1) I plan ahead. If I know it has to be there by Friday, I do
something about sending it no later than Tuesday. If it's big, I try to
get it sent off at least a week in advance. It gets there when it needs to.
2) Leisurely travel is nice.
3) Leisurely meals with good company are *very* nice. I'm the sort
that will be the last one kicked out of the restaurant if I'm in a
situation where I can get away with it, and at least one other person is
willing to stay until a minute before I get kicked out. :)
