If you haven't heard of Lombardi Time, this may interest you.
Vince Lombardi was head coach in the 1960's of the US NFL Green Bay Packers american football team. To this day the Packers have the best all-time record in the NFL, they were organized as a team in 1919. But I digress.
Lombardi time means being 15 minutes early for anything you do. Vince Lombardi considered anyone late to a meeting or practice, if they were not 15 minutes early. His punishment included wind-sprints, locker room cleaning, and other debasing stuff. After awhile people were rarely late. To this day the field clock outside the Packers stadium, Lambeau Field, in Green Bay Wisconsin, is permanently set 15 minutes fast.
I have lived on Lombardi time for many years. Being early is uncommon and well received these days. It takes most of the stress away and gives time to relax and prepare.
We should all live on Lombardi time, dontcha think?
