In Tehran, traffic is a major factor in creating a 'barname-ye feshorde'. People often group all their errands in one district to avoid crossing the city twice. During the weeks leading up to the 'Konkur' (National University Entrance Exam), students live by extremely 'feshorde' schedules, often detailed down to 15-minute increments. Using this phrase in a business meeting shows that you value your time and are a serious professional. It is a common way to signal that a meeting needs to stay on track. If you are a guest in an Iranian home and need to leave early, blaming a 'barname-ye feshorde' for the next day is a socially acceptable way to depart without offending the host.
