Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Kerb, and I have ADHD. On this

podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain.

Today I'm joined by Sky Waterson for our research recap series. In this series, we take a look at a

single research paper, dive into what the paper says, how it was conducted, and try and find

any practical takeaways.

In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called Time Perception and Adults of

Findings from a Decade, a Review.

In this paper, they're looking at analyzing a decade of research, and this is going to be

from 2012 to 2022, investigating the specific nature of time perception deficits for adults with ADHD.

Because time is a little bit more complex than we often think about it is.

And so let's get into how complex time is.

Yeah, this is an interesting one.

I'm going to put the results at the beginning, which is to say we struggle with all of this when we have ADHD. Like this is, we know this and the study, the long literature review over a decade of research indicates that yes, if there is a time struggle and you have ADHD, you probably struggle with it. But the interesting piece, as we'll

said, was time is not one thing. And we're going to get a little bit esoteric here, but I'm

going to try and keep it grounded with some examples. Because they specifically looked at

three areas. They looked at time estimation, time reproduction, and time management.

And so, yeah.

Yeah.

And so, like, yeah, I think a lot of people kind of have the idea of what time estimation is.

You know, it's just like, how long did this take?

And then time reproduction being, you know, a task where a person is asked to replicate a specific duration that they were just exposed to.

So like, it's the same as time estimation, but in your like being like, this was just a minute, show us a minute.
