You’re not careless with time—and you’re not disrespecting other people’s time either.
Your brain may simply not track it accurately.
That’s time blindness, a common feature of ADHD. It affects how you perceive time passing and how you estimate how long tasks will take. Minutes and much longer stretches can feel strangely similar, until suddenly you’re running out of time.
This isn’t a character issue. It’s a difference in how the brain processes time.
Support comes from external structure—timers, alarms, visual cues, and building in buffers so time isn’t left to estimation alone.
Understanding this is the first step to working with your brain, not against it.
