ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you've ever told someone "I'll be there in 10 minutes" and showed up 45 minutes later - fully believing you had plenty of time - this episode is for you. Time blindness isn't a character flaw, it's neurology. And once you understand what's actually happening in your brain, everything changes.
In this episode, you will learn about:
- Why ADHD brains experience time in only two categories: "now" and "not now" — and how that one concept explains so much
- How dopamine drives the overcommitment cycle and keeps you saying yes when your plate is already full
- Why trying to manage time like a neurotypical person is exhausting (and why that's not the goal)
- Four practical strategies you can start using this week to make time more visible and manageable
- How acceptance - real acceptance - is actually the foundation for building systems that work
- Why your future self can't be your only accountability system and what to do instead
