Time-sensitiveness

If you are constantly looking to see whether your success at work or in your personal life measures up, then spending hours sitting around talking seems like frittering away your time.  Americans like to remind themselves, "There's no making up for lost time."  If they feel like they've been sitting around too long, Americans get antsy and want to get up and start doing something.  Even when they're on vacation, Americans was to "live each moment to the max."  As soon as they get to the Grand Canyon, they want to rush right down to the bottom.  It seems as if Americans never really take a break.
