Time Management for ADHD Professionals
Visual time blocking techniques designed specifically for people with ADHD to overcome time blindness and improve focus.
The Problem
People with ADHD often struggle with time blindness, difficulty estimating how long tasks take, and maintaining focus. Traditional calendar apps don't provide the visual feedback needed to make time tangible.
The Solution
DayZen's radial clock visualization makes time tangible and visible, helping ADHD professionals see time passing in real-time. The visual format reduces cognitive load and helps maintain focus through structured time blocks.
Key Benefits
Visual time representation reduces time blindness
Structured blocks help maintain focus and reduce distractions
Clear boundaries prevent overcommitment
Visual feedback provides immediate sense of progress
How to Get Started
Start with Short Blocks
Begin with 25-30 minute blocks to match your attention span. Use the Pomodoro technique with built-in breaks.
Use Visual Cues
The radial clock provides constant visual feedback, making it easier to stay aware of time passing.
Batch Similar Tasks
Group similar tasks together to reduce context switching, which is particularly challenging for ADHD brains.
Build Routines Gradually
Start with one or two time blocks per day and gradually expand as you build consistency.
