I am one of those people who is frequently late, In fact the frequency has turned in to a habit, I definitely like most people don't plan on being late but I eventually show up 5, 10 mins late everyday, no matter how hard I try to be on time.
This very detailed psychology article has given a solution to my problem. I could have just posted a link but it seemed very long and complicated so I thought I could simplify it.
According to the article (which I definitely agree with), people turn up late because they try to be there on time.
Yep they don't wanna be there early, may be because they think it's a waste of time or because they think they are being judged, or because they think the situation is not pleasant and they they don't want to be there unless they have to be there, and then external factors come in to play and they get delayed, if you're like me disorderly you will run to find your glasses or your shoe or your tie right in the last minute and end up being late.
The solution to the problem is to get there early. Find a reason to get there early . May be you could find something to do while you wait, or take pride on being early.
