What is Time Blindness? and What Actually Helps

Ever looked up and realized two hours disappeared, or dreaded a task for a week and then finished it in five minutes? In this episode, I'm breaking down time blindness, what it actually is, why it happens, and the tools that make the biggest difference.

I'm walking through why time can feel like just “now” and “not now,” what's actually happening with executive function underneath it, and six tools I use most with clients, including one of my favorites involving a stopwatch and a dishwasher.

In this episode:

• What time blindness actually is, and why it shows up as both chronic lateness and chronic earliness
• Why it happens: executive function, task initiation, dread, and hyperfocus all playing a part
• Six tools that help, including timing everyday tasks, visual timers, layered alarms, buffer time, working backward from a deadline, and body doubling
• Why the fix isn't trying harder, it's moving the clock outside your head
