If we can't estimate how long things will take, it becomes impossible to be on time.

So all these things that people think of is like, oh, I have ADHD, therefore I'm lazy.

Like I'm chronically late.

I have difficulty planning things.

I have difficulty getting started.

I have difficulty with motivation.

All of these things kind of fall back to this core problem of time blindness, okay?

And this is where it's like when people sort of figure this out and when they correct this kind of thing, which we'll talk about in just a second,

it changes so much downstream stuff.

I hope that makes sense.

So one of the things that I've learned as a doctor is that like treating the root of the problem is way better than treating the symptom of the problem.

Now, how do we know what's the symptom and what's the root?

Very simple.

The symptom is what you see, right?

So I'll give you all a simple example of this.

So asthma is a medical problem of hyperreactivity of the smooth muscle of our lungs, okay?

So like asthma is a lung problem, right?

That's what we sort of think of.

But the truth of the matter is that asthma isn't a problem in the lungs.

Asthma is a hypersensitivity of our immune system.
