Many adults with ADHD describe time as slippery — always running out, disappearing, or expanding unexpectedly.
This isn’t carelessness; it’s a neurological difference known as time blindness.
The ADHD brain processes time through emotion and urgency rather than minutes and hours.
Coaching helps translate that abstract sense of time into practical cues: visual timers, external reminders, and future-self check-ins.
When you stop seeing time management as a moral issue and start treating it as a skill that can be supported, self-criticism eases. The result? More compassion, better planning, and fewer last-minute scrambles.
