Just say, "well I hate to be rude but I think we're gonna have to get together another time I have some personal errands to run or I have to get some sleep". Tell them you'll call them tomorrow as you stand up & start walking to the door. Or you could scream there's money falling from the sky & slam the door behind them & lock it as they run out. heehee...best of luck to you!

"Punctuality is the politeness of kings."  Attributed to Louis XVIII\n\nIt is, quite simply, rude, discourteous and disrespectful to be late without good reason.  In these days of cellphones, we can always communicate if we are to be a little late.\n\nOn the other hand, if one is habitually late, it shows one is lazy, disrespectful towards the other person, and a slob!\n\nI thought I must mention this, re an incident the other day - waiting for someone who never bothers to turn up at all is probably one of the worst breaches of good manners and civilized behaviour I can think of!  Especially when the culprit behaves afterwards as if it is a perfectly acceptable way to behave...  In my book, they are instantly dropped!

If you want it bad enough, you will find the time. It would also help if you described what your typical day is like now. You just say you are "busy", but what are you busy doing?

*laf*  Are you being punished by someone, for constantly being late?    If so, and they are in some position of authority (or you need to please them), then to their face be apologetic and contrite.\n\nE.g., "Punctuality is a courtesy to other people.  By agreeing to meet at a certain time, we have a responsibility to show up at that time.  This includes planning ahead for likely delays.  It is rude to be late, especially if it happens more than once.  Planning ahead is good etiquette.  You can arrive early and bring a book to occupy your time."\n\nTo yourself, you can note this:  "Cultures vary in their adhesion to punctuality.  Teutonic (Germanic) and Japanese cultures emphasize punctuality.  Latino and African cultures are more flexible in their notions of scheduling.  My mother told me:  'You were born late, and I hope you die late'! :-)  "
