with me. But if I've agreed to meet a friend at a cafe or some friends at restaurants, then you bet I'll be there on time, maybe even early. Because I value those kinds of encounters and those relationships. Now bringing about dentistry, a long time ago I made an episode called Six Signs That You're A Comprehensive Dentist. And one of the signs was that you're running late a lot because you're trying to give your patient a lot of value. And you talk to them, and you nurture them and you answer all their questions and give them that little bit extra of yourself. And if that sometimes means you're a few minutes late. I think that's worth it. But I have got to terms that in operative dentistry, we can sometimes run late and it's okay. You've got to accept that sometimes you underestimate the situation, especially when we have less experience. For example, that caries cavity, which was way bigger than you anticipated, or that extraction where you didn't actually notice that that mesial root had a bit of a curve on it. So these little things, sometimes we underestimate it. Sometimes what happens is that the air abrasion sand needs changing, and the water needs changing at the same time, and your ID block didn't work,
