Making Time Tangible
For many neurodivergent minds, time doesn't feel like a linear progression. It's either "now" or "not now," a phenomenon often called 'Time Blindness'. This tool is designed to counteract that by transforming the abstract concept of time into a simple, visual, and tangible format.
See Your Day
Instead of just numbers, you see the day as a finite collection of dots, helping you to grasp its scope and structure.
Feel the Flow
Watching the dots fill up provides a calm, constant, and non-distracting awareness of time passing, reducing anxiety.
Stay Grounded
The visual progress acts as a mental anchor, gently pulling you back to the present moment and what you need to focus on right now.
Ways to Use Your Time Visualizer
- As a Focus Anchor: Keep it open on a second monitor while working or studying. The silent progression of dots can help maintain your focus bubble.
- For Task Transitioning: Use the "Today" view to decide when to wrap up one task and start another. When you see you're entering a new 10-minute block, it's a gentle cue to switch gears.
- For Long-Term Perspective: Check the "Year" or "Life" view once a week. Seeing your life visualized can be a powerful motivator to prioritize what truly matters.
