I think I may have ADHD [edit: I do], but I think this: “I’ll look at the clock and just suddenly realize that I wasn’t working for the past half hour.” is a more severe version of a problem that I have. For me, this problem never lasts for more than 5-10 minutes before I notice, unless perhaps I am very sleep-deprived. And for me, it is usually caused by sleep deprivation (which causes me to slip into daydreaming, or “microsleep”). Have you considered that you might have ADHD and/or sleep deprivation? If you do, then getting treatment for it might help more than any particular time management system.
And this goes for anyone who has particularly severe problems with time management as well, I suppose. It doesn’t mean you necessarily do have ADHD, but it does mean you should check the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, in my opinion.
