I picked this up from one of my corporate training mentors (specifically - Mr Shahrill AJ). In my training sessions, whenever I announce for a break (whether tea-breaks or lunch breaks), I would intentionally state the returning time to be an exact timing; eg 1.51pm, or 3.23pm. Even in arranging meetings with clients or friends, i would do the same. Some people finds it to be too exact and, probably peculiar to some! But the psychological reason behind it is that the human minds process it as sounding exact; therefore it will register it almost permanent; which leads to easy to remember by people. As a result, almost 100% of the time I would get on-time attendance. So, the next time you are making an appointment with frequent latecomers, give this approach a go. And do share your experience. :) ... And if that friend of yours is still frequently late, its not your fault - your friend actually needs to break that habit and learn on how to do time management and, importantly, prioritise things.
