Oh absolutely. Frankly I can’t imagine it being any other way.
Whenever possible, I schedule things as early as possible on the day. I’ll take that 8 AM dental appointment or whatever. And it’s not just unpleasant things either. I also prefer a cinema visit as early as possible for example.
I definitely feel like my day is ‘on pause’ whenever I’m doing a thing later in the day. It’s very annoying not to be able to enjoy the rest of your day because of it. So, early it is.
I feel so seen right now.
That’s why I try my best to make the earliest possible appointments
I need that time before my appointment to pace back and forth worrying that I might miss my appointment
And then get there an hour early to pace
Or wear yourself out pacing and lay down for a nap or distraction and end up 5 minutes late.
Or the night before, for that matter.
This was a meme that made me start looking into having ADHD.
I always thought it was because I was an introvert.
I described it to a few folk, and they were like “I don’t think that’s being an introvert”.
More Google led to “waiting mode” which describes it perfectly.
Everything from a weekend being “the only commitment is work on Monday, so I better do nothing to make sure I make the most of it”. Through “dentist at 13.00, might as well have a lie in” and still being late.
