@lifewithtrees Feels like that article was written by someone in hyperfocus ha! I use timers a lot for things like cooking. For other things I’ve got used to doing everything as fast as possible so it’s done and out of the way before I get distracted. I’m always early for everything, sometimes by hours, because I’ve had some severe rage/judgemental responses from family members for being late before.

@aegir I get that! I’m having a hard time accepting I need to live my life by timers. It makes me feel broken and anxious, so I resist using them and then the issue reoccurs. Sounds like I need to push through the feelings and accept I need help and that it’s ok. Like I’d feel like it’s ok for anyone else to use them. Did/do you feel shame or anxiety for actively living with timers?
