77: ADHD Time Blindness: How to Stop Fighting the Clock

Your relationship with time feels broken, and you've probably filed it under ADHD time blindness and left it there. If rushing, scrambling, and never having enough time has started to feel permanent, this episode is for you. I get into why time blindness isn't one problem but two: the ADHD piece and the fight-or-flight piece stacked on top of it, and why that second layer changes more than people realize. I walk through the time scarcity mindset, why ADHD procrastination often starts with feeling like time already ran out, and my time container concept for how to manage time with ADHD without fighting the clock all day. For clinicians working with ADHDers who have been trying to help them time-block or use these external tools to get time under control. I'm hosting a free ADHD Regulation Method training on September 21st, where we'll dive into how to do this work with your clients. 00:00 – Understanding ADHD and Time Blindness 01:20 – How Fight or Flight Distorts Time Perception 03:47 – The Scarcity Mindset Around Time 09:37 – Shifting from Task Lists to Time Containers 18:38 – ADHD Clinician Training and Final Thoughts Related Episode 75: Scarcity Mindset in ADHD: Why Nothing Feels Like Enough Check out the show notes and other resources at https://jennafree.com/blog/adhd-time-blindness-stop-fighting-the-clock Let's stay connected!
