The only place I consistently arrive early is Church so as to get a seat and to put myself in the proper frame of mind to paticipate in the Mass. If I arrive 5 minutes before a meeting starts, I'm doing pretty well -- I need to work on making it 10 minutes before the meeting starts. Social functions -- usually on time or a few minutes after the appointed start time. My DH would arrive early to everything if I let him.
