“While you can think in terms of efficiency in dealing with time, a principle-centered person thinks in terms of effectiveness in dealing with people.”
~ Stephen R. Covey from “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”
How do you treat people?
Are you looking to be “efficient” with them?
Um.
Time for a new intention.
As per Covey, leave efficiencies for dealing with time.
Interacting with people? Think about how you can be effective. There are times, as he advises, “when principle-centered Quadrant II living requires the subordination of schedules to people.”
In short: Be cool.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.
