Time Blindness Compensation
Time blindness compensation relies on visible timers, padded transitions, and calendar buffers because internal duration sense fails under stress and ADHD.
Time blindness compensation uses external time—visible analog clocks, countdown timers, calendar buffers, and travel alarms—because internal duration sense is unreliable under ADHD and stress. Pad transitions by fifty percent of your guess; never stack back-to-back commitments without a hard stop alarm.
Review estimates weekly against actuals to train calibration slowly.
Common questions
-
How much buffer should you add for time blindness?
Start by adding half again to your honest estimate—thirty minutes becomes forty-five. Track actual finish times for two weeks, then adjust buffers from data not guilt.
