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.
