Ever feel like time just slips away from you without warning? One minute you’re replying to one email, the next the whole morning has vanished and you’re staring at the clock like it has personally betrayed you. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m talking about what ADHD time blindness actually feels like. The disappearing hours, the shock at the clock, the chaotic Tuesday that summed up my entire personality, and why none of this is about laziness. It’s wiring, not willpower.
✨ What I cover:
• What ADHD time blindness really is and why it isn’t poor time management • Why the brain doesn’t register time passing until it is too late • How one quick task spirals into a full morning • The Tuesday story that explains the entire ADHD timeline • The classic leaving the house scavenger hunt • Working memory and why time information deletes instantly • How dopamine impacts motivation, initiation and duration • Why urgency is the only thing loud enough to cut through • Time paralysis and why wanting to start isn’t enough • Tools that actually help: visible timers, start times, body doubling, playlists
💬 Quotes to remember:
"ADHD time blindness isn’t poor time management. It’s not about responsibility. It’s not about caring."
"My brain is like, we have been productive. The clock is like, it’s 8.45."
"Earlier isn’t a real place for ADHD people."
"Then begins the ADHD scavenger hunt."
"Energy yeah. Anxiety quite high. Intention missing, hope missing, will to live also missing."
"I leave the house looking like a woman who has been chased by wild dogs."
"I will check the time five times in one minute just to retain it for half a second."
"You know exactly what you need to do. You even want to do it. But the body just says no."
🧠 Takeaway: Time blindness isn’t a moral failure. It isn’t a lack of effort. It is a brain that does not track time the way other brains do. Once you understand that, the guilt softens. With the right tools and a bit of self-compassion, your days get easier and the pressure feels lighter.
