Lucy had an AI CRM software company that businesses went crazy over.
Not only was the software amazing, but Lucy has built an amazing company culture that was felt by the customers.

However, there was a big issue. Time.
Deadlines weren't met, projects were taking longer than they had to and Lucy found herself always running late.

With one simple switch, Lucy saved 45 minutes every morning.
With a bit more awareness and implementation, time was no longer an issue.

While you are doing any task, you (without even realizing it!) are using your 28 thinking skills.

When the thinking skills you need to use are strong, doing the task happens easily.
If the thinking skill you need to use is weak, doing the task will be a challenge.

The struggle that Lucy had, came from a weak thinking skill of understanding time.
​

Understanding time is one of the biggest misconceptions with ADHD.
There are many experts who say this is the basis of ADHD. People with ADHD are time blind… It’s now or later…blah...blah...

Understanding time is simply a thinking skill that your brain can learn.
Just like you can learn to ride a bike or write your name, you can learn to understand time.

The difference is your brain may need to learn the concept of time in a different way to other people.
It’s not that you can’t learn it. It’s that you need to learn it in a different way.
Lucy’s brain needed to learn how long tasks take and use that information to her benefit.
​

The first thing I gave Lucy to do, was for a week she should time that tasks she does often - shower, cooking, answering emails, Zoom meeting etc.

By the end of the week, she had an average of how long each task took and it also showed her brain what say 20 minutes looks like.

​With this information & skill, she can now move onto the next step.

Every day, before she went home, Lucy would plan the next day.
She used the information of how long a task takes into consideration when planning her day she plans on work that actually be done in a day and went home feeling she did the planned work instead of feeling she just had a long to-do list left.

Also, because her brain now knew how long tasks took, it put her in the position to prioritize and focus on the tasks that needed the most attention.
Instead of starting her day with the easy tasks or whatever came up, she focused on the important, needle moving tasks as it was no longer “Oh, I’ll do this later” now her brain knew she had to do it now or else there wouldn’t be time later.
Work got done. On time.

When she was creating a deadline with her team or clients, she no longer threw out unrealistic dates.
Instead, she took a few moments to look what was on her plate, how long the task would take and use the information to create a realistic timeline that worked for everyone.

Oh! Did I mention she also planned her day at home so now when she woke up in the morning, she knew what was happening when and managed to save a full 45 minutes each morning?!
