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.

Put everything in your calendar. Use notifications sufficiently far ahead to be useful, and have the ability to snooze alerts.

On Android I use Calendar Notifications for greater flexibility with notifications.

For example, for doctor appointments I set the notification for a day in advance. Then I'll snooze it until I need to leave the next day (with extra time for cleaning up, etc).

I look at my calendar all the time. Keep it open on my laptop, month view, so I'm always seeing what my month looks like, what's coming up.
