Running exactly on time means running late the moment anything goes sideways, and something always does. This is how to build in the room you actually need: why fifteen honest minutes of margin does more than any productivity trick, how chronic lateness is really a planning habit and not a character flaw, and a simple buffer method you can apply to any appointment, errand, or deadline starting today. Calm, direct, and easy to keep.
