Some time ago I stopped telling people I’d be somewhere at ish-o’clock. 4PM-ish for example. I really appreciate when people tell me they’ll be somewhere at an exact time, and they’re there.
I’ve heard that people are more on-time for a meeting that starts at 4:05 than one at 4:00, and I’ve used that tactic (though I’d pick the less-obviously-sneaky 4:15).

I also like picking sneaky times! I used to be a big fan of starting things a 3:17, or 4:41.
