I am often late.
I just do things late. At the moment at which I can't procrastinate things any longer. That's when I do what I need to do.
I'm late often for meetings with friends; I start assignments with little time to get everything done; I'm probably going to pack for my India trip last minute.
I'm going to try preparing to get places and get things done a bit earlier than when the absolute deadline is. So if I'm supposed to meet a friend at 5pm. I'll get there at 4:50pm. I think that's a good idea.
