estimate time properly right so that's what if i ask you how long will it take you to do your homework you'll be like i have no way of knowing that is not a problem of procrastination or deficit of attention or things like that that is literally if i ask a neurotypical person how long will it take you to do a task x their brain is processing a bunch of information that allows them to produce an estimate oh you need this paper written i can get it done in a week

Whereas if our brain lacks the capacity to estimate time, then how on earth are we supposed to plan, right?

So if I have no idea whether this piece of homework will take 30 minutes or three days, how am I supposed to make a plan for the week?

How am I supposed to make a plan for a semester?

How am I supposed to plan for a vacation if I have no idea how long things will take?

And this may be easier than it seems.

if it was impossible for you to estimate the amount of time that actions would take.

Go to your neurotypical friends and ask them, like, okay, how are you supposed to plan a party if you have no way of estimating how much time a task will actually take to complete?

So this is a really prime example of a deficit in ADHD, which is the estimation of time, which then cascades out into the symptoms that we frequently see with ADHD.

So we'll see a lot of like symptomatic problems like procrastination.

We'll see problems with planning like we've already talked about.
