I’m this way for my scheduled appointments. For the store I’ll just get an idea in my head that I need groceries and I’ll just get up and go to the store wandering around looking at stuff and building meals off of whatever I grab. But then I get to work almost an hour early and just play on my phone for 45 minutes.
Yeah, I’m also more on the time blindness overcompensation club.
If I have no time fixed, minutes stretch into hours.
If I have some fixed time scheduled, I live by the clock and will rather be way too early than a little to late.
I have to trick my non ADHD wife to be on time, because if there’s a schedule, I’m the master time keeper.
Being late is just way more stressful and I hate rushing and the anxiety of being too late to the train or some doctor or whatever.
My coping mechanism is to have the anxiety way earlier than other people. Everyone believes I’m amazingly organized.
