It feels pretty accurate to my own experiences. No matter what time I start work, I have to make sure I wake up no more than 90 minutes before it’s time to leave. For instance, my current shift starts at 5:30 P, so I wake up at 4:00 P. Otherwise, the longer I’m awake, the more time I have to convince myself of reasons to call out for the day.
Is this an ADHD thing? I used to have a job where I started at noon. It was horrific!
It’s not strictly an ADHD thing (is anything?), but it’s a product of poor time management and anxiety, which are common with ADHD.
I don’t know if it’s strictly ADHD but my brain can’t relax at all if I have pending appointments. At least if I remember them.
Because if you do relax you WILL forget
