Understanding Time Blindness

Time blindness is a common issue for individuals with ADHD, wherein they struggle to experience the passage of time. This can result in being consistently late, underestimating how long tasks will take, and inefficiently prioritizing work. However, it's important to note that time blindness is not exclusive to those with ADHD, as even individuals without ADHD can struggle with time management. Developing a better relationship with time requires strategies such as using timers and alarms to create structure and reminders, avoiding time-wasting activities, setting realistic deadlines and padding them to prevent last-minute panic, and implementing time blocking techniques to allocate specific time slots for tasks and projects.
