As the title says. I always really struggle to be on time (last year I missed around 30% of school😅). I did try some of the popular advice and sometimes it worked, but never for longer than 2 days. Since then I've also found out that it's very likely that I have adhd. Well school is starting soon and I really need to get this under control.

Similar to many others on here, I'm terrible at time estimation, so I have to literally track backwards from the time I need to be there with things I need to do along the way, so:

Need to be there at 8am Driving takes 30mins (730) Shower 15mins (715) Tidy up and get my travel drink 20mins (0655) etc.

Then I also usually add 15mins to get lost or find parking. (0640)

Then I know what time to get up etc.

(Then I usually panic that I need more buffer and add another 30mins and get up at 0610!)

Oh.. And the calendar thing. If its not in the calendar, it doesn't happen...
