I also got diagnosed late in life (36) and what I have found to work the best has been lists, but for me it has to be smaller lists usually set up to be completed each day and at max one week. I usually use post-it notes that I have on my monitor but I have started to use sticky notes that are built into windows that are on my pc desktop for task that I need to work on first.
As for time management, at the start of a task I will write down how long I think it will take and once I complete the task I will write down how long it actually took. It has allowed me to collect lots of data and now I've become very good at estimating my time.
I also want to let you know that even with these tools I fail at remembering and missing appointments so don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day or week. We all have tough days and if you get down it makes using tools that work harder to use.
Best of luck and please share what works as I always love learning new things.
