A result from the quiz Which Executive Function Needs Backup?
Needs Backup: Time
Time slips away, and estimates come out short.
Your answers point to time, and how hard it can be to feel it passing (sometimes called time blindness). Tasks overrun, journeys take longer and deadlines arrive suddenly.
Making time visible helps more than trying harder to feel it.
Things to try
- Use a timer you can see, not one hidden in your phone.
- Time three everyday jobs this week to learn how long they really take.
- Add a buffer to every plan.
