Respect

Time-management problems might derive from insufficient respect for the victims of their poor time management.

Most people don’t intentionally disrespect their victims. Usually, they just haven’t written it on their to-do list or don’t check the list often enough. Or they enjoy trying to cram in so much before their appointments that they’re late.

What helps is to put yourself in the victims’ shoes.

From a pragmatic perspective, it may also help to remember that disrespect may take a toll on one’s career and personal life.
