Last Minute is On Time

There is a virtue in being early. It helps us feel like we're on top of things. It shows others that yes, we're in control of our lives and not going to run the risk of running late.

However, when there's a deadline, there's a deadline for a reason. It's a line that delineates late versus not. Anything done "last minute" is still on the "on time" side of that line.

In a duality of “late” or “on time,” last minute is really no different than early.

It all depends on what your own personal objective is. For some of us in some circumstances, last minute is just fine.
