One of my favorite sayings is people with ADHD have two time settings, “Now” and “Later.” When you come to us with a request, we think it must be done NOW unless you explain otherwise. Then, it gets puts into the “Later” pile, which ranges anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 years.
Holy shit. I need to explain this to my partner tomorrow when she’s up. I’ve been struggling so hard to find the words to explain how my timing mechanism for things she asks me to do works. Thank you!
We’re using a shared calendar with reminders which is really great. Until I dismiss the reminder, putting it in the later pile…
It’s my first time hearing of the term “time blindness” and it fits so well.
