Conscientiousness just represents the will to do a good and thorough job. So, I'd say it covers this behavior. Her following social norms to a T would be conformity.

Time preference just represents someone's will/ability to formulate and act upon plans that require a long time investment. Eg, if I save $200 a month I can get that thing I want in 3 years. That is a solid simplistic example of something a high time preference individual will do that a low time preference individual can't conceive of.
