My spouse cannot understand why I can’t make plans earlier in the day when I already have something scheduled. But they don’t have the problem where if they let something else have their attention for even a short time, all of a sudden it’s bedtime and they completely forget about the appointment.
It’s also a struggle for me with getting ready in the morning. I have to try and find the sweet spot where I’m ready a little early but not so early I decide I have time to do something else and then I’m late.
This should be an official question on the ADHD screening because this explains how I feel exactly.
