Time blindness

Research has found differences in time perception and estimation in some people with ADHD, though findings vary between studies. 'Time blindness' itself isn't a clinical term — it's a description many people find relatable.

It often shows up as two modes: 'now' and 'not now'. Deadlines don't feel real until they're imminent.

Visible clocks, timers that show time draining away, and planning backwards from a fixed point can help make time tangible.
