Stuff that helps RIGHT NOW
(with some cash + 10-ish min)
ADHDers don't see time.
(and checking the clock won't help)
You look up at 3:42pm.
Meeting is at 4:00pm.
You have 18 minutes.
Brain does the math, files that info somewhere, and then you're back in your email.
Next time you look up, it's 4:08pm. How?
(Good old ) time blindness (we know and love) ðŸ¤
Your brain doesn't register time passing the way other people's do.
Clocks show what time it is - not how much is left.
Visual timers fix this by making time a SHRIKING thing you can SEE.
Get a Time Timer MOD ($35-40 on Amazon)
Or the free "Visual Timer" app on iOS.
Both show time as a red disk that shrinks as minutes pass.
Set it before your next meeting.
Don't calculate how long work will take, just set 25 min and start.
The red disappears whether you're watching or not.
Your peripheral vision catches it even when you're deep in focus.
No math, no good judgement required.
Took me weeks to make a routine and remember to set it.
Missed two meetings in that time.
