Ironically I actually have very good time perception, it’s not uncommon for me to guess the current time of day within a few minutes and I usually know pretty accurately how long I’ve been at some task. But all the same that doesn’t stop me from doing what you described and just blinking away entire hours. It’s just that when it happens, I generally know exactly how hard I just fucked myself :P
When I’m in blank mode on a plane, I usually mentally check in once every 45/60 minutes and sometimes confirm where I am in time (And space) by pulling up the real time flight map. If I’m off by 5 minutes that keeps me on track.

That’s super cool. I wish I could blank out the hours like that, except like… Opposite. Time goes too fast these days.
Yeah but sometimes you are doing something fun or useful for hours and it’s never wasted if it’s something important.
and here i am cranky if I’m off by 10 minutes.
