Meet Evie Hartman
Evie is a Freelance Social Media Manager, Graphic Designer, and a Community Manager. She enjoys working in virtual worlds and has ADHD. She loves it when a task commands her attention but hates that her hyperfocus on projects causes her to be time-blind.
"Hyper-focus is a superpower. I wouldn't trade it for the world myself, but it definitely comes with a lack of knowledge of how much time has passed."
Evie had one big problem while tracking time as a freelancer with ADHD
Evie suffers from time blindness. Because she has ADHD, she can hyperfocus on projects. This is great for her clients, but bad for her paycheck because she can’t track how much time she spends on the several actions she takes while working on a project.
She tried neurotypical methods like time blocking to combat this problem. It worked for a while, but sometimes, she wasn’t motivated enough to do a particular task at its allotted time. Time blocking didn’t help her during those periods.
"Time blocking was both useful at times and also frustrating at times to see things roll over day after day after day after day after day." ~ Evie Hartman
She couldn’t confidently bill her clients and was constantly worried when sending invoices.
Even though she spent a considerable amount of time working on client projects, she could not remember how much time she spent or what exactly she did, thanks to time blindness.
This resulted in constant stress. In her words, she “kicked herself” for not remembering.
Freelancers who remember and track every task find it easy to send invoices. But freelancers with ADHD, like Evie, who have difficulties recording each activity find it harder to charge their worth, thereby losing money in the process.
“To be a freelancer with ADHD is difficult sometimes... ~ Evie Hartman

“I don't write down when I switch applications. I don't write down when I necessarily start work on any given day as a freelancer and when I stop. Having that memory, being able to live outside my brain is just incredible. I can tell a client how much time I've spent without having to stress about it myself and kick myself when I can't remember. So yeah, great tool. Perfect tool for that for me.” ~ Evie Hartman
