Time Blindness in ADHD: The Brain’s Broken Clock System

Описание: Why does a "5-minute task" take 3 hours? Why does the future feel like it doesn't exist until it’s panicking right in front of your face?
If you have ADHD, you aren't "bad at time management"—you might be dealing with Time Blindness.

In this episode, Daria (D) and her internal saboteur, Grem, break down the neuroscience behind why the ADHD brain struggles to track time. We aren’t just looking for excuses; we are looking for the biological reasons why our internal clock is broken—and how to fix it without hating yourself.
In this video, we cover: 🧠 The Science: How the Prefrontal Cortex and Cerebellum disconnect causes "Time Blindness." ⏳ The Trap: Why we only have two time zones: "NOW" and "NOT NOW." 🛑 The Paralysis: Understanding the dreaded "Waiting Mode" before appointments. 🛠️ The Toolkit: 3 specific strategies to externalize time and stop being late.
