I really like that the D in ADHD stands for Disorder, and not Disability. Precisely because our time blindness is basically a cursed superpower.

4:07 but them im just waiting for the alarm

Wait, so if people tend to lose the sense of time in a Casino, does that mean, that people working there can lose their sense of time as well? So their work just passes by? Is this an infinite money glitch powered by gambling addicts??

oh, something I learned to do after finding out there's a name for the time blindness I've always had: lean into it. Long road trips, long shifts, etc. are great now because I know I can't grasp how long it is and any worry about it is just my anxiety making up stuff and afterward, it wasn't "that long." During, I get to focus on enjoying the "now" instead of how much time has passed and how much more there supposedly is.

Something I want to try that I saw recently: linear clocks. I understand the visual of running out of time in a day better than numbers on a clock. Also, I think the only reason I can plan and prioritize as well as I do is because I can visualize the future and know what I'll need to accomplish something and go backward. However, how long each step takes is a blank so I just assume it takes a whole day (or some other absurd amount of time) just to be safe. If I couldn't visualize it (like those out there with aphantasia), I don't know what I'd do.

Informative video. Finally, something useful on TH-cam about ADHD. There is a lot of junk out there. Keep up the excellent work. I recommend Dr. Barkley's TH-cam channel.

The irony that I waited for months to watch this video after putting it in my watch later

Man this video ought be in a hall of Fame for the best self help for ADHD. ❤❤ Waiting for more helpful content like this. *I'm actually going to sleep at 4 after this 🤧. My University starts tomorrow after summer.

The algorithm showed me this video tonight and I just wanted to say thank you so much. I really appreciate your your focus on time blindness and its impact to those of us expressing the symptoms of ADHD. The reverse engineering of the casino is brilliant. I am very grateful to you for identifying simple to understand and easy to implement changes to help manage time blindness. I have been on a long journey after several life Impacting events occurred this year. This journey has included the revelation that I have most likely been struggling with ADHD/ time blindness for the majority of my 50+ years. Your video is one of the first that I have found to give very doable non-medication focused solutions to help overcome how neurodivergent people view and interact with their environment around them. 🫶

brilliant stuff, but the last Barkley clip man, whats so funny omg..people right?

You need to speak a bit faster. Good vid, but I couldn't resist that jab. My ADHD is much more pronounced since I am in my 80's. I barely get anything completed. I cannot take Adderall since it keeps me awake.

I have cptsd. I only just found out about 'waiting mode' from a short. This video makes so much sense to me. I'm not exaggerating when I say this video is literally life changing! ❤❤❤

I put clocks up and never look at them .. 😂

“The spoken word will perish. The written word remains.” ~Jesus

The way how fast you’re talking is what is happening in my head always, also thoughts are racing this fast 😂

I loved the video, but you speak so fast, I had to skip back and take notes. Maybe I'm too slow 🐌

lmao when my job gives me a shift from 2-730 or 3-730, yea, i lose my entire day because for that 5.5 hour period i will be occupied in a planned fashion, waiting to leave for that shift. its like infinite preparation

The only help for time blindness is to become pathologically concerned with your watch. I can’t exist without a watch that clearly relays time, date and day of week, and I check it habitually. I get into a holding pattern, trying not to leave the house too early for appointments…I am always early. If it doesn’t concern you enough to wear a watch, there is no helping you.

My ADHD ass trying to watch this video got soooooooo distracted by the visuals of the casinos and couldn't actually process most of the very very fast things you were saying!

The thing that makes digital clocks annoying for me is that my brain is used to working in units of 100, so when I see that the time is 10:15, I think that I have plenty of time in the hour, when in reality, I am a fourth of the way through

Where are you going that only takes 5 mins to get there? great video!

Has anyone found a smartwatch that has an alarm feature that you can set to just buzz a few times to remind you of the hour instead of it requiring you to manually turn it off?

Great video! I have tons of clocks already, it is super helpful!

I love what you do, take all the time in the world. You matter.

I dont think i have adhd but as soon as something in like my favorite game is announced i will just sit days waiting doing basically nothing

I really want to be able to use this information to help me with time blindness. I have ADHD, but i also unfortunately have Dyscalculia so i dont know how to navigate this 😭

That was really good. The casino thing was very helpful

The Pomodoro app was so useful for helping my time blindness

jeese man slow down

So uhhh, anyone else distracted from what he was saying because you wanted to read all the tweets popping up? 😂 I'll give this whole alarm thing a try though, beats sitting on my ass all day because of "the thing" at 3pm lmao

Do me a favor. Put an analog watch on your wrist. Hold up your wrist and glance it for a moment. Now do the same for a digital watch. Which one was easier to read?

I followed your advice, and one year later, I have a collection of 15 g-shock watches... thanks.

Very well done thank you

I arrive to everything two years early.

I’m so glad I found this. No obnoxious free use music playing 24/7 and obnoxiously slow speech. Just straight gas the whole way thru. Excellent video I’m going to have to try these tips out.

This video took me twice as long to watch because I kept forgetting to listen or watch.

0:29 I got it right without pausing. I got the analog one wrong after pausing for a while and getting frustrated lol. it's just a matter of what you're used to I guess. also the analog clock you animated is much easier to read than the images you used. I set windows to show seconds in the (digital) taskbar clock and it does feel reassuring in a way so maybe there's something to that. mini-deadlines every 5 mins works with digital as well.

Hi Luke - I’ve discovered your brilliant videos just today. I hope you’re ok. Thank you

Awesome video

Who also had to watch twice? One time to read and one time to listen

Well shit...I lost track of time noticing how hot this dude is 😢

This video was hard without subtitles. I usually speed things up, but had to slow you down because you already talk super fast, and with an accent, and you slur some words, so I found myself rewinding a lot just to try and hear what you said. I'd recommend turning on auto captions or captioning your video because I missed a lot of words.

I have adhd and simply don't agree with this at all... digital ftw

I set two, one on Alexa and another on smartwatch just in case

I've been putting off watching this for two years... I think it's time

I'm inclined to just poo poo this as bullshit but this is my every day every second reality

For me, it is hours that I waste at a daily basis. I literally have books that have been sitting on the same place for 10 years and I have not read them though I remember the last page I read. I always return to things a year or two later. My symptoms worsened when I was in university. My degree and college experience were largely determined by my ADHD and time blindness. I wasted a lot of time and procrastinated always. I always feel I warped through time.

I have a habit of totally miscalculating, misjudging how much time something will take me… that messes me up a lot. I might see I’ve got half an hour to spare before I have to go somewhere and then I’ll think of something to do quickly till then, and then the next minute I’ve missed the boat

Thank fuck you had the solution in the first 10 seconds
