I don't think anyone is attacking anyone. This is a good and helpful thread. I do believe that a lot of people are very, very poor at time management skills - but many people also don't make it a priority to take control of their time; they continue to abuse others by being neglectful or chronically late. Bottom line is that it is terribly disrespectful to friends and family when someone takes weeks (or months) to answer emails, or is late to every get-together. The message is: You really are not important enough to me for me to work at making a change.

I am currently estranged from my sister because of a lifetime of her disrespecting my time. I finally had enough of it. I finally called her out on it. Waiting a month to get an answer to an email, waiting 1 1/2 hours at a restaurant for her to show up (with a bunch of lame excuses about why she's late AGAIN)...no. People like that are toxic and cruel.
