- Considering that the 24hour digital clock and the importance of everyone having better grasps on time was popularised by a British guy railway engineer called 'Sir Sandford Fleming'. It is a little funny that I'm a young British adult with ADHD filming a video on how to help dealing with ADHD in a train station, talking about how bad the system is.
Special Thanks: Alicja & Shady for their invaluable help making this video
It's easier for me to figure out the time difference on a digital clock (maybe I'm just used to them), but I agree on the visual cue of time passing being useful.
Seems to me that having a constant knowledge of the time and its passing (along with audio cues) would trigger my anxiety.
I struggle with reading analog clocks. I was shocked I couldn't tell the time difference for both lmao. ADHD might be the least of my worries LOL. I am convinced from this video though that I should consider getting an analog clock while I'm working. The day just disappears on meI get time blindness all the tiiiiime.
I found that the examples you gave had the opposite effect for me than the point you were trying to make.
Digital clock example: I was able to jump into doing the math easily. (2 minutes to get to 11, then to get 12 I add... where am I again... 11 - 1 hour, then 34 minutes - 1:36, done). I paused the video, and I mightn't have been able to get it in the time frame the video gave, but it was only a few seconds longer. That being said, I find quick math more easy and intuitive than a lot of people.
As for the analgoue clocks, I stared at them uncomprehendingly for a moment and went 'uh... the short hand is the hour... um... ah, whatever' and unpaused the video to see the answer. I had difficulty getting my mind to translate from the clock format.
the real takeaway is that the system that works best for one person might not work best for another. The ticking of an analogue clock might distract me if I need silence. I find that a digital clock *with seconds* is the best system (as the seconds remind me the time is flowing constantly). That being said, this video has reminded me that I do need to try having more deadlines and boundaries.
Oh shit, i sub to this dude thinking his channel was dead-ish. This is a happy surpise. Glad to see.
I've been struggling to set aside as much time and energy as I need to make good videos faster D: I appreciate your patience
I found the videos you made previously to be good, and we know you have ADHD, so I feel like I’m willing to be patient if you make videos at a slower pace than you would like. Do what works for you! :)
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.
I was waiting for this video! Thank you for all content here and in Notion. It only motivate me to check my diagnosis. ❤
Back again! We missed you! Thanks for the new content and all the hard work you put into it
HARD disagree on this one, I've always struggled with reading analogue clocks, while digital just made sense instantly
Maybe it's just that my ADHD has a pinch of dyslexia added for flavor. But still I feel like it's more of a personal preference than a universal ADHD thing.
I think digital clocks are just easier, its literally the basic maths that we all learned at school. Analog clocks you have to get used to them, and for the new generations its all digital
Yeah, I think it might be a personal preference. I think I need a mix of both. I have analog clocks hanging around my house because that makes sense to me and I can comfortably read them, but I do sometime misread my analogue clock in the morning in bed, thinking I’m late when I’m actually early or on time, so I feel having both available is very helpful. Just, more time reminders !!
Agree. Being taught how to read analogue clocks in infant school is my earliest memory of not understanding something.
Even today, I can't read an analogue clock without spending at least five seconds decoding it.
You explain it so well and you've realised so many things for us that I can only say... please keep making videos!!!
After hearing this tip in the previous video, ive been wanting to get a cute analog clock that does chime every hour, partially for me, but also for my boyfriend. I know i benefit from stucture and have plenty of alarms set up for various things, so im always a little aware of the time. But he struggles a lot more, and hes keen on the idea! So now we just need s clock!
Also, i will say, last night, i went swimming, coulsnt have my phone on me, obviously, but there was an analog clock, and i think jt was easier to read from a distance, with dim lighting. So thats a plus I think!
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
Hi Luke - I’ve discovered your brilliant videos just today. I hope you’re ok. Thank you
I like your comparison to the loading bar. Hands on the clock give me a picture of where the time is at.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
Maybe it’s just me but I find telling the time on an analog clock incredibly difficult, I need to look at both handles and figure out what they mean and put it together. And when you showed the two pictures of 1 - the digital clocks with a time difference and 2 - the analog clocks with a time difference, I was able to calculate the time difference between the digital numbers you showed while it was still on screen but wasn’t even able to read the time on the first analog clock while it was on screen, let alone the second one, let alone figure out the time difference.
So I guess we’re all different, and having ADHD doesn’t mean that the same things work better for all of us.
Oh and while I agree that pie charts are very good at conveying information, the reason I don’t think it applies to analog clocks is that you don’t see when you started doing something. The chunks of time that passed aren’t actually displayed on it. It’s all just little dots and I cannot remember where the handle was the last time I looked.
So for me the time on the analog clock is much more abstract. I have learned to work with just numbers and give meaning to them, so that works for me.
The only thing I’ll agree with is the ticking noise. I can see how that makes time passing more tangible but I also imagine that at some point you won’t even hear it anymore.
I’d just stick an analogue clock and a digital clock right next to each other & get the best out of both 😂
Oh god! Are you still in this city? You are amazing and are changing my life. I relate so much. If by any chance you wanna meet I am from here
If I could read analog clocks this could work for me. Haveing the auditory reminder of time could be helpful or it could be more distracting.
In the druch train stations there are only round clocks

Did you really attach an egg to the digital watch? Awesome 🤣
Two different throws 😉
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 personally prefer analog and you make a good case but as you say at the end, analog clocks *might* be better for some people, but I've met plenty of people including with ADHD who can't use analog at all and find digital is easy to use, so its each to their own.

Good argument
bold of you to assume i can learn to read analog clocks i dont even understand am/pm
The sond of analog clock is absolutely horrible. It's pure torture for me. I can't stand it so just becasue of that it's digital clock for me.
I have adhd and simply don't agree with this at all... digital ftw
Didn't know u were portuguese
