Be on time with the Procrastinator’s Clock
You know you’ve all tried setting your clock forward a few minutes in hopes getting yourself out the door on time. You also know that this never works, because you just subtract the time instead of actually leaving early. Instead of getting places earlier, you just end up improving your math skills. David Seah created a clock for the perpetually late. The Procrastinator’s Clock runs up to fifteen minutes fast, however, it speeds up and slows down so it is not always exactly fifteen minutes fast. Try using the Procrastinator’s Clock, I bet you actually get places on time because you won’t be able to subtract the time difference. Let us know how it goes.
Update: Do to popular demand, David Seah released stand-alone versions of the Procrastinator’s Clock. There is a PC version and a Mac version and the new Procrastinator’s Clock addresses some of the issues addressed in the lifehack.org comments.

That would be great except for…uh…bottom right of the screen there…yeah…that clock…that’s always there.
Neat idea though.

@Zwergner: Good point, you could always disable the clock or set the task bar to auto hide.

If only there were some way to replace the windows clock with this!

I don’t think this would work for me at all. As well as being a procrastinator, I am an optimist, so I would still be doing the subtracting 15 minutes thing - and most of the time end up thinking it was even earlier that it really was.

Subtract 16 minutes and at worse you’ll be early by a minute.
