“I’m going to bed at 10 p.m.” might be the biggest lie I tell myself all week. Most nights, I find myself doom-scrolling Instagram, reading The Surfer’s Journal, or doing random last-minute tasks that absolutely don’t need to get done. Then, I wake up groggy, behind, and irritated at the world (and myself).

For neurodivergent adults, exercise is one of the most overlooked yet effective ways to boost executive function skills. I used to think it was just about trying to get ripped. And, when life got busy, it was the first thing to go.

Being late makes people feel unimportant. It sends a message (unintentionally!) that their time doesn’t matter. Many neurodivergent adults, especially those with ADHD, struggle with time wisdom. We lack internal awareness of how time passes and how long things actually take.
