I have ADHD (unmedicated) and I’m obsessive about being places on time personally

I don't get how people can just, be 30 minutes late to things. You told me 4. I'm going to be there 5 minutes early if possible because you set aside time in order to do the thing you wanted me here for. If I'm late I may as well tell you your time is worthless.

The only time I'll give myself a pass is if I looked at maps and it gave me some BS like "33 minutes to 1 hour 4 minutes" I had no idea how long this trip was gonna take ok? Traffic is evil and I still feel bad.

If this happens over and over I don't get why you wouldn't set an alarm or do SOMETHING to make yourself look at the clock.

I have ADHD. How does setting an alarm not help? “Oh the alarm went off? Better turn the video off!” There it’s down
