There's literally no way of knowing.
And so if you think about it, imagine like there's an alien that has no concept of time.
How would they plan their day?
It becomes impossible.
So then the strategy in ADHD becomes wait till shit is falling apart and then just start doing it until it's done.
And that's what we do.
Just start and keep doing it until we're finished.
And then we get back full circle to like why we end up with so many things that we can't chip away at.
It's because we have to do everything all at once because that's the only way we know how to do it.
Because until we do it, until it's done, then it's going to keep being there.
And we don't know how long it'll take.
So I might as well keep doing it.
Got to do it at some point.
So might as well do it now.
Might as well do it until it's done.
And it's all because our brain has no biological clock.
So it's crazy.
This is what the problem with ADHD is like.
The brain is supposed to have certain features that are like required to do things like plan.
But how are you supposed to plan when you have no measurement of time?
