ADHD &...with Jorie Houlihan

ADHD & Time Blindness (and How to Spot It)


Listen Later

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll just do this for 10 minutes,” and suddenly hours disappear, this episode is for you.

In ADHD &… with Jorie Houlihan, we’re unpacking what time blindness really is — a neurological difference that changes how ADHD brains perceive and track time. You’ll learn why ADHD often feels like living in “now” or “not now,” how hyperfocus warps your sense of time, and simple ways to make time visible again.

From analog clocks to practical cues that support your focus, this episode helps you replace guilt with curiosity and work with your brain, not against it.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • What “time blindness” actually means in the context of ADHD
  • Why ADHD brains struggle with estimating and tracking time
  • How hyperfocus causes time to disappear (and how to spot it)
  • The power of analog clocks and visual timers for ADHD minds
  • How to replace guilt and self-criticism with curiosity and strategy
