Time Urgency
I found a copy of Natural Health magazine at the post office. It was in the donation pile, so I took it home to peruse. Finally, a magazine that didn’t make me feel like a freak for not wearing a watch! On the other hand, I failed the test below on time urgency:
Does time urgency impatience threaten your health?
Take this super-quick test to find out.
1. Do you often get very upset if you are forced to wait for something? Y/N
2. Do you usually feel pressured about time? Y/N
3. Do you feel you don’t have enough time at the end of the workday? Y/N
4. Do you feel you don’t have enough time during the day? Y/N
The more “yes” answers you have, the greater your TUI score and the higher your risk of developing hypertension.
Four “yes” answers = severe TUI
Three “yes” answers = moderate TUI
Two “yes” answers = mild TUI
One “yes” answer = low TUI Adapted from the questionnaire used by Lijing L. Yan, Ph.D., M.P.H., in the CARDIA study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Read the complete article here. And I’ll post more on time urgency later (when I’m not in a hurry…ha, ha).
