E276: The Real Reason You're Always Running Late


Listen Later

Are you running late before you even start getting ready? That's time blindness at work, mama. And wow, does it make everyday life harder!

In this episode, I'm sharing the real talk from conversations with two different coaching clients this week about how ADHD brains process time—and why "it's time to go" means something totally different for us than it does for people who are naturally on time. Walking out the door isn't one task; it's a whole project. From shoes and water bottles to wrangling kids and finding the missing lunchbox, no wonder we're always scrambling.

Here's the shift: it's not about fixing yourself or forcing your brain to work like everyone else's. It's about figuring out how your ADHD brain actually works and using that knowledge as the key to the puzzle. Once you see the pattern, you can set up systems that work with your brain, not against it.

I'll walk you through how to break down "leaving the house" into actual steps, estimate how long it really takes, and give yourself the buffer time you need. This isn't about rushing or becoming a morning person – it's about giving yourself space to breathe and creating a rhythm that makes sense for you.
