How to stop being late

I know. It sounds ridiculous. I’m actually seriously embarrassed by this. I am medicated and have noticed SIGNIFICANT improvements on the majority of what I suffer from with my ADHD and Major depressive disorder.

My husband also has ADHD, and I would say his struggle is about twice as intense as mine. He’s doing much better now than years ago but it’s still impactful. We’re both working hard to manage our lives and our relationship with this mentality.

The one crucial aspect of my life I can’t seem to pull together is my time management. I often bounce between hyper focusing on tasks or starting a bunch of tasks instead of completing them. Then suddenly it’s 10 minutes before I have to leave for an appointment or work and I am scrambling to the point of tears heading out the door.

It’s caused so much anxiety, and stress, and tears. I’m never more than 5-10 minutes late to work when I am late, and on other days where I have it together aka “anxiety induced panic and mania” I’m 20-30 min early. Can I have a happy medium here? What do I do?!
