Bro are you actually able to plan and make routines? Because I definitely tried this multiple times only to fail repeatedly until I got meds.

I guess everyone’s ADHD is different, so maybe this works for you and will work for OP, but this kind of advice never worked for me no matter how many times or how hard I tried.

Before I had a kid yeah, I had a two-hour morning routine and a one-hour one depending on when I needed to leave the house. I had the recurring events in a week planned out and time alotted by chores/uni etc. I had a going to bed routine although that one never quite worked as I had hoped.

Having a kid all of it flew out the window of course but eventually Im hoping to get back there. Notably this was achieved with the help of a behavioral therapist. Hence me saying it needs another trusted person.

Edit: also it was a lot of practice, failing, switching things around, it definitely wasn't as straightforward as planning, practicing, perfecting, next one.
