So time blindness has always been a thing that has left me feeling like I'm failing at life... question is after many work interventions, and warnings (verbal/written/final...) strategies, plans, tools and attempts... what have you found to be the most helpful ways to keep your head above the water of upsetting others?
Well for me 3 things, are important. #1 I had to accept that this is a part of me, and always will be. Not cool, but a fact. #2 setting timers to keep track of time, AND accept I might not be done with the task, but other task are more important now. #3 set a date/time for when to continue the task I stopped doing. It's not a miracle plan, but it helps me a bit.
I have most always had a job where I can be late and work at my own pace… which is actually fast but not on a neurotypical schedule
I set alarms for every 5 minutes before I need to do something but that still barely works
Same here. I tend to ignore my own alarms.
Yes I become blind to the alarms, so I set them earlier then they don't seem important enough...
I accepted this trait in me. I always send a message if I'm getting late
The only thing I have found that works for me are caring people who are not afraid to be straight forward with me and can keep me on my toes when I need to be. They are few and far between.
