Managing Time

Individuals with cognitive impairments may experience an inability to mark time as it passes incrementally by minutes and hours. This can affect the ability to gauge the proper amount of time to set aside for certain tasks. It may be difficult to prepare for, or to remember, work activities that occur later in the week, month, or year.
