I used to be chronically late, until I realized that it takes me 10+ minutes to leave the house, and I always was hopelessly optimistic on time estimates.

My wife calls it "Warot Time", and usually multiples my worst case estimate by 3. ;-)

It's a good thing I'm pseudo-retired

Haha, I do think pseudo-retired adds some level of 'getting a pass' on this, culturally.

I do think (at least for my wife) it's the estimate of time required to get to The Thing at a Specific Time that is inaccurate or overly optimistic, like all the time.
