worth very much, it's okay to waste hours and hours and hours.

So this too, if you find yourself wasting a lot of time, chances are that if you've got ADHD, your ability to estimate time is off and then you are valuing your time at such a low level that it becomes affordable to waste it.

And this creates a vicious cycle where we end up wasting a lot of time.

We don't get a lot of work done.

And therefore, how much is our time worth?

Not very much.

OK, so now we're going to dig a little bit deeper.

What is it that actually makes it so that our brain cannot accurately estimate the amount of time it takes?

So there is a problem in something called retrospective time perception.

OK, now this is fascinating to understand.

So when a human being.

Starts a task.

We have a estimation of how long it's going to take to finish the task, right?

So I think like, okay, I have to do homework.

It's going to take me an hour.

Now, once I do the homework, let's say I reach this point.

There is a separate function of our brain that looks back and says, okay, how long did this time take?

I mean, how long did this task take, right?

So there is a retrospective, i.e.

looking back, perception of time.
