Have you ever planned to watch just one or two episodes of a TV show, only to realize many hours have passed? Or are you often late because getting ready always takes longer than you thought? These are common signs of time blindness. It is a term used to describe difficulty in sensing how much time has passed or determining how long a task will take. Generally, all humans have inner clocks that help them feel time.
