After a certain amount of experience in life, it's so easy to know how long it takes you to shower, get ready, drive a certain distance, whatever, and plan accordingly. That's why I am always pretty pissed when someone is late regularly without a reason that's out of their hands. It reeks of "Well, I am important, I have many things to do, it's okay for you to wait".
Just start whatever's on your schedule earlier and keep an eye on a clock while you're at it! (I am speaking generally here, not addressing anyone or giving tips)

I can tell you that much - it is not rooted in arrogance or anything like that. I've been late to work basically every day for 3 years. It is something very hard to control. I've gone through various degrees of despair. It feels pretty helpless.
So it's mostly work? Not just wherever you have to be?
I dunno, for someone like me who has a hard time NOT being there too early, it's kinda hard to understand
Is it waking and getting up that's so hard that you lose a lot of time or what?
Like Sareitha said, it IS in your control!

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Any other chronically late people? Let's form a support group.

Hm. I have always been chronically 5-10 minutes late but my situation was similar. *edit*

You average getting to work more than an hour late?

I do agree with this. I have problems with tardiness, but on the scale of 5 minutes.
