🧠 ADHD Time & Task Lab

Time blindness is not laziness, it is a broken odometer: the guess is wrong in a consistent direction, so it can be measured and corrected. Log a few estimate-vs-actual pairs and this learns your own multiplier, converts “it will only take ten minutes” into what it will really take, builds a ladder out of the stuck place, and runs a body-double timer. Nothing leaves your browser.

1 · Calibrate your time blindness

What it was

Kind of task

You guessed (min)

It really took (min)

2 · Translate “it’ll only take a minute”

Your guess (min)

Time you actually have (min)

Out of the door at

Getting ready “takes” (min)

3 · Ladder out of the stuck place The thing you keep not starting

4 · Body-double timer

Say out loud what you are about to do before you press start — out loud beats in your head. A body double does not help, supervise or talk to you. They just sit there, and that is the whole trick.

This is a mirror, not a diagnosis. If waiting, starting, switching or finishing is costing you work, relationships or sleep, that is worth raising with a GP — the assessment is boring and the difference it makes is not.
