  2. You are welcome.
    I have stumbled on that word, too!
    I couldn't find the meaning in any dictionary.However, guessing from these meanings...

    Poly-; many,a number of
    Mono-; one, single
    chronic; continuing, long-lasting, unending

    Polychronically; changing constantly, having many choices at all time

    Monochronically; keep one choice or decision, never change

    I am not sure about the meanings above, but I think so. And, I think the best way to solve is ask to our teacher.lol

  3. This website is useful to know "polychronical" and "monochronical."
    And some other cultural differences compared on there.
