ADHD 5 minute time hack #adhdbrain #neurodivergent #adhd

[stevanewald]

I am an assistant coach for a mixed martial arts gym. We also use this trick there. If we tell our kids to go get water and come back in 1 minute. They move slow and take their time, if you say 60 seconds everyone moves with urgency and lines back up quickly.

I'm very successful with telling myself "300 seconds only" since I learned that from you. I don't know why 300 seconds gives me the necessary adrenaline rush - while 5 minutes makes a list pop up in my mind of all the things I could still do (on a planet where 5 minutes equals 2 hours ...)

“Oh good I have 299 seconds before I need to get ready”

[lochie]

Kinda interesting how 300 seconds sounds long for some people and short for others.

This reminds me of when I told my coworker we had one song left instead of 3 minutes

Seconds are much more immediate and pressing than minutes, for sure 😀

I'd love to use this on my dad, but he is also REALLY good at math 😅

My problem is im super numbers oriented, so the second someone gives me something weird like 300 seconds mu brain goes 'that weird should be minutes... its... 5 minutes' and continues to act like its 5 minutes.

For those who appear to have missed the point, you do things that work for you to trick your brain into doing what you need to do. If this didn't work for you, this didn't work for you. It might work for some people, and the more ideas you get, the more you may come up with yourself and may find something new that works.

This needs to be seen by the whole world.

I have adhd and if my husband said 300 seconds my dumb ass would be standing there calculating what that is in minutes 😂

[boxedbutbetter]

Huh, so all my husband needs to do is tell me time in seconds. That's crazy effective and fascinating.

[maddkidd]

I wish I could find someone to understand me the way he understands you.

[lordmage]

Trying not to be late with adhd is the reason why I start getting ready like 1 1/2 hours early in case I get side tracked or remember smt small I have to do XD

[davidwadas]

It's funny because I HAVE TO LEAVE IN 5 MINUTES!!!

[kenstr]

Don't tell her about 600 seconds.

[ipodguy]

It’s weird, seconds sounds less than minutes, but 300 sounds way more than 5

[gozongaz]

The gunsnroses and ac dc shirt are sick

[auroraborealis]

300 seconds….I’d have a shower and wash my hair, 5 mins I’d dry shampoo and apply deodorant

I love your pants, Rox! You both have such cool style and pull it off extremely well. ❤️
