“Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do”
— Jean Paul Sartre
Simplified Meaning:
It's saying that 3:00 is never the perfect time to start something important. Think about trying to start a big project in the middle of the afternoon. It's probably too late to begin because you won’t have enough time to finish before the end of the day. But, it's also too early to finish because the day isn’t over yet. For example, imagine you want to cook a meal for dinner, but you start at 3:00. It’s too early because you’ll finish much before dinner time, and the food could get cold. Similarly, if you’re planning to go for a long run or do a big task, starting at 3:00 might cut into other plans or make you feel rushed. This means you need to choose the right time to start big tasks to make sure you can do them well. Plan your day so you have enough time to focus on what you want to achieve, rather than getting stuck at awkward times.
