Dissertation planning as a disabled student?

i get started on my dissertation in the new semester, but as a student with ADHD i often find it hard to keep myself organised and accountable. anyone have any suggestions?
should be noted that i try to do callendars and planners, but theyre extremely hard for me to reliably update

My son was in the same position and he did ok with planning and support
I assume uni is aware
Do you get dsa?
Have you asked for/been offered mind mapping software?

the uni is aware, i do get dsa (though my study support recently fell through since my uni changed from providing internal support to a supplier we have to contact ourselves, and after contacting them they just never replied to me) and i do get mindmapping programs (inspiration specifically) but i tejd to find that mainly helps with organising my thoughts over creating a schedule if that makes sense?
