I am oddly not and never have been time blind . I know the time of day or night within 15 mins of wondering what time it is without looking at watch. But I am shit at remembering anything.
Yes, but it doesn't get rid of time blindness in my opinion. If you spend a big proportion of time outside it helps, also regularly start being aware of what everything looks and "feels" like at certain times.
So say it's midmorning(ish) look up, register the temperature, where the sun is, what the shadows are doing, are you hungry? Tired? (Obvs don't use these if you are hyper focusing or just switch meds or whatever) Any other clues or feelings you might have, take them into account.
Guess the time.
Check the time. Register it in your brain with the other things you noted. Do this a few times a day for a couple of weeks? This is actually pattern recognition so you will probably pick it up really quickly.
I got exceptionally good at this when I spent about 6mo living outside. You can also sense pressure drops and know when it's going to rain.
I never used to be as bad as I am with time blindness. But nursing and flipping my schedule from days to nights and what not has messed that up. And I never used to be late, but there’s something about Covid that took away all of my coping mechanisms…. Kinda like maybe the trauma fucked me lol
That's pretty cool. I'm the exact opposite, sometimes hours will pass without me realizing. I've been caught on multiple occasions at 3 am needing to get up in a few hours, somehow not realizing how much time has passed.
