Concept of time

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone have trouble with getting things done on time, whether it's a short term or long term goal? Do you find time slipping away and before you know it, you have pissed yet another year away? Yeah same here. -_-

I have trouble getting things done on time and trouble getting them done at all.

for the little stuff, i manage to get 'em done but in a relatively inordinate amount of time, compared with somebody who functions normally. the big stuff [getting college degree, getting a real career, et al] i've had to just forget about.

executive dysfunction, i hate it the most when i dont get stuff done

Good to know it isn't just me. I got the stuff necessary to decorate the flat - think US call them condo? - in September 2010. I stripped the old wallpaper off of one wall. Still haven't completed the preparation. I want to. I keep getting ready. Then I don't.

Do you guys know if this has anything to do with having Autism/Asperger's? I've tried doing research but I haven't come across any information about the subject. I've always known that years passed me by but I recently started caring...maybe it's because I'm going to be turning 30 in June. I know see how much time I waste, when before days, weeks, and months would pass by and I hadn't gotten anything significant accomplished.

Well it has to do with how it says people with aspergers go by a strict schedule. If we don't, then we don't get stuff done and hours can just go by without noticing it. Which is why we need a schedule.

Often when I think I did something for just 15 minutes, an hour has gone by. I have very little sense of time.

If I follow a pattern or schedule I always use for certain activities, time doesn't go mysteriously missing, since I'm not idling or distracted from said activities.

Very true, which is why I love buying planners each year and I even decorate the cover to make it more fun to look at it every day LOL Hey, whatever works! It's very true, we do need a visual guidance of time, it helps tremendously.

It's so bad over here I constantly have to watch to not shift my biorhythm daily.

Hours pass like minutes here.

I need 2 hours at least to get myself ready for work.

Being a mild CFS'er doesn't help either, especially at mornings.

I have ADD on top of being on the spectrum, and by now, the ADD issues are the worst. Yeah. Days are like minutes to me. Feels like nothing ever gets done.

yes
I have trouble getting out of the house on time in the mornings
Being ADD (undiagnosed) makes it a lot worse -_-
I dunno how time flies. Days go by so fast and I have to look at a calendar to remind myself which day it is at times.
