A fixation on being faster and more efficient has taken over many people's lives, pushing them to be impatient while eating, driving, and even watching TV. Here's a potential cure.

gurus often refer to the 86,400 seconds, the 1,440 minutes, or the 24 hours we all get in a day. To make better use of that time allotment, they suggest we multi-task, or perhaps get up earlier. This desire to do more, get more, and be more leads a lot of us to become “time impatient.” This happens when the little delays in life become so unbearable that we try to shortcut them.

Do you interrupt the slow talkers, long-winded speechmakers, and the pontificators in your life, trying to get your point across as they wander through their thoughts? Do you push elevator or crosswalk buttons repeatedly, even if someone has already done it as you are arriving? Are you one of those people who stands up before the plane has parked at the gate, the subway or bus stops moving, trying to wedge your way toward the exit door before everyone else?

If this sounds like you, then the question you have to ask is, “Why? Do I really gain that much more time in my day and life if I try these attempts to shorten the time between activities?”or relieve my stress?” Paradoxically, what we try to do to speed along our lives usually makes things a bit worse. Plus, these attempts to speed time often bother other people who are having their own struggles and don’t need you to try to bend the time-space continuum.
