I’m not sure what I thought you meant when you said timeblindness, but I definitely thought it was something I didn’t struggle with 😂
Guess I was wrong there.
I actually think this is where a lot of my anxiety (and my apparent need to be medicated) comes from... got a bit of unpacking to do from this post I think
Yes! A huge source of anxiety for me too. I used to think everyone experienced time this way. It's been one of the hardest things to manage since becoming a mum.
I thought I was going to keep my word for a second year last year and then a new one magically showed up... wondering if the same thing will happen this year... Time is so tricky, seasons are easier.
Am just realizing I didn't even touch on creative flow here. The way time melts away when I am focused on something.
And yes, seasons! I can't remember if we talked about this, but I am trying seasonal planning in 3 month chunks moving into the new year. It feels less rushed than a weekly and monthly focus.
I do this! So in the journal you can do that too they are called chapters which I just think is so much more romantic than quarters! Ah yea creative flow... my morning times just disappear...
Eeeek! So excited! I started with the back pages around gifts then went to the rainbows then planned some markers for my chapters! It’s a real dip in and out affair! I’ve just written up our Christmas meal plans in there! ✨🎁🧚🏻
I definitely struggle with time blindness. I know I function better with structure and lately I haven’t been able to discipline myself to get back into it. I have been binge reading instead of spending time developing my purpose work. Trying not to should on myself...
Maybe the reading is feeding your purpose work or serving as self regulation. I find I need both creative work and binge reading and they are incredible entwined. (Even when it may not seem to be.) Have you read The Crossroads of Should & Must? 💫
'Time blind' - this is so fascinating, Sarah! I'm not time blind, but I can partly identify, because I call myself 'path blind'. I'm a disorient (yes, I've made up that word!) in that I get lost extremely easily, and I don't recognise many places that I've been. Frustratingly many regular journeys I make feel like brand new ones, because they're not familiar even when I know that I know them!
Oh, I am that way in a car! I do better on foot somehow. It's fascinating to share these neurodivergent experiences and see what resonates and how it's a little different for everyone. Thanks for dropping by. 🥰
That's so interesting, Sarah - so it's different for you by car and on foot! When I first became aware of my issue I was flabbergasted that I get equally lost INSIDE as outside - I'm talking buildings...! 😳🤣
I'm not sure if it still holds up - I don't think I've been to a truly new place since before COVID times, but it used to be that way. It was like route was memorized by my body and not my eyes. When I did an internship in Washington D.C. GPS wasn't a thing yet. I would get lost and call my parents and they would look at a map and try to tell me where to turn. It was ridiculous. 😂 I still get lost with GPS sometimes. I haven't been lost inside before, but it makes complete sense to me how that would be a thing.
Oh.
I mean. Yeah.

Ah, yes! I don't like the term quarters either. Too business-y. Have only flipped through your journal so far. Looking forward to digging in. 🥰

Such an interesting post - thank you. 🙂
