how do I stop being late?

hi! i’m 22F, diagnosed with ADHD at 19. I haven’t had extensive neuropsych testing done but my doctors decided to treat me for ADHD starting at 19 due to me almost failing out of college + multiple of my family members are diagnosed with adhd and/or autism. I am ALWAYS late. My time blindness is probably my most debilitating ADHD symptom. I am medicated (20mg vyvanse), I set multiple alarms, I wear a watch so I can always check the time, I keep my gcal updated, etc. But im still always late. I don’t know what else to do. I don’t wake up in the mornings (I shut off my alarms in my sleep). Even if i start getting ready multiple hours before I need to be ready, i still get distracted by something that ends up eating up all of the extra buffer time I gave myself. I don’t know what else to do. It’s ruining my relationship with my family because they think I’m just lazy and don’t care
