For most of my career I’ve either worked for companies, personally delivered or helped build products and solutions that have time sensitive elements in their offering.
If timing is out:
Your favourite foods may not have been on the supermarket shelves.
Factories may have stopped production.
✈️ You may have missed your flight.
Your car insurance may not have renewed.
⚕️You may not get a doctor’s appointment (ok, not my fault at all!)
Time is a critical factor in product and the service wrapper around it and the effort to ensure any time related activities are optimised is always well spent.
It amuses me that I still get emails 5+ months after applying for jobs to say “sorry this job is now closed”!
