Anyone else chronically late? Anyone managed to overcome this nasty habit?

I don't mind being 5-10 minutes late for things (though prefer to be on time), but running late means I miss the train and have to wait half an hour for the next one. It's been a real detriment to me given my classes at Uni only last an hour. I miss half the class because I'm 2 minutes late for the train!

Waking up earlier doesn't help, I just seem to find more things to do and still end up running late. Setting my clocks ahead by 5 minutes doesn't work- I'm too smart for that and just tell myself "Oh, it's really only , so I have 5 minutes extra".

What to do? I've tried what I can think of, but I've always been late. I grew up with a mum that was always late so I just don't know how to be punctual!

Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
