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.

Be early. Not being pedantic, I mean literally attempt to be early. For me that generally gets me very close to the set time.

Exactly.

People with ADHD often have a misthinking about time, how long things take, etc.

And people in general don't want to waste time, being early feels like wasting time.

The thing is, something nearly always happens which eats up that "extra" time reserved for being early... So you're not early after all.
