Ok, I am going to take this from a different perspective. Since this was in the teaching section, I am assuming that you want the students to arrive on time. In my classroom, I teach the students that they have a job to do, just like I do. If I don't do my job, I don't get paid. Therefore, they too have a job and if they don't do their job, they don't get paid. Part of doing your job is getting to work/school on time. I pay them with tickets and they get to buy things at an auction. I hardly have any late students.

You first of all have to be committed to being prompt. Are you aware of the advantages of not being late? Do you know that arriving on time is a sign of respect - for yourself as well as others?
Once you're convinced you want to be on time, don't rely on the old trick of setting your clocks ahead. Get real, instead. "Backwards map" your activities before getting to the place. For example, how much time will you need to actually prepare yourself to leave the house, deal with unexpected delays such as phone calls or heavy traffic, travelling to the place. Then add 15 - 30 minutes more and do the mathematics.
Planning pays off.

I prepare my lunch, set out my clothes and make sure everything I need for the next day is ready, so all I have to do is eat breakfast, grab my bag and dash. Something always happens on my route to work, such as bumping into friends or missing the bus, so I try and leave at least 20 min. early to allow for these little mishaps. Even leaving 20 minutes early, I am still rushed and make it just in time as the clock reaches that golden hour. Being late is a habit, but so is being on time.
Being on the computer when you have to be at work in 30 min. never helps.

Set your clocks and watch ahead 15 to 30 minutes. Then, as you get ready for the event you desire to arrive on time for, you have a cushion of time.

always leave yourself some leeway for unexpected things such as accidents or traffic jams. Depending on the distance to travel leave 15-30 minutes before the appointment. Better to be early than late.

Setting your alarm clock, 10 minutes earlier, getting all things needed ready beforehand, files, clean and ironed clothes, clean,polished shoes,etc. start half hour earlier, in case of traffic jam, missing bus, or punctured tyre, etc.
