I had a conflict with work and needed to leave by 1PM to get home by 2, so I could be at the thing 10 minutes from my house at 2:30…
By the time I sat down at my desk, my brain wouldn’t let go of the fact that I needed to leave soon, so I shouldn’t get involved in anything that will take too long.
Also my brain: things that take too long means anything that will take more than 20 minutes.
… It’s 9AM. I have FOUR HOURS before I need to leave, but if a task will take a half hour, well, screw it, I gotta go soon 🤪 better put it off until tomorrow! 🤡
This is EXACTLY how my brain operates.
So true, I struggle with this a lot. I try to never plan anything around 11 am, because of this. At 9 am it feels like it’s 10:30 which means I am almost too late so I get paralyzed
Nah too much pressure. Just call it off. We’d do it the other day whatever it is.
All the while, you have enough self-awareness to scream “WHY AM I LIKE THIS?!”
Hmm I feel this way sometimes but never considered having ADHD. Are there mild versions of ADHD?
My psychiatrist booked me after 7PM on a Sunday 🙃
