If you’ve ever sat down for just five minutes only to look up and realize three hours have passed (or worse, it’s tomorrow), you already know: time feels like a scam for people with ADHD.
For us, time doesn’t flow in a straight line — it’s either moving way too fast (oops, I blinked and now I’m late) or dragging on forever (why does this meeting feel like it’s never going to end?!).
So in this episode, we’re breaking down:
✔ Why ADHD brains struggle with time perception (Hint: It’s a brain wiring issue, not a personal failing)
✔ The “ADHD Time Warp” and why we either overestimate or underestimate time
✔ How ADHD’s “fast internal clock” makes waiting unbearable but deadlines invisible
✔ Practical ADHD-friendly strategies to see time, manage it better, and stop time-blindness from running your life
