Systems are the methods we employ to use our executive functioning. It’s a process. It takes time and practice.
You probably know the feeling. You have big ideas, high standards, and a packed schedule, but something still keeps you from moving forward. If you’re a female entrepreneur, perfectionism and procrastination can feel like your constant enemies. When you want everything to be just right, it’s easy to put off big decisions or delay sharing…
Perfectionism tells you every detail must be just right. For women entrepreneurs with ADHD, this feeling can be both familiar and exhausting. Chasing perfect leaves you stuck, second-guessing your every step instead of moving forward with your dreams. Trying to do everything “the right way” can stop good ideas from ever getting started. It gets…
Living with executive dysfunction is a little like trying to run a race with your shoes tied together. You want to move forward with purpose and confidence, but somehow you trip up, get stuck, or just plain forget which way you were heading in the first place. One of the trickiest parts? Keeping track of…
Time blindness and emotional dysregulation often go hand in hand. Time blindness, that feeling of losing track of minutes (or even hours), is more common than most people think. Emotional dysregulation is that rush of feelings that seem to come out of nowhere and linger far too long. Living with both can make everyday life…
You might think time blindness is just about running late, but it goes a lot deeper than that. Time blindness means struggling to notice the passing of time, which can turn planning and follow-through into real challenges. At its core, it’s not about laziness or not caring.

Have you ever promised yourself you’d stick to a daily routine, only for time blindness to allow time slip through your fingers? You might look at the clock and wonder how the afternoon vanished, or maybe tasks pile up because you can never quite tell how long things actually take. If this sounds like your…
Do you ever get lost in a task, only to glance up and realize hours zipped by? That state is called hyperfocus. It’s when your brain tunes out everything else, pulling you in so deeply that time and even your needs slip away. Hyperfocus feels familiar if you have ADHD, but anyone can experience it….
If you ever look up and wonder where all your time went, you’re not alone. Time blindness is when hours slip away without warning, and it makes ordinary weekly planning feel almost impossible. You try the planners and reminder apps, but things still fall through the cracks. That doesn’t make you lazy or careless. For…
Time is slippery. Some people seem to have a built-in clock, always on time, always ready. Others feel like minutes vanish, hours speed up, and deadlines sneak past with barely a warning. This can lead to arguments, confusion, or even shame in relationships. If you or your partner experience time blindness, it can be tough…
