But literally, if your brain is not able to estimate the amount of time that it takes to do things, how on earth can you be on time?

Right.

If you are just colorblind to that, that's why we call it time blindness.

It's going to be incredibly hard.

for you to ever be on time to anything.

The challenge is that our bosses, our spouses and other neurotypical people do not understand this deficit and our society is not built to correct for this deficit.

So in today's video, what we're gonna do is we're gonna give you something of a power adapter, right?

So this is kind of what I've realized when I work with people with ADHD.

It's not that they're busted.

It's that all of the sockets are like U.S.

sockets that have this three-pin plug, and everyone with ADHD has an EU socket.

So they have a socket that they'll try to jam into the wall, but it doesn't fit.

And all we need to do is figure out the right adapter, right?

So if I can create this international travel adapter, then you can plug your socket in, and you can plug into the rest of society in a functional way.

So that's going to be our goal today, okay?

Now, the first thing that we have to do before we get into how to solve this problem of time blindness is we have to understand how time is perceived in our brain and what the deficits actually are.

And once we understand the root of the deficit, we can solve the root of the deficit over here and the symptoms will naturally improve on their own.

The moment that your brain is able to estimate time better, your capacity to be on time, your chronic lateness, your procrastination, your ability to plan...

All of those things will naturally improve with very little effort because now your brain is able to actually use those time estimates.

OK, so we're going to have to get a little bit technical here and we're going to have to understand, first of all, how our brain actually perceives and processes time.
