Losing track of time

Yep. I have to tell work to manage how much information they give me - because I'll try and process it all if I'm not careful.

They're learning. Slowly.

cool yes so far it hasn't hindered my life, I thought it was maybe something to do with it. Also stress can be a factor maybe ?

I've read this can be an AS thing. It happens to me, but has never had any bad consequences so I don't worry about it and just laugh at myself.

I get memory loss like a switch cutting off. I can be doing one thing and go to do another and it just goes, I recall within a few seconds but its like a blip in the brain, could be part of ADHD.  As the brain is on a continuous hamster wheel of dialogue and the anxiety caused via the intense  stream of information, causes the brain to keep rebooting to focus perhaps ? does anybody get this or am I just smoking way too much Ganja !

If I'm busy with work-stuff and start getting overloaded with chopping and changing -  where I am in the week becomes very, very fuzzy. Always, always, always lose track of time when I'm fixated on a task. So much so that I've got numerous alarms to remind myself to eat, because light-headedness and my stomach rumbling are apparently not enough.

....and if I write. Boy if I write.... I lose track of everything!!!!

Yesh, i grew up on a farm, no one ever had a clue what day it was except market day, which was actually just a day when everyone was intown and in the pub, one big social.

It was business owners that cared about workers'days, treat as many days as Sat or Sun as you can getaway with! It's good for the planet, human society, those around you, and you.

does it matter ?

I thought it was Thursday.

it was man you invented days of the week, months , calendars,  and time keeping. All of rest of natural follows the natural rhythms. You are doing nothing wrong, and enjoy your freedom from artificial constraints.

And, it's not January, it's March.  I walked through the woods and daffodil buds are starting to show a bit of yellow colours.

I see your Saturday looks different. If you could feel how a certain day felt, how do you think it would feel? 

A long lie in, football, shopping in town, different TV schedule, just different from the rest of the week.

I just finished breakfast at 11:20am.

Neighbours cars are still parked, so people are not driving to work.

Definitely Saturday.

Yes sometimes if I don’t have a routine- just the other day I thought Wednesday was Thursday

What does Saturday morning feel like?

I don't care what the rest of the world says, it feels like Saturday morning to me.

Total opposite on time, but easily lost on days.

On time I play games with myself. When I wake up in the morning I try n guess the time. I just zone into my senses, light n sound, and can normally guess to within minutes. I do this during the day and love surprising people how accurate I can guess time, normally within minutes even if it's been all day since i've had any contact with a time telling device. For ten years, pre mobiles,i didn't wear a watch and would rock up and catch buses, etc on time.

But people often laugh at me at how lost i am on what day it is, or my childlike surprise when i discover it's friday when i think it's weds, or vice versa. Doesn't cause me problems.

Does it cause you problems?
