If I know long long it takes to get somewhere, I will somehow find myself leaving the house with exactly that amount of time, leaving no space for delays. This is bad. So instead I've started saying "I'm going to leave at this time, which is definitely more time than I need" and then not looking at a clock when I get there so I never find out how much closer I could cut it.
The other strategy is to plan to eat when I get there, before whatever it is starts. I will be motivated to get there with enough time to eat.
Ooh, I like that eat-when-I-get-there strategy. I'll be sharing that one.
