The only thing I've found that helps is having a list of things somewhere I can see it. We have a list of tasks next to the fridge on a whiteboard, and it's the only way things get done.
As a side note, I'd suggest looking up ways to improve executive function, as this tends to be the area where this sort of problem falls into. There are tonnes of books out there, as well as ADHD coaches now, which can be pretty helpful.
Depending on what you struggle with, try batching tasks. I used to have a long list of things to remember to do regularly (wash up, clear the bench, put the kids' toys away, etc.), and I would often ignore it because it became annoying. All I did was change it to a plain note that I can look at and see if the task was completed, and eventually those tasks became a habit.
