Time-Check
"This'll only take 5 minutes" — will it though? ADHD brains are notoriously bad at estimating time. Guess, then see a kinder, more realistic number.
Does time always run off like that?
Time-blindness is one of five patterns. Seven quick taps says which is yours, plus the free tool built for it.
What Time-Check is for
ADHD comes with genuine time blindness — a task guessed at 10 minutes routinely eats 25, and that gap gets read as a personal failure instead of what it actually is: a known, common estimating error.
When to use it
- You keep saying 'this'll only take a minute' and it never does
- You're constantly running late despite feeling like you left enough time
- You want to plan a task without lying to yourself about how long it takes
How it works
Type the task and your gut-feel guess in minutes. You get back a more realistic estimate, plus an optional count-up timer so you can see the real number for next time, no judgement either way.
