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.

What has always worked for me and plan ahead the time you need to get ready/commute. For me it takes 30 minutes to get ready and 30 minutes to commute so I have to get ready 1 hour before I need to be somewhere. This only works if you are honest with yourself. So if that’s an issue, than you have bigger problems than punctuality.
