The Brain Coach podcast is hosted by executive function expert and ‘Brain Coach’ Mary Turos. Take a deep dive into executive functions and simple strategies based in neuroscience to overcome obstacles and achieve personal progress. Each episode provides insights from a community of educators, researchers, therapists, clinicians, family members to support a healthy brain.
This episode explains ”time blindness,” a neurologically based difficulty perceiving and managing time often linked to ADHD, and clarifies that it’s a performance issue, not laziness.
Mary Turos outlines practical strategies to externalize time—using analog clocks, visual timers, padded scheduling, staggered alarms, and external structure like calendars or accountability—to help manage daily tasks and deadlines.
