How about something that causes mild (but persistent) irritation of some kind when they ignore deadlines?  In one job, a team of managers had to submit a monthly report to my boss who summarised into a report for his boss.  Reports due to my boss by 3rd working day of the month - theoretically.  Around the tenth working day, bossie would run in panicking that no-one had submitted their reports and he was in trouble with his boss.  I'd done my best - spoken to them all, sent them "memory jogging" e-mails, but all to no avail.  Result: four disgruntled managers all vying to dictate their reports (usually leaving it until ten to five before they started work, but expecting me to do stuff that night all the same).

So .... set date in gizmo for deadline.  Once deadline is passed, the culprit gets the treatment .... Perhaps gizmo needs an "intensity" dial for repeat offenders?
