Hi πŸ‘‹ ! My Name is Alice, I created The Mini ADHD Coach in August 2020 when I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 29.
After years of questioning, therapy, burnout, and chaotic career path changes, I finally understood why I struggled with so many things.
So I decided to share what I learned to raise awareness around ADHD and help the ADHD community thrive.

Time blindness, a cognitive difficulty in perceiving and managing time, is commonly associated with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Individuals with ADHD experiencing this may lose track of time or struggle to prioritize their actions based on time constraints. This issue is not merely forgetfulness; it's a distinct challenge due to how the ADHD brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex, handles time perception.

ADHD individuals often grapple with "temporal foresight," focusing more on the immediate future than on long-term objectives. Hence, time blindness can be an aspect of ADHD's broader executive function deficits, which can affect people's personal and professional lives.

Managing time blindness requires awareness of one's time perception patterns, achievable through maintaining a log of daily activities. The use of timers, calendars, and alerts can help visualize time. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can assist in structuring time, setting realistic goals, and creating routines, while mindfulness practices can improve self-regulation. External support from therapists or coaches can also offer helpful strategies to manage time blindness.
