So while I'm playing with my albums in the back here, I'm like, oh yeah, I did this for a reason.
So time blindness is a lot about those component parts.
On the neurological side,
Time blindness is associated with challenges in the prefrontal cortex.
That's the part of the brain that works on organizing, planning, and tracking day-to-day activity, or what we call purposeful behavior.
And that means we've got a timekeeper in there who maybe isn't always doing the most natural job in helping ADHD brains do things on the clock.
So that's really what we talk about here.
The executive manager in the brain isn't really operating in a way that is ideal for the environment.
Maybe great for us when we work for someone who wants us to dive deep and spend four hours instead of two, but maybe not so great when you're trying to get on a plane and you realize, oh gosh, I'm off schedule and I may not make it.
And I think for so many folks, navigating on time arrival to the airport can be a little bit more complex than they think.
If you live in a busy area, or like you were saying, you've got multiple forms of transportation to track, you really have to be thinking about building buffers into each of those waves of your travel.
And the idea is that for planning for traffic or parking, all those things may not be top of mind, particularly when you're excited to take your trip, but is really important for being well-prepared.
And I think you are an exaggerated version of what it's like to be successful as a traveler because you've built this all in.
And other people really need to learn how to do that to navigate and be successful travelers with ADHD.
Oh, absolutely.
You know, I think that so much of what happens to us in adulthood with ADHD is we forget about the strategies that might have helped us as kids.
You know, if you're trying to motivate a child to get something done within a time frame, sometimes you may need to incentivize the activity.
So doing that for ourselves is completely okay.
So something like, you know what, I'm going to get there on time and I'm going to go pick out that really trashy magazine I want to read on the plane.
Or I'm going to go get that really special coffee so I can sit there and just feel really warm and chilled and relaxed.
